Abstract
An HVAC system is disclosed. In some embodiments, the HVAC system comprises a first component comprising a first communication module; a second component comprising a second communication module, the second component configured to communicate with the first component. The second communication module is configured to receive a first set of information over a power line and a second set of information over a communication line.
Claims15
A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system comprising:
- a first component comprising a first communication module;
- a second component comprising a second communication module, the second component configured to communicate with the first component, wherein the second communication module is configured to receive a first set of information over a power line and a second set of information over a communication line, wherein the first set and second set of information are sent simultaneously.
A communication system for communication between components of a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, the system comprising:
- a controller;
- a first communication module operatively connected to the controller;
- and
- a second communication module operatively connected to the controller and the first communication module, wherein the controller is configured to:
- send a first set of information to the first communication module, the first communication module being configured to send the first set of information to the second communication module over a power line;
- and
- send a second set of information to the second communication module over a communication line,
- wherein the first set and second set of information are sent simultaneously.
A method for communication between components of a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, the method comprising:
- sending a first set of information to a first communication module, the first communication module being configured to send the first set of information to a second communication module over a power line;
- and
- sending a second set of information to the second communication module over a communication line, wherein the first set and second set of information are sent simultaneously.
