Each digital input is associated with an alarm that is configured in RUGGEDCOM RSG920P.
Installing the Device 2.7 Connecting Power Note For technical specifications related to the digital input ports, refer to "Digital Input Specifications" (Page 32). To connect a digital input, do the following: Secure a European-style terminal block (or Euroblock) to the terminal. Connect the positive cable to the DI1/2+ terminal.
Installing the Device 2.7.1 Connecting High AC/DC Power • Use minimum #16 gage copper wiring when connecting terminal blocks 2.7.1 Connecting High AC/DC Power To connect a high AC/DC power supply to the device, do the following: NOTICE Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment Do not connect AC power cables to terminals for DC power.
Installing the Device 2.7.2 Connecting Low DC Power 2.7.2 Connecting Low DC Power To connect a single or dual power sources to the low DC power supply, do the following: NOTICE When connecting two external power sources, if the first external power source has a voltage lower than 33 VDC, the second power source must have a voltage lower than 33 VDC as well.
For IEC 61850 compliance, use an IEC 61850 compliant PoE power supply with power cabling no longer than 3 m (118 in). Otherwise, Siemens recommends using the RUGGEDCOM RPS1300 switch-mode AC power supply. For more information about this power supply, refer to https:// support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109478699.
