1. A method of transmitting a digital communication comprising:
- powering an input module and a first output module with direct current (DC) electrical power provided on at least one DC system power line;
receiving an input signal at the input module from an input source;
transmitting a serial command code based on the input signal, the serial command code being transmitted from the input module over the at least one DC system power line to the first output module, the DC electrical power being present on the at least one DC system power line during this transmitting step;
processing the serial command code at the first output module;
activating a load line from the first output module to a first load as a result of the processing step.

Abstract
The systems and methods of the present invention provide for conductive emissions communication without requiring dedicated communications wires. The systems and methods have the capability to send digital messages over the same wires that are used to power DC systems. Hardware filter circuits are combined with advanced algorithms in a communications control chip to permit the elimination of the dedicated wires, thereby needing zero additional wires to accomplish the task of digital control.
