Siemens recommends using RUGGEDCOM industrial Ethernet shielded cables for all Ethernet 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.
Introduction 1.5.1 Supported fiber optic cables 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.
Installing the Device This chapter 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.
This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Attempted service by unauthorized personnel shall render all warranties null and void. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Siemens Canada Ltd. could invalidate specifications, test results, and agency approvals, and void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
Installing the Device 2.3 Mounting the Device Note If any item is missing or damaged, contact Siemens for assistance. Mounting the Device The RUGGEDCOM M969 is designed to be mounted on a panel by affixing the top and bottom flanges of the device to a panel using screws.
Installing the Device 2.4 Connecting the Failsafe Alarm Relay Flange Figure 2.1 Panel Mounting (Typical) Install the supplied screws to secure the flanges to the panel. Connecting the Failsafe Alarm Relay The Failsafe output relay is provided to signal critical error conditions that may occur on the RUGGEDCOM M969 series switches.
Installing the Device 2.5 Connecting Power The proper relay connections are as follows: Description Normally Closed Common Normally Open Figure 2.2 Failsafe Alarm Relay Wiring Connecting Power The M23 power connector has five terminal pins, which means two power supply sources are allowed to power the RUGGEDCOM M969 with the M23 power connector.
Installing the Device 2.5.2 Power Supply Wiring Terminal # Description Usage bus for DC inputs. This terminal is connected to chassis ground internally. An additional chassis ground screw is also present that connects chassis ground to both power supply surge grounds via a removable jumper.
