Introduction
1
The RUGGEDCOM RS900 is a 9-port utility-grade, fully managed Ethernet switch
specifically designed to operate reliably in electrically harsh and climatically
demanding environments.
The RUGGEDCOM RS900 provides a high level of immunity to electromagnetic
interference and heavy electrical surges typical of environments found on plant
floors and curb-side traffic control cabinets. An operating temperature range of
-40 to 85 °C (-40 to 185 °F) coupled with hazardous location certification (Class I
Division 2), optional conformal coating and a galvanized steel enclosure allows the
RUGGEDCOM RS900 to be placed in almost any location.
The RUGGEDCOM RS900 can be mounted on a DIN rail or panel for efficient use of
cabinet space.
The integrated power supply supports a wide range of voltages (88-300 VDC or
85-264 VAC) for worldwide operability, as well as dual-redundant, reversible polarity,
24 VDC and 48 VDC power supply inputs for high availability applications requiring
dual or backup power inputs.
The RUGGEDCOM RS900 's superior ruggedized design and embedded RUGGEDCOM
Rugged Operating System (ROS) provides superior system reliability and advanced
networking features making it ideally suited for creating Ethernet networks for
mission-critical, real-time, control applications.
