Section 2.5, “Connecting to the Device” Communication Ports Receive and transmit data, as well as provide access to the RUGGEDCOM ROS Web interface. For more information about the various ports available for the RUGGEDCOM RS910, refer to Chapter 3, Communication Ports Failsafe Alarm Relay Latches to default state when a power disruption or other alarm condition occurs.
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.
Section 2.2 Mounting the Device The RUGGEDCOM RS910 is designed for maximum mounting and display flexibility. It can be equipped with adapters that allow it to be installed on a 35 mm (1.4 in) DIN rail or affixed to a panel.
Mounting the Device to a Panel For panel installations, the RUGGEDCOM RS910 can be equipped with panel adapters pre-installed on the top and bottom of the chassis. The adapters allow the device to be attached to a panel using screws.
Secure the adapters to the panel with #6-32 screws. Section 2.3 Connecting Power The RUGGEDCOM RS910 supports power input from a single high AC/DC or low DC power supply. IMPORTANT! • For 110/230 VAC rated equipment, an appropriately rated AC circuit breaker must be installed.
RUGGEDCOM RS910 Chapter 2 Installation Guide Installing the Device • Section 2.3.2, “Connecting Low DC Power” Section 2.3.1 Connecting High AC/DC Power To connect a high AC/DC power supply to the device, do the following: CAUTION! Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment. Do not connect AC power cables to terminals for DC power.
Section 2.3.2 Connecting Low DC Power RUGGEDCOM RS910's equipped with 24 or 48 V power supply inputs feature reverse polarity protection and dual power supply inputs allowing the device to accept redundant connections to a single DC power supply. To connect a low DC power supply to the device, do the following: NOTE Torque all terminal connections to 0.6 N·m (5 lbf-in).
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 RUGGEDCOM RS910. The following shows the proper relay connections.
Connecting to the Device The following describes the various methods for accessing the ROS console and Web interfaces on the device. For more detailed instructions, refer to the ROS User Guide for the RUGGEDCOM RS910. IMPORTANT! Ethernet cables should be only be connected/disconnected in a non-hazardous area, or when the device is not energized.
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.

Chapter 3 RUGGEDCOM RS910 Communication Ports Installation Guide WARNING! Electric shock hazard – risk of serious personal injury and/or equipment interference. If shielded cables are used, make sure the shielded cables do not form a ground loop via the shield wire and the RJ-45 receptacles at either end.
RUGGEDCOM RS910 Chapter 3 Installation Guide Communication Ports Section 3.2 Fiber Optic Ethernet Ports Fiber optic Ethernet ports are available with either MTRJ (Mechanical Transfer Registered Jack), LC (Lucent Connector), SC (Standard or Subscriber Connector) or ST (Straight Tip) connectors. Make sure the Transmit (Tx) and Receive (Rx) connections of each port are properly connected and matched to establish a proper link.
Installation Guide Section 3.3 Serial Ports The RUGGEDCOM RS910 supports DB9, RJ-45 and ST (Straight Tip) fiber serial ports, all of which can be run in RS232, RS485 or RS422 mode. NOTE On power-up, all serial ports default to RS485 mode. Each port can be individually set to RS232, RS485 or RS422 mode through RUGGEDCOM ROS.
