Introduction; Feature Highlights - Siemens SIMATIC NET RUGGEDCOM RS900GP Installation Manual

Introduction

The RUGGEDCOM RS900GP is an industrially hardened, fully managed Ethernet
switch providing dual fiber optical Gigabit Ethernet ports and eight Fast Ethernet
copper ports, each capable of supplying high power 802.3at compliant Power over
Ethernet (PoE).
Designed to operate reliably in harsh industrial environments, the RUGGEDCOM
RS900GP provides a high level of immunity to electromagnetic interference and
heavy electrical surges typical of environments found in electric utility substations,
factory floors or in curb side traffic control cabinets. An operating temperature range
of -40 to 85 °C (-40 to 185 °F) coupled with optional conformal coating and a powder
coated aluminum enclosure allows the RUGGEDCOM RS900GP to be placed in almost
any location.
The embedded RUGGEDCOM RS900GP (Rugged Operating System) provides
advanced networking features such as Enhanced Rapid Spanning Tree (eRSTP), Port
Rate Limiting and a full array of intelligent functionality for high network availability
and manageability.
