As discussed in today’s PDCC call, here is the initial markup of the NSPS definition. I’ve annotated with strikethrough and underline to show the changes and put my comments in (parenthesis). Since this is messy, I’ve
pasted a clean final version at the bottom. recall we stated that the definition should: “what qualifies to turn it on, what qualifies to keep it going, what qualifies to turn it off. Then list what it doesn’t operate into.” I’m not coming up with things to
state in the what it doesn’t do part. Looking for suggestions.
Non-Static Power Source (NSPS)
A PSE that is only capable of outputting maximum rated power when connected to a qualified load,
where the PSE actively qualifies the load. An NSPS has the following characteristics:
-
The PSE maximum rated output
voltage power is not available into an open circuit -
The PSE is limited to ES1, PS1 into an open circuit or a non-qualified load
-
The PSE maximum rated output power (voltage and/or current) is not available when connected to a resistive or non-capacitive load. (deleted this because of the qualified load statemen, no longer needed). -
The PSE requires a specific load (e.g. electronically encoded ID), protocol,
and/or software to enable the PSE rated output power
(voltage and/or current). -
The PSE sends periodic voltage pulses to check for valid PD impedance signature before enabling rated output power (voltage and/or current). (covered by qualified load). -
The PSE is capable of producing different output power (voltage and/or current) ranges dependent on the
PD connected, in accordance with communication power specification. (don’t see this as important to the concept. most important is detection of the PD before applying power. having different classes of PDs isn’t paramount, just an added bonus).
-
The PSE requires handshaking/negotiation between the PSE and
PD before DC output power is made available by the PSE. (covered by qualified load). -
The PSE supports intelligent fault managed technologies. (also covered by qualified load). -
The PSE removes maximum rated power when the qualified load is removed
-
The PSE returns to the non-powered state when in fault
-
Special test equipment
may will be needed to enable the PSE output
or induce faults.
An NSPS does not:
