Communication system for use in data communications between power generator and external unit
First Claim
1. A communication system for data communications between a power-generator and an external unit, in which the power-generator is designed to generate an output voltage at an output terminal thereof, the communication system comprising:
- a first modulator coupled to the output terminal of the power-generator and configured to;
convert first data into a first modulated signal, the first data being created in one of the power-generator and the external unit; and
transmit the first modulated signal to the other of the power-generator and the external unit such that the first modulated signal is superimposed on the output voltage at the output terminal of the power-generator; and
a first demodulator coupled to the output terminal of the power-generator and configured to;
when a second modulated signal containing second data is transmitted from the other of the power-generator and the external unit such that the second modulated signal is superimposed on the output voltage at the output terminal of the power-generator, receive the transmitted second modulated signal; and
demodulate the received second modulated signal into the second data.

Abstract
In a communication system, a first modulator converts first data created one of a power-generator and an external unit into a first modulated signal, and transmits the first modulated signal to the other of the power-generator and the external unit such that the first modulated signal is superimposed on the output voltage at the output terminal of the power-generator. When a second modulated signal containing second data is transmitted from the other of the power-generator and the external unit such that the second modulated signal is superimposed on the output voltage at the output terminal of the power-generator, a first demodulator receives the transmitted second modulated signal. The first demodulator demodulates the received second modulated signal into the second data.
