RUGGEDCOM RS900
Installation Guide
Introduction
The RUGGEDCOM RS900 is a nine-port industrially hardened, fully managed, Ethernet switch specifically
designed to operate reliably in electrically harsh and climatically demanding environments.
The RS900 provides a high level of immunity to electromagnetic interference and heavy electrical surges typical
of environments found on plant floors or in curb side traffic control cabinets. An operating temperature range of
-40 to 85 °C (-40 to 185 °F) coupled with hazardous location certification (Class 1 Division 2) allows the RS900 to
be placed in almost any location.
The RS900 is packaged in a compact, galvanized steel enclosure that allows either DIN or panel mounting for
efficient use of cabinet space. The RS900 provides an integrated power supply with a wide range of voltages
(88-300 VDC or 85-264 VAC) for worldwide operability or dual-redundant, reversible polarity, 24 VDC and 48
VDC power supply inputs for high availability applications requiring dual or backup power inputs.
The RS900's superior ruggedized design coupled with the embedded 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.

Section 2.2
Connecting Power
The RS900 supports a single integrated high AC/DC or low DC power supply
IMPORTANT!
• For 110/230 VAC rated equipment, an appropriately rated AC circuit breaker must be installed.
• For 125/250 VDC rated equipment, an appropriately rated DC circuit breaker must be installed.
• Use only #16 gage copper wiring when connecting terminal blocks.
• Equipment must be installed according to applicable local wiring codes and standards.
• All line-to-ground transient energy is shunted to the Surge Ground terminal. In cases where users
require the inputs to be isolated from ground, remove the ground braid between Surge and Chassis
Ground. Note that all line-to-ground transient protection circuitry will be disabled.

Installing the Device
IMPORTANT!
Use only #16 gage copper wiring when connecting terminal blocks.
The following sections describe how to connect power to the device:
• Section 2.2.1, “Connecting High AC/DC Power”
• Section 2.2.2, “Connecting Low DC Power”
Section 2.2.1
Connecting High AC/DC Power
To connect a high AC/DC power supply to the device, do the following:
CAUTION!
Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment. Do not connect AC power cables to terminals for DC
power. Damage to the power supply may occur.
CAUTION!
Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment. Before testing the dielectric strength (HIPOT) in the
field, remove the braided ground cable connected to the surge ground terminal and chassis ground.
This cable connects transient suppression circuitry to chassis ground and must be removed in order to
avoid damage to transient suppression circuitry during testing.
RUGGEDCOM RS900
Installation Guide
1.Connect the positive wire from the power source to the positive/live (+/L) terminal on the terminal block.
2.Connect the negative wire from the power source to the negative/neutral (-/N) terminal on the terminal block.
3.Using a braided wire or other appropriate grounding wire, connect the surge ground terminal to the chassis
ground connection. The surge ground terminal is used as the ground conductor for all surge and transient
suppression circuitry internal to the unit.
4.Connect the ground terminal on the power source to the chassis ground terminal on the device.
Section 2.2.2
Connecting Low DC Power
The device supports a single low DC power supply with dual power supply inputs. The use of both power supply
inputs is recommended to provide redundancy and load balancing.
To connect a low DC power supply to the device, do the following:
1.Connect the positive wire from the power source to the positive terminal on the terminal block.

Installing the Device
Connecting the Failsafe Alarm Relay
The failsafe relay can be configured to latch based on alarm conditions. The NO (Normally Open) contact is
closed when the unit is powered and there are no active alarms. If the device is not powered or if an active alarm
is configured, the relay opens the NO contact and closes the NC (Normally Closed) contact.
NOTE
Control of the failsafe relay output is configurable through ROS. One common application for this relay
is to signal an alarm if a power failure occurs. For more information, refer to the ROS User Guide for
the RS900.
Chapter 2
The following shows the proper relay connections.

and Web interfaces via the device's IP address. For more information about available ports, refer to Chapter 3,
Communication Ports.
Section 2.5
Cabling Recommendations
Siemens does not recommend the use of copper cabling of any length for critical, real-time substation automation
applications. All copper Ethernet ports on RUGGEDCOM products include transient suppression circuitry
to protect against damage from electrical transients and conform with IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 Class 1
standards. This means that during a transient electrical event, communications errors or interruptions may occur,
but recovery is automatic.
Siemens also does not recommend using copper Ethernet ports to interface with devices in the field across
distances that could produce high levels of ground potential rise (i.e. greater than 2500 V), during line-to-ground
fault conditions.

Communication Ports
The RS900 can be equipped with various types of communication ports to enhance its abilities and performance.
To determine which ports are equipped on the device, refer to the factory data file available through ROS. For
more information on how to access the factory data file, refer to the ROS User Guide for the RS900.
Each communication port type has a specific place in the RS900 chassis.

Copper Ethernet Ports
The RS900 supports several 10/100Base-TX Ethernet ports that allow connection to standard Category 5
(CAT-5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables with RJ45 male connectors. The RJ45 receptacles are directly
connected to the chassis ground on the device and can accept CAT-5 shielded twisted-pair (STP) cables.

WARNING!
Electric shock hazard – risk of serious personal injury and/or equipment interference. If shielded
cables are used, make sure the shielded cables do not form a ground loop via the shield wire and the
RJ45 receptacles at either end. Ground loops can cause excessive noise and interference, but more
importantly, create a potential shock hazard that can result in serious injury.
