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.
RUGGEDCOM RS969 Introduction Installation Guide 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.
RUGGEDCOM RS969 Chapter 1 Installation Guide Introduction Figure 3: Caps Section 1.6 Decommissioning and Disposal Proper decomissioning and disposal of this device is important to prevent malicious users from obtaining proprietary information and to protect the environment. Decommissioning This device may include sensitive, proprietary data. Before taking the device out of service, either permanently or for maintenance by a third-party, make sure it has been fully decommissioned.
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.
If any item is missing or damaged, contact Siemens for assistance. Section 2.3 Mounting the Device The RUGGEDCOM RS969 is designed to be mounted on a panel by affixing the top and bottom flanges of the device to a panel using screws. IMPORTANT! Heat generated by the device is channeled outwards from the enclosure.
Connecting the Failsafe Alarm Relay The Failsafe output relay is provided to signal critical error conditions that may occur on the RUGGEDCOM RS969 series switches. The contacts are energized upon power up of the unit and remain energized until a critical error occurs.
RUGGEDCOM RS969 with the Mini power connector. The M23 power connector has five terminal pins, which allows for two power supply sources to be connected to the RUGGEDCOM RS969 with the M23 power connector. When equipped with an M23 power connector, the RUGGEDCOM RS969 supports dual redundant power supplies: Power Supply 1 (PS1) and Power Supply 2 (PS2).
