Robust or ruggedised devices
Rugged defines devices with characteristics that give them the ability to withstand extreme conditions, such as shock, humidity, dust or vibration. Therefore, the degree of equipment ruggedness is determined by its ability to withstand these adverse conditions.
Main characteristics of a robust device:
Water and dust. The robustness of a device to be protected against these elements is measured in the IP standard, with IP67 being the maximum protection that these devices can have against dust and water.
External temperature and humidity. They can operate in temperatures between -20ºC and 70ºC or wider temperature ranges.
Vibration and shock. Designed to withstand vibration and shocks typical for vehicles or portable applications.
The following table shows the meaning of the different protection ratings (IP):
