-This tutorial describes the connection of Unipi controllers using 802.3at PoE+ splitter. This connection is useful especially if you need to place the PLC in locations lacking a conventional ~230V socket (ie. sensor stations). This tutorial will show you how to power the Unipi over Ethernet cable while retaining local network connectivity. +<WRAP group>

 +This tutorial describes the connection of Unipi controllers using 802.3at PoE+ splitter. The splitter must be supplemented and powered by a PoE injector or any PoE switch. This connection is useful especially if you need to place the controller in locations lacking a conventional 110 / 230 V~ socket (ie. sensor stations). This tutorial will show you how to power the Unipi over Ethernet cable while retaining local network connectivity.
