Connectors for the power supply of the SCALANCE W786
Possible power supplies
The following power supplies are suitable for the SCALANCE W786:
●
48 V DC direct voltage
Use the two-pin connector supplied with the SCALANCE W786.
●
12 - 24 V DC direct voltage
Use the power supply adapter 12 - 24 V DC available as an accessory.
●
110 - 230 V DC direct voltage
Use the power supply adapter 110 - 230 V DC available as an accessory.
●
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
If an eight-wire Ethernet cable is used, it is possible to supply power over the four wires
that are not used as data lines. As an alternative, the voltage can be modulated onto the
data lines ("phantom power").
If a Fast Connect Ethernet connector is used to allow cable assembly in the field and due
to its greater mechanical strength, you can only use four-wire cables. In this case, only
phantom power is possible. This does not represent a restriction for the user because
PoE-compatible power equipment always provides both options.

removed
Perform the following steps to connect a 48 V DC cable to a SCALANCE W786:
1.
Connect the supplied connector to the 48 V DC cable. The figure above shows the
location of the socket in the housing and the contact assignment. The connector is safe
against polarity reversal and can only be inserted in the right-hand half of the housing
When connecting the cores, you should therefore make sure that the connector is
oriented as shown in the following figure.
