Abstract

A cargo handling system includes a power drive unit (PDU) configured to transport cargo within an aircraft. The cargo handling system further includes a cargo control unit (CCU) configured to output control data for controlling operation of the PDU. The cargo handling system further includes a power control unit (PCU) coupled to the PDU and the CCU. The PCU is designed to receive alternating current (AC) electrical power from a power source, convert the AC electrical power into direct current (DC) electrical power, receive the control data from the CCU, generate an output signal including the DC electrical power and the control data, and transmit the output signal to the PDU.
