2.4. Power Supply
The EAD 02 has In-built Power supply with 230VAC Power Input. Typically, the unit
consumes around 250mA with the 10BaseT Ethernet interface activated.
3. Network Protocols
The EAD 02 uses TCP/IP protocols for network communication. The supported standards
are: ARP, UDP, TCP, ICMP, Telnet, TFTP and SNMP. For transparent connections,
TCP/IP (binary stream) or Telnet protocols are used. Firmware updates can be done with
the TFTP protocol.
The IP protocol defines addressing, routing and data block handling over the network.
The TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) assures that no data is lost or duplicated, and
that everything sent into the connection on one side arrives at the target exactly as it was
sent.
For typical Datagram applications where devices interact with others without maintaining
a point to point connection, UDP is used (customer specific versions and “Datagram”
mode).
3.1. Packing Algorithm
The two available packet algorithms (which define how and when packets are sent to the
network) are software selectable on a per-channel base. The standard algorithm is
optimized for applications where EAD 02 is used in a local environment, allowing for
