Network and Power Connections
The following is a brief summary of available powering and networking
options:
Usage Option Description
Single EX5210R– not
connected to a
network
EX5210R can be used as standalone device that
functions independently without any network
connection. In this case, you only need to connect the
Exciter to the power supply.
Using the AeroScout Engine Manager (AEM), set the
device as “not connected to the network."
Single EX5210R–
connected to a
network
EX5210R can be remotely controlled (for configuration
and monitoring purposes) via the local area network. In
this case, you need to connect it to both a power source
and the network.
The power can be provided either via the LAN/ PoE
connector, or via the dedicated power supply
connection, using 24-48VDC.
Chained Exciter In case of a Chained Exciter, the Primary Exciter controls
the Chained Exciter over RS485 communication.
An external power supply can be used to power up to
two Exciters. In case external power is used, every
second Exciter needs to be powered (#1 in the chain, #3,
#5, #7).
In case PoE is used (either via a PoE switch or PoE
injector), two EX-5210R can be powered from one PoE
port.
