If you have multiple connections on the bus, I suggest CAN-bus.
You can make RS485 work similarily, but vanilla RS485 doesn't cope well
with collisions.

You don't "inject" power on theese slower busses, you just deliver
power with a few extra wires in the cable.

If you have local power at the weighting stations, you could just as
well use that.
