Electrical Substation-Rated Managed Ethernet Switch, with

(7) 10/100T(X) + (3) Configurable 10/100/1000T(X)/100/1000FX Ports

RLGE3FE7MS4

ComNet product series RLGE3FE7MS4 is a substation-rated and indus trially hardened managed layer 2
Ethernet switch. Fully compliant with the requirement s of IEC 61850-3, IEEE 1613 Class 2, EN50155, Class1/
Division 2 (Groups A, B, C, & D for hazardous environments), and NEMA TS-1/TS-2, the DIN-rail mountable
RLGE3FE7MS4 is intended for deployment in environments where high levels of electromagnetic noise and
inter ference (EMI) and severe volt age transients and surges are routinely encountered, such as electrical
utility substations and switchyards, heavy manufac turing facilities, track-side electronic equipment, and
other severe out-of-plant installations.

The RLGE3FE7MS4 provides 7 10/100BASE-TX communications ports, with 3 user-configurable
10/100/1000BASE-TX or 100/1000BASE-FX gigabit combo uplink ports. The use of SFPs for the three (3)
gigabit uplink ports provides a truly future-proof plat form, where the uplink optics may be changed in the
field at any time, to support changes in the user’s networking or cable plant requirements as they arise.

The internal/self- contained 12 to 60 VDC or 85 to 264 VAC/88 to 370 VDC power supply features redundant
power inputs, for the highest possible reliability in those installations where network availability is of the
utmost importance.

The RLGE3FE7MS4 suppor ts multiple Ethernet redundancy protocols, including ComNet C-Ring (recovery
time < 30ms, with >250 switches integrated within the ring), and MSTP with RSTP/STP compatibility. With
its ex tremely fast recover y time, the most mission-critical applications are fully protected from network
interruptions or temporary malfunctions due to possible short or long-term faults or outages within the
network.

FEATURES

› Fully compliant with the requirements of IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 Class

2 for electrical utility substations, EN50155 for railway applications, and
NEMA TS-1/TS-2 for traffic signal control equipment

› Environmentally hardened for deployment in difficult unconditioned out-of-

plant and roadside installations

› Extended ambient operating temperature range of -40˚ C to +85˚ C, for

use in virtually any environment. Conformally coated for humidity with
condensation or airborne particulate matter conditions

› Provided HTTPS/SSH protocol enhances network security

› PTP Client for precision time protocol clock synchronization

› Rugged metal housing. DIN-rail or panel-mountable, & rated for IP-30

ingress protection

› Redundant power supply inputs significantly reduce the possibility of

Multiple AC and DC operating voltages available.

› No fans or forced-air cooling; cooling via natural convection eliminates

unreliable and troublesome fans/moving parts

› Utilizes C-Ring, the fastest redundant Ethernet ring available; Recovery

time <10 ms with 250 units within a ring. Fully compatible and
interoperable with the Moxa Turbo Ring topology using ComRing
technology, and ComNet X-Ring, Dual-Homing, Couple Ring, and Dual­Ring Topologies

› Supports ComChain, the ComNet-exclusive technology that provides add-

on network redundancy topology to any backbone network. ComChain
allows multiple redundant network rings of different redundancy protocols
to join and function together as a larger and more robust compound
network topology, while maximizing fault-recovery speed, flexibility,
compatibility, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness.

› eConsole-based Windows Utility for centralized switch and network

management

› Fault/event notification provided through Syslog, e-Mail, SNMP trap, or

relay alarm output

› DDM (Digital Diagnostic Monitoring) remotely ascertains the status of the

operating voltage, current, and operating temperature of the SFP modules
