RUGGEDCOM RS8000

Installation Guide

Introduction

The RUGGEDCOM RS8000 provides substation hardened, fully managed, Ethernet switches specifically
designed to operate reliably in electrically and environmentally harsh environments.

The RS8000’s Zero-Packet-Loss technology provides a high level of immunity to electromagnetic interference
(EMI) and heavy electrical surges typical of environments found in electric utility substations, industrial plant
floors or in curb side traffic control cabinets. The RS8000 model provides IEEE 1613 Class 2 error-free
communications performance under EMI stress. An operating temperature range of -40 to 85 °C (-40 to 185 °F)
allows the RS8000 to be placed in almost any location.

The RS8000 provides a wide range of power supply options suitable for multiple industries and for worldwide
operability. Options include 24 VDC, 48 VDC, and HI (88-300 VDC or 85-264 VAC)

The RS8000 offers advanced Layer 2 and 3 networking features and network management via the Rugged
Operating System (ROS). A unique feature of ROS is the performance of its IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree
Protocol (RSTP) used for implementing fault tolerant ring and mesh network architectures. The protocol has been
optimized to support ring sizes of up to 160 switches and fault recovery times in the order of less than 5 ms per
switch.

The RS8000’s superior ruggedized design coupled with the Rugged Operating System (ROS) provides improved
system reliability and advanced networking features making it ideally suited for creating Ethernet networks for
mission-critical, real-time control applications.
