The Edimax GP-203IT from Vepac Electronics is a Power over Ethernet (PoE) injector that not only delivers a cost-effective solution for power distribution, but also enables seamless deployment on the existing LAN infrastructure.
With the use of power injectors, DC power of up to 90 W based on the IEEE 802.3bt standard is merged with data from a non-PoE switch or router. These are then transmitted to the remote IEEE 802.3af/at/bt compliant products located through the Ethernet cabling without the need for a power outlet. Hence, the easy plug-and-play GP203IT 2.5 Gigabit PoE++ injector preserves your investment in hardware upgrade without the need to purchase extra PoE switches and deploy power cables.
Because the capability of IEEE 802.3af/at/bt Power over Ethernet (PoE) is added to a non-PoE Ethernet switch or router, the GP-203IT can be directly connected to any IEEE 802.3af/at/bt end-nodes. Examples are speed dome IP cameras, multi-channel wireless LAN access points, and thin clients where the IEEE 802.3af/at/bt in-line PoE port is supported.
The Power over Ethernet technology enables the Ethernet wire to carry both data and power with easy plug-and-play installation. Thus, the GP-203IT reduces the need for cable installation for the PoE-enabled devices and eliminates the need for electrical wall outlets or extension cords to reach the ceiling or any other remote, unreachable place. The GP-203IT is the perfect addition to existing non-PoE network infrastructures or retrofit projects.
Introduction to Part 2 loop signatures and process transfer functions
Fieldbus & Industrial Networking
The previous series of loop signature articles dealt with the basics of control loop optimisation, and concentrated on troubleshooting and ‘SWAG’ tuning of simple processes. In this new series, consideration will be given to dealing practically with more difficult issues like interactive processes, and with processes with much more complex dynamics.
