Introduction 1
The RUGGEDCOM RS1600F provides substation hardened, fully managed, Ethernet
switches specifically designed to operate reliably in electrically and environmentally
harsh environments.
The RUGGEDCOM 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 RUGGEDCOM 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
RUGGEDCOM RS1600F to be placed in almost any location. For applications requiring
high availability the RUGGEDCOM 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 RUGGEDCOM 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 RUGGEDCOM 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.

1.3 Decommissioning and Disposal
Proper decommissioning and disposal of this device is important to prevent malicious
users from obtaining proprietary information and to protect the environment.
Decommissioning
This device may include sensitive, proprietary data. Before taking the device out of
service, either permanently or for maintenance by a third-party, make sure it has
been fully decommissioned.
For more information, refer to the associated Configuration Manual.
Recycling and Disposal
For environmentally friendly recycling and disposal of this device and related
accessories, contact a facility certified to dispose of waste electrical and electronic
equipment. Recycling and disposal must be done in accordance with local
regulations.
1.4 Cabling Recommendations
All copper Ethernet ports on RUGGEDCOM products include transient suppression
circuitry to protect against damage from electrical transients and conform with
IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 Class 1 standards. This means that during a transient
electrical event, communications errors or interruptions may occur, but recovery is
automatic.
Siemens also does not recommend using copper Ethernet ports to interface with
devices in the field across distances that could produce high levels of ground
potential rise (i.e. greater than 2500 V), during line-to-ground fault conditions.

Installing Device 2
The following sections describe how to install the device, including mounting the
device, installing/removing modules, connecting power, and connecting the device
to the network.
DANGER
Electrocution hazard – risk of serious personal injury and/or damage to
equipment
Before performing any maintenance tasks, make sure all power to the device has
been disconnected and wait approximately two minutes for any remaining energy
to dissipate.
WARNING
Radiation hazard – risk of serious personal injury
This product contains a laser system and is classified as a CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT.
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
IMPORTANT
This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Attempted service by unauthorized
personnel shall render all warranties null and void.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Siemens AG could invalidate
specifications, test results, and agency approvals, and void the user's authority to
operate the equipment.
IMPORTANT
This product should be installed in a restricted access location where access can only
be gained by authorized personnel who have been informed of the restrictions and
any precautions that must be taken. Access must only be possible through the use
of a tool, lock and key, or other means of security, and controlled by the authority
responsible for the location.
2.1 Mounting the Device
The RUGGEDCOM RS1600F is designed for maximum mounting and display
flexibility. It can be equipped with connectors that allow it to be installed in a 48 cm
(19 in) rack, 35 mm (1.4 in) DIN rail, or directly on a panel.

Installing Device
2.1.1Mounting the Device to a Rack
Note
For detailed dimensions of the device with either rack, DIN rail or panel hardware
installed, refer to "Dimension Drawings (Page 20)".
2.1.1 Mounting the Device to a Rack
For rack mount installations, the RUGGEDCOM RS1600F can be equipped with rack
mount adapters pre-installed.
Note
The chassis features multiple mounting holes, allowing the rack mount adapters to
be installed up to 25 mm (1 in) from the face of the device.
To secure the device to a standard 48 cm (19 in) rack, do the following:
1. Make sure the rack mount adapters are installed on the correct position on the
chassis.

1 Rack Mount Adapter
Figure2.1 Rack Mount Adapters
2. Insert the device into the rack.
Note
Since heat within the device is channelled to the enclosure, it is recommended
that 1 rack-unit of space, or 44 mm (1.75 in), be kept empty above the device.
This allows a small amount of convectional airflow.
Forced airflow is not required. However, any increase in airflow will result in a
reduction of ambient temperature and improve the long-term reliability of all
equipment mounted in the rack space.
3. Secure the adapters to the rack using the supplied hardware.

2.2 Connecting Power
The RUGGEDCOM RS1600F supports single or dual redundant high AC, high DC
and/or low DC power supplies. The use of two power modules is recommended to
provide redundancy and load balancing.
The RUGGEDCOM RS1600F can be equipped with either a screw-type or pluggable
terminal block, which provides power to both power supplies. The screw-type
terminal block is installed using Philips screws and compression plates, allowing
either bare wire connections or crimped terminal lugs. Use #6 size ring lugs for
secure, reliable connections under severe shock or vibration.
IMPORTANT
• For maximum redundancy in a dual power supply configuration, use two
independent power sources.

Installing Device
2.2.1Connecting AC Power
• For 100-240 VAC rated equipment, an appropriately rated AC circuit breaker
must be installed.
• For 88-300 VDC rated equipment, an appropriately rated DC circuit breaker must
be installed.
• Use minimum #16 gage wiring when connecting terminal blocks.
• A circuit breaker is not required for 12, 24 or 48 VDC rated power supplies.
• It is recommended to provide a separate circuit breaker for each power supply
module.
• Equipment must be installed according to applicable local wiring codes and
standards.
2.2.1 Connecting AC Power
To connect a high AC power supply to the device, do the following:
NOTICE
Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment
Do not connect AC power cables to a DC power supply terminal block. Damage to
the power supply may occur.
NOTICE
Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment
Before testing the dielectric strength (HIPOT) in the field, remove the braided
ground cable connected to the surge ground terminal and chassis ground. This cable
connects transient suppression circuitry to chassis ground and must be removed in
order to avoid damage to transient suppression circuitry during testing.
