RUGGEDCOM RS900
Installation Guide
Introduction
The RUGGEDCOM RS900 is a nine-port utility grade, fully managed Ethernet switch specifically designed to
operate reliably in electrically harsh and climatically demanding environments.
The RUGGEDCOM RS900 provides a high level of immunity to electromagnetic interference and heavy electrical
surges typical of environments found on plant floors and curb-side traffic control cabinets. An operating
temperature range of -40 to 85 °C (-40 to 185 °F) coupled with hazardous location certification (Class I Division 2),
optional conformal coating and a galvanized steel enclosure allows the RUGGEDCOM RS900 to be placed in almost
any location.
The RUGGEDCOM RS900 can be mounted on a DIN rail or panel for efficient use of cabinet space.
The integrated power supply supports a wide range of voltages (88-300 VDC or 85-264 VAC) for worldwide
operability, as well as dual-redundant, reversible polarity, 24 VDC and 48 VDC power supply inputs for high
availability applications requiring dual or backup power inputs.
The RUGGEDCOM RS900's superior ruggedized design and embedded RUGGEDCOM Rugged Operating System
(ROS) provides superior system reliability and advanced networking features making it ideally suited for creating
Ethernet networks for mission-critical, real-time, control applications.
