I've looked at the source mac, the source mac of the PLC appears in LLDP packets; i've connected also two other PC's and started a ping between them. The ICMP packet where captured by Wireshark, so I think that the HUB is really a HUB, any other idea about how to capture those PLC commands?

Look at the source Mac addresses you see, and don't see. That should indicate whether the hub is really a switch, OR that you're only seeing packets on one direction, but not the other. Feel free to pull the "hub" out and test it separately if needed.
