Power over Ethernet Troubleshooting
It is possible to overload the Power over Ethernet
circuitry. Overloads are indicated by the PSE.
Check the documentation for your PoE Switch or
Midspan Injector. Most devices provide LED
indications of overload conditions.
Attempting to supply more than 270mA @ 24VDC
from your
drive.web
device will result in overloads.
Remember each of
smarty
‘s 8 Digital Outputs in
Source mode can deliver up to 50 mA at 24VDC.
Also, any devices connected to your
drive.web
device’s 24V terminal will be supplied by PoE when
no other source is provided.
Ethernet cables should have a standard RJ45 plug at
both ends. Connection should be direct from the
PSE to your
drive.web
device with no splitters,
splices or hubs in between.
If the PoE LED is not lit when you expect it to be
and there are no LED indicators at your PSE,
remove all loads from your
drive.web
device. The
terminal block plugs are removable. If the LED
turns on, replace the loads one by one until you
identify the overload.
If the PoE LED does not light with all terminal
block plugs removed, your PoE switch, Midspan
Injector or Ethernet cable may be defective and
require replacement.
