Description

POE power supply system and POE power supply method

Technical Field

Background

Power over ethernet (Power Over Ethernet, abbreviated POE), also known as POE power over POE, is a technology that can transmit power and data to devices over twisted pair wires in ethernet. A complete POE power sourcing system comprises a power sourcing equipment (Power Sourcing Equipment, abbreviated PSE) and a Powered Device (PD).

POE power supply can supply power to devices such as network telephones, wireless base stations, cameras, hubs, computers and the like, and because the electronic devices which can obtain power supply by means of Ethernet can be used without an additional power socket, the time and the cost for configuring a power line can be saved at the same time, and the cost of the whole device system is relatively reduced. Therefore, POE power supply technology is widely applied to the technical fields of video monitoring, video transmission and the like.

To ensure reliability of video transmission, small-pitch encoding boxes often employ DC (Direct Current), 12V, and PSE redundancy power. However, the current standard PSE can present maximum power limitation when being matched with a small-space coding box for use, so that the small-space coding box is powered off and restarted, and video transmission is abnormally disconnected, and power expansion can be solved by reducing the resistance value of a sampling resistor in the PSE, but when external DC is 12V, the PSE works in a light load mode, the reduction of the sampling resistor can cause the load current of the PSE to be smaller than the minimum supply current, and then the PSE enters a power-off-detection classification-power supply-power-off circulation state in the light load mode, and effective redundant power supply cannot be formed.

The embodiment provides a POE power supply system. Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a POE power supply system according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 1, the POE power supply system includes: a PSE controller 10, an MCU controller 20, and a power extension module 30; wherein, the MCU controller 20 and the Sense end 113 of the PSE chip 11 in the PSE controller 10 collect the load current of the PSE controller 10 when the external PD equipment is powered on; the MCU controller 20 is electrically connected with the power expansion module 30, the power expansion module 30 comprises a control unit and a first resistor R1, and the control unit is electrically connected with the MCU controller 20, the PSE controller 10 and the first resistor R1 respectively; the control unit is used for controlling the sampling resistor Rm in the PSE controller 10 to be connected in parallel with the first resistor R1 according to a first control signal output by the MCU controller 20 when the load current is detected to be larger than a first threshold value; and controlling the parallel connection of the sampling resistor Rm and the first resistor R1 to be disconnected according to a second control signal output by the MCU controller 20 when the load current is detected to be smaller than a second threshold value.

In this embodiment, the MCU controller 20 is a logic implementation chip of the whole POE power supply system, manages the PSE controller 10, and achieves the purpose of adjusting or limiting the maximum power output by the PSE controller 10, where the PSE controller 10 is a main circuit of the PSE power supply device, and may support the standard ieee802.3at/af protocol; the MCU controller 20 may control the control unit in the power extension module 30, when detecting that the load current is greater than the first threshold, control the sampling resistor Rm in the PSE controller 10 to be connected in parallel with the first resistor R1 in the power extension module 30, and make the sampling resistor Rm connected in parallel with the first resistor R1 become a new sampling resistor Rm of the PSE controller 10, where the resistance value of the new sampling resistor Rm is smaller than the sampling resistor Rm in the PSE controller 10, so as to achieve the effect of reducing the sampling resistor Rm, and further increase the output power of the PSE controller 10.

Since the PSE controller 10 operates in the light load mode, the reduction of the sampling resistor Rm may cause the load current of the PSE controller 10 to be smaller than the minimum supply current, and thus the PSE controller 10 enters a power-down-detection-classification-power-down cycle state in the light load mode, and effective redundant power supply cannot be formed. Therefore, when the load current is detected to be smaller than the second threshold, the MCU controller 20 may control the parallel connection between the sampling resistor Rm and the first resistor R1 in the PSE controller 10 to be disconnected, so as to restore the resistance value of the sampling resistor Rm, and avoid light load turn-off of the PSE controller 10.

In the above embodiment, the MCU controller 20 is electrically connected to the Sense terminal 113 of the PSE chip 11, and may directly collect the load current of the PSE controller 10 when the external PD device is powered on from the Sense terminal 113 of the PSE chip 11, so as to detect whether the load current of the PSE controller 10 when the external PD device is powered on is greater than the first threshold or less than the second threshold.

After entering the manual mode configuration, the MCU controller 20 may read the register B of the PSE chip 11 through the I2C interface 201, determine whether the external PD device connected to the PSE chip 11 is a valid PD device, and detect and classify the external PD device connected by using the PSE controller 10, and determine the power class of the external PD device; in the case where the power class of the external PD device is compatible by the PSE controller 10, determining that the external PD device is a valid PD device; or in the event that the power class of the external PD device is not compatible by the PSE controller 10, determining that the external PD device is an inactive PD device.

After determining that the external PD device is a valid PD device, the PSE chip 11 is controlled by the MCU controller 20 to turn on power to the external PD device.

In this embodiment, the PSE controller 10 further includes a capacitor C, and the first power supply +48v is electrically connected to the Out terminal 111 of the PSE chip 11 through the capacitor C.

In this embodiment, the first port may be a positive power port, the second port may be a negative power port, and when an external PD device is connected to the RJ45 interface 40, the voltage value of the output voltage at the Gate end 112 of the PSE chip 11 is a preset voltage value, at this time, the switch module 12 controls the negative power port of the RJ45 interface 40 to be electrically connected to the ground GND, so as to control the external PD device to be electrically connected to the ground GND through the RJ45 interface 40, at this time, the power supply loop of the external PD device is turned on, and the POE power supply system completes power supply to the external PD device.

In the case where there is an external PD device connected to the RJ45 interface 40, the PSE chip 11 may detect, classify and supply power to the external PD device connected through the RJ45 interface 40 according to POE standard, where when the PSE chip 11 detects and classifies the external PD device, the PSE controller 10 may change the voltage across the external PD device by changing the output voltage of the Out terminal 111 of the PSE chip 11.

In some of these embodiments, the control unit comprises a first switching tube M1, the first switching tube M1 comprising a first control terminal, a first input terminal and a first output terminal; the first control end is electrically connected with the MCU controller 20, the first input end is electrically connected with the Sense end 113 of the PSE chip 11, and the first output end is electrically connected with the ground end GND through a first resistor R1 connected in series; the first switching tube M1 is configured to control the Sense terminal 113 of the PSE chip 11 to be connected to the first resistor R1 according to a first control signal output by the MCU controller 20, and control the Sense terminal 113 of the PSE chip 11 to be disconnected from the first resistor R1 according to a second control signal output by the MCU controller 20.

In this embodiment, the first control signal may be a high level signal output by the MCU controller 20, when the load current of the PSE controller 10 when the external PD device is powered on is greater than the first threshold, the MCU controller 20 outputs the high level signal, which may be a preset voltage value (the preset voltage value is greater than 0.7V on voltage of the first switch tube M1 and may be set to 10V), at this time, the voltage of the first control terminal of the first switch tube M1 is higher than the voltage of the first input terminal, the first switch tube M1 is turned on, the first output terminal is electrically connected to the ground terminal GND through the series connection of the first resistor R1, at this time, the Sense terminal 113 of the PSE chip 11 is connected to the first resistor R1, the sampling resistor connected in series between the Sense terminal 113 of the PSE chip 11 and the ground terminal GND is connected in parallel to the first resistor R1, the sampling resistor Rm is formed into a new sampling resistor Rm of the PSE controller 10 after the sampling resistor is connected in parallel to the first resistor R1, at this time, the new sampling resistor Rm is smaller than the resistance value of the Sense terminal 11 of the PSE chip and the ground terminal 113 of the PSE controller 10, the sampling resistor Rm is further connected in series with the PSE controller 10, and the sampling resistor Rm is further reduced.

When the load current of the PSE controller 10 when the external PD device is powered on is smaller than the second threshold, the MCU controller 20 outputs a low-level signal, the voltage value of which should be smaller than the 0.7V on voltage of the first switching tube M1, at this time, the first switching tube M1 is turned off, the connection between the Sense terminal 113 of the PSE chip 11 and the first resistor R1 is disconnected, and thus the resistance value of the sampling resistor Rm in the PSE controller 10 is recovered, and light load turn-off of the PSE controller 10 is avoided.
