Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Siemens AG could invalidate specifications, test results, and agency approvals, and void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
Visually inspect each item in the package for any physical damage. Verify all items are included. IMPORTANT If any item is missing or damaged, contact Siemens for assistance. Mounting the Device The RUGGEDCOM RS400 is designed for maximum mounting and display flexibility. It can be equipped with connectors that allow it to be installed in a rack, on a DIN rail, or directly on a panel.
Installing the Device 2.3.1 Mounting the Device on a DIN Rail Forced airflow is not required. However, any increase in airflow will result in a reduction of ambient temperature and improve the long-term reliability of all equipment mounted in the rack space. Note For detailed dimensions of the device with either rack, DIN rail or panel hardware installed, refer to...
Installing the Device 2.3.2 Mounting the Device to a Rack Removing the Device To remove the device from a DIN rail, do the following: Loosen or remove the #8-32 lock screws on both sides of the device. Panel/DIN Rail Adapter DIN Rail Screw Figure 2.2 Removing the Device from a DIN Rail...
Installing the Device 2.3.3 Mounting the Device to a Panel Make sure the rack mount adapters are installed on the correct side of the chassis. Note The chassis features multiple mounting holes, allowing the rack mount adapters to be installed up to 25 mm (1 in) from the face of the device. Rear Front Rack Mount Adaptor...
Installing the Device 2.4 Connecting the Failsafe Alarm Relay To mount the device to a panel, do the following: Place the device against the panel and align the adapters with the mounting holes. Screw Panel/DIN Rail Adaptor Figure 2.4 Panel Mounting Secure the device to the panel using four #6-32 screws. Connecting the Failsafe Alarm Relay The failsafe relay can be configured to latch based on alarm conditions.
Installing the Device 2.5 Grounding the Device Normally Closed Common Normally Open Figure 2.5 Failsafe Alarm Relay Wiring Grounding the Device The RUGGEDCOM RS400 chassis ground terminal uses a #6-32 screw. It is recommended to terminate the ground connection with a #6 ring lug and torque it to 1.7 N·m (15 lbf·in).
Installing the Device 2.6.1 Connecting AC Power Note • For 88-300 VDC rated equipment, an appropriately rated circuit breaker must be installed. • For 100-240 VAC rated equipment, an appropriately rated circuit breaker must be installed. • Use only #16 gage copper wiring when connecting terminal blocks. •...

Device Management This section describes how to connect to and manage the device. Connecting to the Device The following describes the various methods for accessing the RUGGEDCOM RS400 console and Web interfaces on the device. For more detailed instructions, refer to the RUGGEDCOM ROS Configuration Manual for the RUGGEDCOM RS400.
Device Management 3.2 Configuring the Device Configuring the Device Once the device is installed and connected to the network, it must be configured. All configuration management is done via the RUGGEDCOM ROS interface. For more information about configuring the device, refer to the RUGGEDCOM ROS Configuration Manual associated with the installed software release.
Communication Ports The RUGGEDCOM RS400 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 RUGGEDCOM RS400 . For more information on how to access the factory data file, refer to the RUGGEDCOM ROS Configuration Manual for the RUGGEDCOM RS400.
Communication Ports 4.2 Fiber Optic Ethernet Ports 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.
