In This Article, We First Want To Examine What POE Is And What It Does. Then We Will Refer To Its Types And Compare Industrial And Non-Industrial POE Equipment And Based On Different Parameters Influencing The Selection Of Equipment, We Will Choose One Of The Best Options.
Poe Equipment, We all know that when we have several electronic devices, to turn them on, we have to deliver electrical energy to the machines to turn them on. All instruments in the Ethernet network, such as video surveillance cameras, network telephones, and various industrial switch models, require electrical power to turn on. It means that each device has a separate adapter that converts the mains or direct current with two wires to the device’s input voltage and sends it to the device.
Since every device on the network needs an adapter, this can cause problems within the physical structure and implementation of the industrial Ethernet network.
It led IT, technicians and researchers, to conclude that to reduce cabling and costs and avoid the need for power outlets along with network devices, and on the other hand to minimize network breakdowns, transfer power and data on one platform and The only available platform that could do this was a data network cable. On the other hand, to transmit electricity in this way, the devices must support POE technology, and electricity is transferred to these devices through copper network cables with twisted pairs.
For example, a PoE switch provides the power needed to run other devices via an Ethernet cable.
The optimal performance and practical advantages of this technology have made it popular in recent years. Examples of applications of POE technology are as follows:
POE Industrial Ethernet Switches:
In addition to their normal function, POE Ethernet switches act as a power supply for network devices. The input power to the network cable for use by devices connected to the network with POE.
For network equipment to be placed and adapted to industrial environments with harsh environmental conditions such as humidity, temperature fluctuations, high-temperature range, dust, and mechanical stresses, they must support various industry standards.
Industrial Ethernet switches with their unique structure can be placed in such environments. If they support PoE technologies, depending on the output power of each Ethernet port, provide the electrical power required by network equipment.
POE splitters:
It is a small device that can separate data and power from POE network cable. POE power capability can add to network equipment without this capability. For example, this device is connected to a central switch with POE technology and then separates the data and power and converts it into two separate cables. The data cable is connected to the LAN port of the network device, and the power cable is connected to the power port of that device.
POE Media Converter:
A POE media converter is a good solution for developing a network platform via copper fiber or cable. The industrial media converter can receive data on the fiber optic platform as input and then transmit it on the Ethernet platform as a PSE device up to 100 meters to a PD device.
POE repeaters/extenders:
POE developers are used to connecting devices with long distances and more than 100 meters in the network bed. These devices, such as point-and-shoot cameras, usually have significant physical space to the central POE switch.
Industrial POE Equipment Manufacturers
European and Asian companies offer a variety of Ethernet and PoE solutions, with Germany Siemens being one of the largest and most reputable European brands in the field of industrial Ethernet with products such as SCALANCE and RUGGEDCOM.
In between the Chinese and Taiwanese Brands, Inc. O (ORing), MOXA, and ADVANTECH brands are the field’s name, each according to needs and budgets of different projects, can use them.
Among the mentioned brands, Adontek Taiwan, with its extensive product portfolio in industrial networks, industrial automation and computers, and industrial displays, is one of the ideal options for use in the country’s projects.
