Power requirements
Power Supply
Ethernet converters can be powered by external power supply. The instruction is as follows.
Loosen the screws on the terminal block
Connect power cable to Vin and GND pins
Tighten the screws on the terminal block
Power on the power supply
The input voltage should be in the range of 12 - 30V DC. Power consumption is less than 1W.
Frame Ground FG
Electronic circuits are constantly prone to electrostatic discharge ESD.
Redisage Electronics modules feature a design for the frame ground terminal block FG.
The frame ground provides a path for bypassing ESD, which provides enhanced static protection ESD abilities and ensures the module is more reliable.
Connecting FG terminal block to the earth ground will bypass the ESD disturbances outside the device so will provide a better level of protection against ESD.
Frame Ground FG connection referece drawing.
If earth ground is not availabe FG can be left floating or can be connected with power supply GND.
