PLC and attatching a machine to computer (IMPORTANT)
Hello everyone, I have a couple of queries.
1) First is PLC , PLC stands for Power Line Careers. This phenomena is actually all about stuffing everything on electricity cables that carries power for ordinary households and other items. I have heard that it is already implemented in United States, UK and Canada that those ordianry aluminum electricity cables(or Power Line Career Cables) not only carry electricity for ordinary household items but also broad internet bandwidth, cable channels and some other services as well. This could bea great idea as it can reduce number of cables flying across the city. I tried to "GOOGLE" the term "PLC" but didnt find something helpful, I would really appreciate if someone could help me in this stuff or put up some links.
2) Thank you for procedding to my second query. My second query is how to communicate with a hardware machine using a computer. Like what if i want to switch on and off a 100 watt bulb using my computer or turning on and off a fan by sending some signal over wires from my computer. Or making it a little more complex, what if i want to turn on a machine's power using my computer, I would really appreciate someone putting up a tutorial or a link.
Thank you for reading my queries.
I would thank you all in advance.
