A differential communication circuit is connected to a communication line formed of a positive communication line and a negative communication line for differential communication. The differential communication circuit includes: a series circuit that includes a resistor element and a connection switch. The resistor element is connected between the positive and negative communication lines when the connection switch is turned on. The circuit also includes a transmission unit that is configured to output a differential signal to the communication line and a controller that is configured to change impedance of the communication line by turning on the connection switch in a period during which the transmission unit does not output the differential signal.

Described are power line communication (PLC) systems, devices and techniques which are reliable and suitable for use in control applications which can operate with relatively low data rates while complying with governing regulatory rules. Such systems, devices and techniques enable demand-side management of electrical loads in a building or facility or other environment.
