Please refer to FIG. 2, the power supply backbone device 1 of the first embodiment is mainly used for systems that require simultaneous power and data transmission (generally systems that are constructed with Ethernet power supply, such as monitoring systems), especially The power supply backbone device 1 can be regarded as a signal transmission node in this system, so as to supply power to other devices in the system and to transmit control commands or data. In detail, taking the application in a monitoring system as an example, as shown in FIG. 2, for two serially connected power supply backbone devices 1 (hereinafter referred to as a first-level power supply backbone device 1a and a second-level power supply backbone device 1b) It can be divided into the following two parts according to the data signal transmission and power signal transmission.

Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 together. For the transmission of data signals, the first-stage power supply backbone device 1a can obtain control commands from the external local area network LAN through the signal transmission port 17 and use the data switch 13 to send the control commands It is transmitted to a camera D1 through the power supply chip 15 and another signal transmission port 17, or the control command is transmitted to the second-level power supply backbone device 1b through the power supply chip 15 and the power backbone output port 16 through the data switch 13. Conversely, the image data obtained by the camera D1 can be transmitted to the data switch 13 through the other signal transmission port 17 and the power supply chip 15 or the image data to be uploaded by the second-level power supply backbone device 1b can also be transmitted through the power backbone The output port 16 and the power supply chip 15 are transmitted to the data switch 13, and then the data switch 13 is output from the first-stage power supply backbone device 1a through the signal transmission port 17 connected to the local area network LAN. In other words, in this operation example, the first data signal refers to the control commands and image data transmitted by the power backbone input port 11 and the power receiving chip 12, and the second data signal refers to the output from the power supply chip 15 and the power backbone The control command and image data transmitted by the port 16 and the third data signal refer to the signal transmission port 17 connected to the camera D1 and the control command and image data transmitted by the camera D1. In addition, for the second-level power supply backbone device 1b, it is connected to the power backbone output port 16 of the first-level power supply backbone device 1a through its own power backbone input port 11 and RJ45 connection line, so the second-level power supply backbone device 1b is that its power backbone input port 11 receives control commands, which is different from the first-level power supply backbone device 1a receiving control commands through a signal transmission port 17 connected to a local area network LAN.

For the transmission of power signals, the first-stage power supply backbone device 1a can obtain DC power from an external DC power source through the power receiving port 18, and convert the DC power by the power converter 14 through the power supply chip 15 and a The signal transmission port 17 is transmitted to the camera D1 (the transmitted power is the aforementioned third power signal), or the DC power is converted by the power converter 14 and then transmitted to another end device D2 (the The transmitted power also belongs to the aforementioned third power signal), or the DC power can be transmitted by the power converter 14 to the second-level power supply backbone device 1b (ie, the second power signal) through the power supply chip 15 and the power backbone output port 16 ). The second power signal output by the first-level power supply backbone device 1a is the remaining power after the DC power is supplied to the first-level power supply backbone device 1a and the third power signal. In addition, for the second-level power supply backbone device 1b, it is connected to the power backbone output port 16 of the first-level power supply backbone device 1a through its own power backbone input port 11 and RJ45 connection line, so the second-level power supply backbone The device 1b receives power (ie, the first power signal) from the first-stage power supply backbone device 1a through its power backbone input port 11 for operation.

It can be deduced from this that when the power supply backbone system of FIG. 3 is assembled by connecting multiple power supply backbone devices 1 in series, only a single DC power source needs to be provided in the installation environment. The power receiving port 18 is connected to a DC power source and at least 5 cameras D1 are installed.
