Introduction; Feature Highlights - Siemens SIMATIC NET RUGGEDCOM M969F Installation Manual

Introduction

The RUGGEDCOM M969F is a MIL-STD hardened, fully managed Ethernet switch
providing dual fiber optical Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet ports and eight Fast
Ethernet copper ports in a MIL-STD 901D rated package (for protection against
vibration and shock impacts) and is IP65/IP67 rated for protection against strong jets
of water (IP65) or temporary immersion in water (IP67).
Designed to operate reliably in harsh environments, the RUGGEDCOM M969F
provides a high level of tolerance to vibrations and shock impact; high level of
immunity to electromagnetic interference; an operating temperature range of -40 to
85 °C (40 to 185 °F); and IP65/IP67 rated waterproof packaging. All of which allows
the RUGGEDCOM M969F to be placed in virtually any location.
The embedded RUGGEDCOM Rugged Operating System (ROS) provides advanced
layer 2 and layer 3 networking functions, advanced cyber security features, and a
full array of intelligent functionality for high network availability and manageability.
Coupled with the ruggedized hardware design, the RUGGEDCOM M969F is ideal for
creating mission-critical, real-time, control applications in any harsh environment.
