RUGGEDCOM RS1600F
Installation Guide
Introduction
The RUGGEDCOM RS1600F provides substation hardened, fully managed, Ethernet switches specifically
designed to operate reliably in electrically and environmentally harsh environments.
The RS1600F's Zero-Packet-Loss™ technology provides a high level of immunity to electromagnetic interference
(EMI) and heavy electrical surges typical of environments found in electric utility substations, industrial
plant floors or in curb side traffic control cabinets. The RS1600F 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 RS1600F to be placed in almost
any location. For applications requiring high availability the RS1600F provides the option for integrated dual
redundant power supplies each capable of accommodating a wide range of input voltages for worldwide
operability. Also unique is the ability to have each power supply fed from different voltage levels and/or sources
thereby providing great flexibility in creating high availability systems.
The RS1600F 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 RS1600F's superior ruggedized design coupled with the Rugged Operating System (ROS) provides
improved system reliability, secure access management, and advanced networking features making it ideally
suited for creating Ethernet networks for mission-critical, real-time, control applications.
