Re: [802.3_RTPGE] Fw: [802.3_RTPGE] PoE ad hoc - new information
Dave et al,
 
The requirements from Industrial Automation according 
the question list FYI:
1. Is PoE as defined in Clause 33 of the current 
standard adequate for RTPGE?
Yes, IEEE 802.3at is adequate in 
principle, some additional requirements 
exist:
  - 
  For substation automation, 
  4kV surge on signal lines without interference transmitted should be 
  supported.  
- 
  A chassis 
  ground is always available. 
- 
  The maximum length of a PoE segment is 
  100m. 
- 
  PoE channels will be treated like non-PoE 
  channels. 
- 
  A daisy-chain configuration may be 
  desirable. 
 
The EEE for industrial 
automation is done by using a higher layer protocol for Device-shut-down, not by 
switch off the power.
With that we can daisy 
chaining the power to decouple the topology from the logical grouping of devices 
that can be switched off.

Another clarification - discussion about a CFI in particular is out of 
scope in this meeting.

Subject: [802.3_RTPGE] PoE 
ad hoc - new information
All -
A couple of clarifications: the meeting this afternoon is intended to 
address all PoE topics, not just RTPGE-focused topics. The goal is to decide 
whether it makes sense to hold a new CFI to address all PoE topics, including 
RTPGE, PoE++, and any other relevant PoE topics. Please invite anyone who can 
contribute (and is present in San Diego) who is not on the RTPGE 
reflector.
The RTPGE meeting is expected to break around 2:30 today, so this PoE 
meeting will start immediately afterwards. Meet in the lobby outside Manchester 
D.
