什么是以太网供电

什么是以太网供电(PoE)？以太网供电(PoE)是一种将功率从中央交换机传输到以太网连接设备（VoIP电话、WLAN发射机、安防摄像头）的供电方法。

利用现有的CAT-5电缆，这些设备可以不需要AC供电（同时节省配线成本）。

交换机也可以对分配给用电设备(PD)的功率进行控制，这样允许对某些重要系统进行精确不间断的功率管理。

工作方式基本上，一个PoE负载或用电设备（PD）为了实现与发送端PSE（功率发送设备）的连接，要完成三个步骤，包括检测、分级及欠压锁存。

检测阶段当具有PoE功能的以太网电缆插入到一个PD设备时，PSE会询问该PD设备以确定其是否为具有PoE功能的设备。

这段时间定为检测阶段。

在检测阶段，PSE会给PD施加一个斜坡电压，用来寻找负载端是否有25 kΩ的阻抗特性。

如果没有检测到该阻抗，PSE会假定负载不是具有PoE功能的负载，从而关断PoE发送端。

此时系统以标准的以太网连接方式工作。

如果检测阶段检测到识别阻抗，PSE会继续进行到分级阶段。

阻抗识别电压是介于2.5 V和10 V之间的斜坡电压。

在检测阶段，一个24.9 kΩ的电阻可以提供恰当的识别阻抗（参见图1）。

图1. 检测阻抗分级阶段PSE给PD提供的斜坡电压继续上升。

在15 V到20 V之间，开始进行分级。

在此电压过渡期间，PD设备必须拉出规定的电流以确定其设备级别（参见图2）。

使用24.9 kΩ识别电阻可以确定其为最简单的级别（0级）。

分级电流用来确定该PD设备在正常工作期间所消耗的总功率大小。

此电流信息由PSE反馈到控制器，由系统来确定功率预算的要求。

表1列出了分级电流的大小及相应PD工作时的功率要求。

启动阶段在分级阶段之后，PSE继续将输入斜坡电压上升至30 V，此时欠压锁存(UVLO)电路解除，PD设备开始有供电。

要求有软启动电路以限制从PSE拉出的电流。

图3为典型的欠压锁存电路。

图3. 使用MOSFET导通开关的0级PoE接口电路通过这样的过程，PSE与PD协同工作，确定了负载特性并仅向具有PoE功能的设备供电。

在中心位置的系统控制器可以确定负载要求，在停电期间根据UPS电源预算及各级工作需要对功率加以分配。

Class 4 is reserved for futureuse). See DI-70 and DI-88 for implementing PD classification circuitry.Classification The PSE applies a voltage of 14.5 VDC to 20.5 VDC to the PD. The PD draws aconstant current during this voltage range to indicate its class. This current ismonitored by the PSE, which reports power level and sets sending end powerlimits accordingly. See DI-70 and DI-88 for details.Data pairs Cat-5 cable pairs that carry data and may also be used for power in a Power over Ethernet (PoE) application The data pairs are either pairs 1,2 or 3,6. For PoE bothwires in a data pair must be used.Detection This is the method (sometimes referred to as “Signature”) by which a PD indicates to the PSE that it is capable of receiving power via PoE. The PD exhibits a specificimpedance (typically 24.9 kΩ) when the PSE first applies a detection signal. Thisidentifies the PD as a PoE enabled device. See DI-70 and DI-88 for details.Detection resistor The detection function in a PD can be implemented using a single 24.9 kΩ resistor.This resistor will also draw the correct classification current from the PSE for Class0 classification.Endpoint Endpoint (or Endpoint PSE) refers to an Ethernet switch or hub which is equipped to inject PoE power onto the Ethernet cables using either of the data pairs.Endpoint PSE See Endpoint.Endspan Al though IEEE802.3af describes only “Endpoint” or “Endpoint PSE”, the term“Endspan” is in common use.
