How should this Guide be used?
This guide is intended to be used as a reference manual.

II. OVERVIEW

The Power over Ethernet (PoE) Motor is a low-voltage powered distribution and network-connected motor that utilizes PoE technology power and control from industry-common network switches.

This motor supports both Somfy Synergy™ API and CoAP Digital Building API protocols and is compatible with Power over Ethernet Network Switches IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) Type2 (30W) or higher.

PoE motor system quantity is based on managing the number of devices on the subnet(s) available, unless specific network configurations are in place and managed by an IT Administrator.

III. SYSTEM PREPARATION

SOMFY SYSTEM

A fully operational PoE Motor system is required prior to Crestron programming.

Confirm with the Shade Commissioning Agent that the PoE Motor firmware is up to date
Confirm with the Shade Commissioning Agent that all PoE Motors and Groups are configured
An Integration Report is generated in the PoE Motor Config Tool which will include the PoE Motor IP address
Obtain the PoE Motor PIN codes from the Motor Information Labels

CRESTRON SYSTEM

A fully operational Crestron system is required prior to Crestron programming. Refer to the Integration Report for the PoE Motor IP address.

HARDWIRED TO SONESSE0 30 PoE MOTOR
• CAT-5e SF/UTP (Shielded & Foiled Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable or higher
• TIA-568B Standard with shielded RJ-45 Connectors
• Max Distance from Switch is 328′
• Shielded RJ-45 Coupler is included on the motor cable
• 7.5 in. (19 cm) pigtail using CAT-5e SF/UTP (Shielded & Foiled with Unshielded Twisted Pair) Cable is hardwired to the Somfy PoE motor with a molded, shielded RJ-45 connector

USING MOTOR LABELS

Each Somfy PoE motor is supplied with four motor information labels that should be referenced to connect to motors. The label includes a four-digit PIN code for the motor and will be used to log in to the motor. These codes will be used for the life of the product.

DO NOT DISCARD THE MOTOR INFORMATION LABELS!

One of the motor information labels should remain on the body of the motor. The other three labels should be shipped in the packaging of the motorized product, or see below for recommended locations to use the labels.

Suggested locations for the Motor Information Labels:

Finished motorized products:
Examples:
– Attached to the motor cable
– Removeable shade hem bar
– Motor cover
Inside the valance of the motorized product
Work order sheet used in project planning
Product packaging used for shipping

Example above: On motor tube

Example above: Shade hem bar

Example above: On motor cable

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Gathering and organizing motor PIN codes and motor information from the included motor labels is very important in navigating through the PoE motor graphical user interface.
