The Hegemon PLC ID System :
The Hegemon Power Line Control (PLC) Identification System is a system for tractor and trailer positive identification.
The PLC ID system uses the Power Line Control circuit to reliably communicate a unique ID between the tractor and trailer via the power line tether. This allows managers to positively identify tractor and trailer pairing for effective fleet utilization and control.
In addition, the PLC ID has one digital input that can be used to transmit vehicle sensor data through the PLC .
