Section 1.3.1
Supported Time Synchronization Sources
The following time synchronization sources are supported by the RUGGEDCOM RSG2288, with or without the
PTP card:
NTP (Network Time Protocol) is the standard for synchronizing the clocks of computer systems throughout the
Internet and is suitable for systems that require accuracies in the order of 1 ms.
IRIG-B PWM
IRIG-B time synchronization is an even older, established, inter-device time synchronization mechanism providing
accuracy in sub-milliseconds.

GPS
The Global Positioning System (GPS), as a source of accurate time, requires an external GPS antenna input to
provide accurate time signals comparable to 500 ns. The RUGGEDCOM RSG2288 can use the GPS receiver on
the PTP module to provide the time base for the system.

Installation Guide
IEEE 1588
IEEE 1588 is designed to provide networked, packet-based time synchronization between different networking
nodes (PTP devices). The RUGGEDCOM RSG2288 supports PTP v2, which is defined in the IEEE 1588-2008
standard. IEEE 1588 is designed to fill a niche not well served by either of the two older, dominant protocols,
NTP and IRIG-B. IEEE 1588 is also designed for applications that cannot bear the cost of a GPS receiver at each
node or for which GPS signals are inaccessible.
The RUGGEDCOM RSG2288 supports ordinary clock, boundary clock and transparent clock modes. An ordinary
clock can be configured as either a Grandmaster Clock (GM) or a Slave Clock (SC) within the master-slave
hierarchy.
Every Ethernet port on the RUGGEDCOM RSG2288 supports IEEE 1588. For more information, refer to
Section 1.3.3, “IEEE 1588 Support”.
Section 1.3.2
AM and TTL Outputs
The PTP card provides AM (Amplitude Modulated) and TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) outputs.
The AM OUT port supports the IRIG-B AM signal format, while the TTL OUT port supports the IRIG-B PWM
and PPS signal formats. Enabling/disabling the output ports and – in the case of TTL OUT – selecting the signal
format is controlled through the RUGGEDCOM ROS operating system.
Chapter 1
Introduction
IMPORTANT!
The input impedance of third-party AM inputs must be 100 Ω minimum.
The number of devices that can be connected to the AM OUT and TTL Out ports is dependent on the cabling
type and length, as well as the input impedances of the devices. The following simplified circuit schematic shows
the interface between an IRIG-B source and connected devices.
Figure 3: IRIG-B Simplified Circuit Schematic
1. Source 2. Cabling 3. Device
The maximum number of devices (N) that can be connected to the source is determined by checking if the source
current (IS) required to drive the connected devices is less than the maximum drive current the source can
provide, and verifying that the load voltage (VL) the connected devices see is greater than the minimum required
voltage.

Chapter 2
Installing Device
IMPORTANT!
Although it is not possible to protect the antenna from a direct lightning strike, the antenna and
connected components can be protected from secondary effects through installation location and
protection devices.
Install the antenna at least 15 meters away from and lower than any structures that attract lightning.
GPS antenna damage is usually not the result of a direct lightning strike, but due to high currents
induced by the effects of a lightning strike on a nearby structure. Siemens also recommends installing
lightning protectors in the antenna line to protect the receiver and connected devices. If a lightning
protector is installed, it is important to make sure it has a low impedance path to the ground.
NOTE
The GPS IN port provides 5 VDC at up to 10 mA to power the antenna. For best results, a total gain
of 18 dB at the antenna input is recommended, which includes the antenna gain, cable loss, lightning
protector loss, line amplifier gain and filter loss.
NOTE
For technical specifications, refer to Section 4.6, “PTP Specifications”.
1.Mount the antenna to a pole or wall in an area that provides good signal coverage and is away from any
signal noise emanating from other communications equipment. Make sure 90° of the sky is visible to the
antenna.
RUGGEDCOM RSG2288
Installation Guide
NOTE
Using any length of coaxial cable will add time delay to the GPS signal, which degrades the
accuracy of the calculated time and position. The time delay is dependent on the type of dielectric
material in the cable and ranges from 10 to 2 ns/ft. The following are examples of the day that can
be expected based on the dielectric type.

Solid Teflon (ST)1.4669.4
Air Space Teflon (AST)1.13-1.2085-90
2.Using shielded, low loss 50 Ω coaxial cables, connect the antenna to a lightning protector. Make sure the
cables are routed away from any noise sources, such as Switch-Mode Power Supplies (SMPS).

Although active GPS antennas have gain, depending on the length of the coaxial cable used, the
gain may be insufficient, in which case a line amplifier is required.
Most active antennas include filters. However, if there is a high potential for electromagnetic
interference, such as from the near field of a radio transmitter, additional antenna line filtering may
be necessary.
3.[Optional] Install one or more line amplifiers, as required.
4.If installed indoors, install a lightning arrestor at the entrance to the building and one near the RUGGEDCOM
RSG2288.
5.Connect the lightning protector to the the GPS IN port.
Section 2.4
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 RUGGEDCOM RSG2288.
The following shows the proper relay connections.

Section 2.7
Cabling Recommendations
Before connecting the device, be aware of the recommendations and considerations outlined in the following
sections:
• Section 2.7.1, “Protection On Twisted-Pair Data Ports”
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.
The IEEE 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet standard defines 1000 Mbit/s Ethernet communications over distances of up
to 100 m (328 ft) using all 4 pairs in category 5 (or higher) balanced, unshielded twisted-pair cabling. For wiring
guidelines, system designers and integrators should refer to the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA)
TIA/EIA-568-A wiring standard that characterizes minimum cabling performance specifications required for proper
Gigabit Ethernet operation. For reliable, error-free data communication, new and pre-existing communication
paths should be verified for TIA/EIA-568-A compliance.
The following table summarizes the relevant cabling standards:
Cabling Category
< 5NoNew wiring infrastructure required.
5YesVerify TIA/EIA-568-A compliance.
5eYesNo action required. New installations should be designed with Category 5e or higher.
6YesNo action required.
> 6YesConnector and wiring standards to be determined.
1000Base-
TX Compliant
Required Action
Follow these recommendations for copper data cabling in high electrical noise environments:
• Data cable lengths should be as short as possible, preferably 3 m (10 ft) in length. Copper data cables should
not be used for inter-building communications.
• Power and data cables should not be run in parallel for long distances, and should be installed in separate
conduits. Power and data cables should intersect at 90° angles when necessary to reduce inductive coupling.
• Shielded/screened cabling can be used when required. Care should be taken to avoid the creation of ground
loops with shielded cabling.

Copper Ethernet Ports
The RUGGEDCOM RSG2288 supports several 10/100/1000Base-TX Ethernet ports that allow connection to
standard Category 5 (CAT-5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables with either RJ45 male connectors. The RJ45
connectors are directly connected to the chassis ground on the device and can accept CAT-5 shielded twistedpair (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.
