M5Stack StamPLC PoE Ethernet Module W5500

The M5Stack StamPLC PoE is an Ethernet control module specifically developed for the StamPLC host, supporting Power-over-Ethernet technology. With PoE, both data transmission and power supply can be achieved through a single Ethernet cable, significantly simplifying installation. The module integrates the W5500 embedded Ethernet controller with a built-in TCP/IP protocol stack, providing eight independent hardware sockets, a 10/100M Ethernet data link layer, and physical layer. It supports common network communication methods such as UDP and TCP and connects to the network via an RJ45 Ethernet interface. Communication with the StamPLC host takes place via an SPI interface. This module is particularly suitable for scenarios with high demands on network stability and real-time capability, such as industrial automation lines, building control systems, and energy monitoring.
