Abstract

A power supply assembly for a terminal having Ethernet energy supply, includes a split device with an Ethernet energy supply connection (A 1 ) that connects to an Ethernet cable which is set up to supply energy and with an output to provide a first DC voltage (U 1 ), a logic unit coupled to the split device, a DC/DC converter coupled to the logic unit and connected to the output of the split device in a switchable manner, and a voltage (U) that supplies the terminal being provided at an output of the DC/DC converter under control of the logic unit.

Claims (21)

1. A power supply assembly for a terminal having Ethernet energy supply, comprising:

A split device with an Ethernet energy supply connection (A 1 ) that connects to an Ethernet cable which is set up to supply energy and with an output to provide a first DC voltage (U 1 ),

a logic unit coupled to the split device,

a DC/DC converter coupled to the logic unit and connected to the output of the split device in a switchable manner,

a power supply unit coupled to the logic unit, and the power supply unit having an output that provides a second DC voltage (U 2 ) and connects to the DC/DC converter in a switchable manner,

an energy store coupled between the split device and the DC/DC converter in a switchable manner,

a voltage (U) that supplies the terminal being provided at an output of the DC/DC converter under control of the logic unit,

wherein the power supply assembly operates in a first operating mode and in a second operating mode under control of the logic unit as a function of a respective value of the first and second DC voltages (U 1 , U 2 ),

wherein the power supply assembly operates in a third operating mode and in a fourth operating mode under control of the logic unit.

2. The power supply assembly according to claim 1 , wherein

the first DC voltage (U 1 ) is supplied to the DC/DC converter in the first operating mode and the voltage (U) is provided depending on the first DC voltage (U 1 ), and

the second DC voltage (U 2 ) is supplied to the DC/DC converter in the second operating mode and the voltage (U) is provided depending on the second DC voltage (U 2 ).

3. The power supply assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising DC isolation, respectively, between the split device and the DC/DC converter and between the power supply unit and the DC/DC converter.

4. The power supply assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the logic unit has a voltage comparator (V).

5. The power supply assembly according to claim 1 , wherein

the energy store connects to the output of the split device in the third operating mode to be charged with the first DC voltage (U 1 ), and

the energy store connects to the input of the DC/DC converter in the fourth operating mode in order to provide an additional voltage (U′).

6. The power supply assembly according to claim 1 , wherein a status signal (S 1 ) is provided at an output of the logic unit depending on the voltage (U).

7. The power supply assembly according to claim 2 , further comprising DC isolation, respectively, between the split device and the DC/DC converter and between the power supply unit and the DC/DC converter.

8. The power supply assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the logic unit has a voltage comparator (V).

9. The power supply assembly according to claim 3 , wherein the logic unit has a voltage comparator (V).
