Who is the leader in wired intelligence, PLC or KNX?

Who really is the bearer of wired intelligence? Huawei PLC or the traditional KNX protocol? Don't rush to judgment, read this before commenting.

- Differences in technical characteristics Although PLC and KNX are both wired transmission communication protocols, they differ in many ways.

- First, the technical characteristics of the difference. KNX with a special communication line, two core power supply, two core transmission signal.

And the PLC does both power supply and signal transmission via strong wires.

- Second, the compatibility of the system is different.KNX is the international standard protocol in the field of residential and building control, so as long as the products certified by the KNX Association can be interconnected and compatible with each other. But PLC communication has been used in the industrial sector in the early years, that is, 19 years when Huawei entered the smart home only in the country set off this PLC boom. But PLC has not yet realized interoperability due to the manufacturers' respective business.

- Third, the installation cost is different, PLC equipment communication is dependent on strong wires to complete, while KNX to spend extra money to lay a special weak wire. So it is not difficult to understand why KNX products are generally more expensive than PLC, and KNX requires more specialized technology to construction, while PLC installation is slightly simpler.

- Fourth, there are differences in security and stability, KNX originated from the European bus, seniority, very reliable, has become a lot of residential, airports, hospitals, hotels and other large buildings of choice for intelligent. While PLC is more stable and reliable compared to wireless, but still have to consider the interference of the power line, and the lack of large building cases.

So who's the cable deal carrier in your mind? Feel free to leave a comment in the comments section.
