Introduction 1
The RUGGEDCOM RSG909R is a utility-grade, fully managed Ethernet switch
featuring an integrated HSR/PRP RedBox designed for mission-critical, time-sensitive
applications (i.e IEC 61850 substations) that require zero downtime.
•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.

Introduction
1.5Cabling Recommendations
1.5 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 I 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 the Device
2.1General Procedure
NOTICE
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 Canada Ltd. could
invalidate specifications, test results, and agency approvals, and void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
NOTICE
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 General Procedure
The general procedure for installing the device is as follows:
Note
The user is responsible for the operating environment of the device, including
maintaining the integrity of all protective conductor connections and checking
equipment ratings. Make sure to review all operating and installation instructions
before commissioning or performing maintenance on the device.
1. Review the relevant certification information for any regulatory
requirements.
For more information, refer to "Approvals" (Page 35).
2. Unpack and inspect the device.
For more information, refer to "Unpacking the device" (Page 9).
3. Mount the device.
For more information, refer to "Mounting the Device" (Page 9).

2.2Unpacking the device
7. Configure the device.
For more information, refer to "Configuring the Device" (Page 26).
2.2 Unpacking the device
When unpacking the device, do the following:
1. Inspect the package for damage before opening it.
2. Visually inspect each item in the package for any physical damage.
3. Verify all items are included.
Note
If any item is missing or damaged, contact Siemens for assistance.
2.3 Mounting the Device
The RUGGEDCOM RSG909R is designed for maximum mounting and display
flexibility. It can be equipped with adapters that allow it to be attached to a DIN rail
or panel.
Note
Heat generated by the device is channeled outwards from the enclosure. As such, it
is recommended that 2.5 cm (1 in) of space be maintained on all open sides of the
device to allow for some 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.
Note
For detailed dimensions of the device with either DIN rail or panel hardware installed,
refer to "Dimension Drawings" (Page 33).
2.3.1 Mounting the Device on a DIN Rail
The RUGGEDCOM RSG909R can be ordered with a DIN rail adapter preinstalled on the
back of the chassis. Use the adapter to mount the device to a standard 35 mm (1.4
in) by 15 mm (0.6 in) IEC/EN 60715 or TS35 DIN rail.
NOTICE
DIN rail mounting is not recommended for constant vibration environments.
