Power over Ethernet (PoE)
The DC2228A optionally operates using power supplied
over an Ethernet connection, eliminating the need for a
local power supply. To use this mode:
a. Set the power source selector (S1) to the PoE position.
b. Connect a PoE injector (Figure 3), PoE switch, or other
Power Sourcing Equipment capable of 90W (for exam-
ple, an LTPoE ++ demo board, DC1814A-D) to its power
adapter or supply.
c. Connect an Ethernet cable between J1 and the PoE
injector/switch output.

d. Connect an Ethernet cable between the PoE injector/
switch input and the PC running the Control Tool soft-
ware.
Because the DC2228A is nominally classified as a 90W
LTPoE ++ PD (Powered Device), it requires a PSE rated at
this power level for unrestricted operation.
Limited operation with a PSE rated for less power is possi-
ble, but the classification must be changed using Table 5.
For example, to operate using a 13W PoE injector, remove
the J42 shunt (keeping the J41 shunt in place) and restrict
the total power consumption accordingly.
A PSE rating below 90W might easily be adequate,
depending on the actual power consumed by devices
connected to eight ports. This consideration must take
into account whether the C/Q lines will drive DC loads
(e.g., in SIO mode) or only connect with IO-Link devices.
For additional guidance regarding PoE classification set-
tings, refer to the LT4275 data sheet.
