Installation Guide

Introduction

The RUGGEDCOM RS8000H provides substation hardened, fully managed, Ethernet switches specifically
designed to operate reliably in electrically and environmentally harsh environments.
The RS8000H model provides IEEE 1613 Class 2 error-free communications performance under EMI stress.
An operating temperature range of -40 to 85 °C (-40 to 185 °F) allows the RS8000H to be placed in almost any
location.
The RS8000H provides a wide range of power supply options suitable for multiple industries and for worldwide
operability. Options include 24 VDC, 48 VDC, and HI (88-300 VDC or 85-264 VAC)
The RS8000H offers advanced Layer 2 and 3 networking features and network management via the Rugged
Operating System (ROS). A unique feature of ROS is the performance of its IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree
Protocol (RSTP) used for implementing fault tolerant ring and mesh network architectures. The protocol has been
optimized to support ring sizes of up to 160 switches and fault recovery times in the order of less than 5 ms per
switch.
The RS8000H's superior ruggedized design coupled with the Rugged Operating System (ROS) provides
improved system reliability and advanced networking features making it ideally suited for creating Ethernet
networks for mission-critical, real-time control applications.
