Introduction
Feature Highlights 1
Introduction
The RUGGEDCOM is a compact, fully managed Ethernet switch designed to operate reliably in harsh industrial
environments. The flexibility of the allows the user to choose from managed or unmanaged, regular or extended
temperature, fiber optical or copper interfaces, and fast or Gigabit Ethernet. With up to nine Ethernet ports, the is
the perfect choice for a wide variety of demanding industrial environments such as those found in process control
applications (oil and gas, petro-chemical, metals and mining, wind farms).
The is packaged in a compact, die cast aluminum, DIN mountable enclosure for efficient use of cabinet space.
Dual 24 VDC power inputs increase reliability in case of primary power supply faults. The i800 provides a high
level of immunity to electromagnetic interference and heavy electrical surges typical of environments found in
industrial applications. An operating temperature range of -20 to 60 °C (-4 to 140 °F) or optionally -40 to 85 °C
(-40 to 185 °F), coupled with hazardous location certification (Class 1 Division 2) allows the to be placed in almost
any location.
The features a full array of intelligent functionality for high network availability and manageability. The embedded
Rugged Operating System (ROS) provides advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 networking functions, and advanced
cyber security features. The Enhanced Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (eRSTP) provides very fast network
recovery in case of failures, guaranteeing a high availability network, and allows any topology from ring to mesh.
Numerous other features like VLANs and QoS make the an enterprise class switch in an industrial class package.

8 Connecting the Failsafe Alarm Relay (If Equipped)
Section 2.3
Connecting the Failsafe Alarm Relay (If Equipped)
The failsafe relay can be configured to latch based on alarm conditions. The NO (Normally Open) contact is
closed when the unit is powered and there are no active alarms. If the device is not powered or if an active alarm
is configured, the relay opens the NO contact and closes the NC (Normally Closed) contact.
NOTE
Control of the failsafe relay output is configurable through ROS. One common application for this relay
is to signal an alarm if a power failure occurs. For more information, refer to the ROS User Guide for
the i803.
The following shows the proper relay connections.
