Introduction; Feature Highlights - Siemens SIMATIC NET RUGGEDCOM RS969 Equipment Manual

Introduction

The RUGGEDCOM RS969 is an industrially hardened, fully managed Ethernet switch
providing dual fiber optical Fast Ethernet or Gigabit ports and eight Fast Ethernet
copper ports.
Designed to operate reliably in harsh industrial environments the RUGGEDCOM
RS969 provides a high level of immunity to electromagnetic interference and heavy
electrical surges typical of environments found in electric utility substations, factory
floors or in curb side traffic control cabinets. An operating temperature range of -40
to 85 °C (40 to 185 °F) allows the RUGGEDCOM RS969 to be placed in virtually any
location.
The embedded RUGGEDCOM Rugged Operating System (ROS) provides advanced
networking features such as Enhanced Rapid Spanning Tree (eRSTP), Port Rate
Limiting and a full array of intelligent functionality for high network availability and
manageability.
