7.2 Commissions
CE-Certification Comment Value CE Compliant to standards IEC 61000-1-2:2016 Funk-Certification Comment Value USA FCC ID: TFB-1002, 15.247 Canada IC ID: 5969A-1002, RSS 210 Europe CE Compliant to standards EN 62368-1, EN 300 328 and EN 301 489 Japan Giteki: 209-J00169 Australia / New Zealand RCM Explanations Passive PoETM (Power over Ethernet) is a simple way to supply power to the Beacon Line via an Ethernet cable. Passive PoETM uses free wires in the Ethernet cable (Plus 4;5 / GND 7;8) to transfer power to the device from one end to the other.
7.3 Features
Maximum Distance between nodes: 30m Minimum Distance between nodes: 13cm The data transfer lines (Ethernet / RS232 / RS422) are on pin 1, 2, 3 and 6. The powersupply is positive on pin 4 and 5 and with the negative potential (usually GND) on pin 7 and 8. It is not relevant on which end you give power to a Beacon Line (Gateway or last Node). The direction is neutral.
