Integrated PRP/HSR Solution
The HSR/PRP RedBox function allows regular Ethernet end devices to participate
in HSR or PRP networks. The device also allows an HSR network to connect to a
PRP network over the Coupler port (port 7). QuadBox functionality is available
when used in conjunction with another RUGGEDCOM RSG909R or RUGGEDCOM
RSG907R.
Removable SFP Transceivers
Ports designated for Redundant Network Access (RNA) – ports A/B and 7 – can
be customized with a wide array of Small Form-factor Portable (SFP) transceivers
offered by Siemens, making the device flexible to the needs of the redundant
network application.
Fixed Ethernet Ports
In addition to removable SFP transceivers, the device also features six standard
10/100/1000Base-TX fixed copper Ethernet ports for Local Area Network (LAN)
access.
Built for Harsh Environments
The device provides a high level of immunity to electromagnetic interference,
heavy electrical surges, extreme temperatures and humidity for reliable
operation in harsh environments.
The device features IP40 degree protection and does not use internal fans for
cooling.
The device supports an extended operating temperature range of -40 to 85 °C
(-40 to 185 °F).
Compact Design
The small form factor of the RUGGEDCOM RSG909R allows for installation in
space-limited cabinets and on DIN rails.
Dual Input Power
The device features dual power inputs to support redundant AC or DC power
sources.
RUGGEDCOM ROS
RUGGEDCOM ROS provides advanced Layer 2 networking functions and cyber
security features.
