Recycling and disposal must be done in accordance with local regulations. Cabling Recommendations Siemens recommends using SIMATIC NET industrial Ethernet shielded cables for all Ethernet ports. RUGGEDCOM RX1512 Installation Manual, 04/2021, C79000-G8976-1057-20...
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 AG could invalidate specifications, test results, and agency approvals, and void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
2.3 Mounting the Device Verify all items are included. Note If any item is missing or damaged, contact Siemens for assistance. Mounting the Device The RUGGEDCOM RX1512 is designed for maximum mounting and display flexibility. It can be equipped with connectors that allow it to be installed in a 35 mm (1.4 in) DIN rail, or directly on a panel.
Installing the Device 2.3.2 Mounting the Device to a Panel To mount the device to a DIN rail, do the following: Align the adapters with the DIN rails and slide the device into place. Panel/DIN Rail Adapter DIN Rail Screw Figure 2.1 DIN Rail Mounting Install one of the supplied screws on either side of the device to secure the adapters to the DIN rails.
Installing the Device 2.4 Connecting the Failsafe Alarm Relay To mount the device to a panel, do the following: Place the device against the panel and mark the mounting holes on the panel. Screw Panel/DIN Rail Adapter Figure 2.2 Panel Mounting Prepare the mounting holes Align the device with the mounting holes and secure it to the panel.
Installing the Device 2.5 Connecting Power Normally Closed Common Normally Open Figure 2.3 Failsafe Alarm Relay Wiring Connecting Power The RUGGEDCOM RX1512 supports a single low DC power source. DANGER Electrocution hazard – risk of serious personal injury or death Make sure all power sources are off before servicing the power module terminals. Make sure the power source is off before servicing the power terminal.
Installing the Device 2.5.1 Connecting Low DC Power 2.5.1 Connecting Low DC Power To connect a low DC power supply to the device, do the following: NOTICE Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment Do not connect AC power cables to a 12, 24 or 48 VDC power supply terminal block.
