Section 2.1 Mounting the Device The RUGGEDCOM RS940G is designed for maximum mounting and display flexibility. It can be equipped with connectors that allow it to be installed in a 35 mm (1.4 in) DIN rail or directly on a panel.
Mounting the Device on a DIN Rail For DIN rail installations, the RUGGEDCOM RS940G can be equipped with a DIN rail bracket pre-installed on the back of the chassis. The bracket allows the device to be slid onto a standard 35 mm (1.4 in) DIN rail.
Ground. Note that all line-to-ground transient protection circuitry will be disabled. IMPORTANT! Siemens requires the use of external surge protection in VDSL applications where the line may be subject to surges greater than that for which the device is rated. Use the following specifications as a...
Chapter 2 RUGGEDCOM RUGGEDCOM RS940G Installing the Device Installation Guide • Clamping Voltage: 50 V to 200 V • Insertion Loss: < 0.1 dB at 10 MHz • Peak Surge Current: 10 kA, 8x20µs waveform IMPORTANT! Use only #16 gage copper wiring when connecting terminal blocks.
Connecting to the Device The following describes the various methods for accessing the ROS console and Web interfaces on the device. For more detailed instructions, refer to the ROS User Guide for the RUGGEDCOM RS940G. Serial Console Port Connect a PC or terminal directly to the serial console port to access the boot-time control and ROS console interface.
Section 2.5.1 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.
Installation Guide Installing the Device 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 Communication Ports The RUGGEDCOM RS940G 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 RUGGEDCOM RS940G.
Chapter 3 RUGGEDCOM RUGGEDCOM RS940G Communication Ports Installation Guide 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.
To install an SFP optical port, do the following: CAUTION! Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment. Use only components certified by Siemens with RUGGEDCOM products. Damage to the module and device may occur if compatibility and reliability have not been properly assessed.
Chapter 3 RUGGEDCOM RUGGEDCOM RS940G Communication Ports Installation Guide CAUTION! Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment. Make sure all electrostatic energy is dissipated before installing or removing components from the device. An electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to the component once it is outside the chassis.
