A power priority scheme selects power from the M12 connector over PoE and PoE over USB-C to ensure the device consumes the least restrictive power source. Changes to the power source trigger a reboot. This acts as a power budget for the device, dynamically allocating power to prevent an overload condition. Allocation is based on sensor type and enabled features such as Ethernet PHYs, digital outputs, and advertised USB Type C port current. Models with internal illumination reduce illumination intensity or duration to operate within budget and may disable internal illumination entirely if necessary.
Develop jobs with power sources and auxiliary equipment that are representative of the final intended configuration to prevent a mismatch during deployment.
