Power supply
Note
Galvanic isolation of the power supply unit
To ensure dielectric strength according to IEEE 802.3, the supplying 24 V power supply
unit must be galvanically isolated with a dielectric strength of 1500 VAC. The galvanic
isolation must also not be bridged by other devices connected to the same power supply
unit.
Note
All power supplies (24 V power supply unit or PoE) must not be connected to a main
supply higher than 300 V and the overvoltage category II.
Information on the power supply
•
There are two options for the power supply:
–
Direct infeed via the four-pin M12 connection socket
①
The power supply can be connected redundantly. The inputs L1/L2 are decoupled
There is no distribution of load. The power supply unit with the higher output
voltage supplies the device alone.
–
Power over Ethernet via the M12 Ethernet interface P2
②
.
The power supply cannot be connected redundantly.
•
For the direct infeed of the power supply, use copper cables with the following
properties:
–
Round cable cross-section with 6 to 8 mm diameter.
–
Two-wire cable with 0.5 to 1.5 mm
2
cross-section per wire.
–
Permitted tensile load at least 100 N. - UL
–
Listing of the cables according to the national installation regulations. In areas
where NEC or CEC applies: Type PTLC or ITC
•
To connect the functional ground, use a copper cable of category 20 AWG or a cable
with a cross-section
≥
0.75 mm².
