• Complies with IEEE 802.3af, 15 W x 8 output when using 48 VDC power supplies Section 1.2 Description The RUGGEDCOM RS900GP features various ports, controls and indicator LEDs on the front panel for connecting, configuring and troubleshooting the device. Figure 1: RUGGEDCOM RS900GP 1. Fiber Optic or SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) Ethernet Ports ...
Section 2.7, “Connecting Power” • Section 5.1, “Power Supply Specifications” Section 1.3 Required Tools and Materials The following tools and materials are required to install the RUGGEDCOM RS900GP: Tools/Materials Purpose DC power cord (16 AWG) For connecting power to the device. CAT-5 Ethernet cables For connecting the device to the network.
RUGGEDCOM RS900GP Chapter 2 Installation Guide Installing the Device Installing the Device This section describes how to install the device, including mounting the device, connecting power, and connecting the device to the network. DANGER! Electrocution hazard – risk of serious personal injury and/or damage to equipment. Before performing any maintenance tasks, make sure all power to the device has been disconnected and wait approximately two minutes for any remaining energy to dissipate.
Section 2.3 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.
Section 2.4.1 Mounting the Device on a DIN Rail For DIN rail installations, the RUGGEDCOM RS900GP can be equipped with a DIN rail bracket that allows the device to be slid onto a standard 35 mm (1.4 in) DIN rail. To mount the device to a DIN rail, do the following: Secure the DIN rail bracket to the back of the device chassis.

Figure 3: DIN Rail Mounting 1. DIN Rail 2. DIN Rail Bracket Pull the release on the bracket down and slide the device onto the DIN rail. Let go of the release to lock the device in position.
Installing the Device Section 2.4.2 Mounting the Device to a Panel For panel installations, the RUGGEDCOM RS900GP can be equipped with panel adapters that allow the device to be attached to a panel in multiple orientations. Figure 4: Panel Mount Options 1. Rear Mount Orientation 2. Front Mount Orientation 3. Side Mount Orientation Secure the adapters to the device in the desired orientation.
Grounding the Device The RUGGEDCOM RS900GP chassis features a threaded hole for connecting the device to ground (Earth). It is recommended to terminate the ground connection with an M3 ring or spade lug, and then torque to 1.7 N·m (15 lbf-in).
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 RUGGEDCOM ROS User Guide for the RUGGEDCOM RS900GP. The following shows the proper relay connections.
Installation Guide Section 2.7 Connecting Power The RUGGEDCOM RS900GP features an integrated low DC power supply that accepts input from redudant power sources. Requirements for the power source(s) is dependent on the IEEE 802.3 standard required by the application: Input Range...

RUGGEDCOM RS900GP Chapter 2 Installation Guide Installing the Device CAUTION! Electrical hazard – risk of damage to the device. For Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) support, make sure the PoE power source is isolated from earth/chassis ground. Do not connect either positive or negative terminals to chassis ground.
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 RUGGEDCOM ROS User Guide for the RUGGEDCOM RS900GP. Serial Console Port Connect a PC or terminal directly to the serial console port to access the boot-time control and RUGGEDCOM ROS console interface.

Chapter 4 RUGGEDCOM RS900GP 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.
Section 4.2 PoE Ports The RUGGEDCOM RS900GP supports eight 10/100Base-TX Power over Ethernet (POE) ports (ports 1 to 8). Each port complies with the IEEE 802.3at and IEEE 802.3af standards, and feature the ability to automatically enable/ disable power when PoE-capable devices are connected or removed.

Chapter 4 RUGGEDCOM RS900GP Communication Ports Installation Guide Standard Power Budget IEEE 802.3af 135 W If the power input is less than what is required, to prevent exceeding the power budget, port priorities can be set via the RUGGEDCOM ROS operating system to disable low priority ports when demand is too high. Ports can also be enabled/disabled and placed on a power schedule to conserve power.
Specifications”. Section 4.4 SFP Transceivers The RUGGEDCOM RS900GP supports up to two Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver sockets, which are compatible with a wide array of SFP transceivers available from Siemens. LEDs Each socket features an LED that indicates its link state.
