RUGGEDCOM RS900GP Chapter 2 Installation Guide Installing the Device Installing the Device The following sections describe how to install the device, including mounting the device, installing/removing modules, 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 2.1.1 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.
Section 2.1.2 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. Mounting the Device to a Panel...
2. Panel Adapter Install #6 screws (not supplied) to secure the adapters to the panel. Section 2.2 Connecting Power The RUGGEDCOM RS900GP features a single, integrated low DC power supply, which accepts dual power supply inputs for redundancy. Connecting Power...
135 W Section 2.2.2 Connecting Low DC Power The RUGGEDCOM RS900GP features a single low DC power supply, which accepts input one or more DC power sources. The use of both power supply inputs is recommended to provide redundancy. IMPORTANT! For Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) support, make sure the external power supply meets the requirements.
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.
Section 2.6 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.

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 RS900GP features eight standard 10/100Base-TX copper RJ-45 Ethernet ports capable of Power-over-Ethernet (PoE). It can also be equipped with two additional Gigabit Ethernet capable ports, for which many fiber transceiver and copper options are available.
Section 3.2 Copper Ethernet Ports The RUGGEDCOM RS900GP features eight 10/100Base-TX Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) ports in ports 1 to 8. All PoE ports are powered by an external power supply and feature the ability to automatically enable/disable power when PoE-capable devices are connected or removed.
RUGGEDCOM RS900GP Chapter 3 Installation Guide Communication Ports Section 3.2.1 Copper PoE Ports Each 10/100Base-TX copper Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) port is IEEE 802.3at compliant and features the ability to automatically enable/disable power when PoE-capable devices are connected or removed. Power Budget The total allowable power budget for all PoE ports is 240 W.

RUGGEDCOM RS900GP Chapter 3 Installation Guide Communication Ports CAUTION! Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment. Make sure all electrostatic energy is dissipated before performing installing or removing components from the device. An electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to the component once it is outside the chassis.
