Introduction
1
The RUGGEDCOM RUGGEDCOM RS8000T provides substation hardened, fully
managed, Ethernet switches specifically designed to operate reliably in electrically
and environmentally harsh environments.
The RUGGEDCOM RS8000T model 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 RS8000T to be placed in almost
any location.
The RUGGEDCOM RS8000T provides a wide range of power supply options suitable
for multiple industries and for worldwide operability. Options include 24 VDC, 48
VDC, and HI (88-300 VDC or 85-264 VAC)
The RUGGEDCOM RS8000T 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 RS8000T’s superior ruggedized design coupled with the Rugged
Operating System (ROS) provides improved system reliability and advanced
networking features making it ideally suited for creating Ethernet networks for
mission-critical, real-time control applications.
