Power over Ethernet in the Micro Motion 1600 Compact Transmitter

Jim Cahill

Power over Ethernet (PoE) enables one Ethernet cable to provide both a data connection and electric power from a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) to a Powered Device (PD) instead of having a separate cable for each. The Micro Motion 1600 Coriolis Transmitter is a Type 1 Power Class 3 PD that is compatible with Type 1 (PoE) or Type 2 (PoE+) PSE’s. I share this as background because although PoE has been around for a while…
