SPROG LCC POWER-LCC Network Power Module

The power LCC allows power to be supplied to an LCC network.

It is designed to be used with an external 12V 1 Amp PSU (Power Supply Unit). We supply a suitable regulated 12V supply.

Connecting the POWER-LCC to the Network

The two RJ-45 connectors allow the LCC network to be passed through the USB-LCC whilst supplying power to the network.

The power from the PSU is split into two 500 mA fused supplies, one to each LCC network connector. In a larger network, multiple POWER-LCC may be used to satisfy the power requirements of all the nodes in 500 mA segments.

Status LEDs show when power is applied to each segment.

Some LCC nodes may need auxiliary power supplies for high-power loads. Consult the manufacturers’ documentation for details.

Nodes should declare what current they take from the LCC network supply, e.g. with a logo on the PCB (Printed Circuit Board). The example below indicates a node that presents a 50 mA load to the network. This information is used to calculate the total current required for each segment of the network.
