RuggedServer™ RS400
4-Port Serial Device Server with Integrated 4-Port Managed Ethernet Switch
eRSTP TM
The RuggedServer™ RS400 Family is an industrially hardened, serial device server with an integrated, fully managed, Ethernet switch, designed to operate reliably in electrically harsh and climatically demanding environments. Featuring an integrated 4 port serial server, a 4 port managed Ethernet switch, and an optional v.90 modem, the RS400 is able to interconnect multiple types of intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) that have different methods of communications. Using the RS400 results in fewer connectivity devices (which reduces overall system costs) and also extends the useful life of existing legacy IEDs (which minimizes capital expenditure for new equipment).
The RS400 provides a high level of immunity to electromagnetic interference and heavy electrical surges typical of environments found in electric utility substations, factory floors or in curb side traffic control cabinets. The RS400 meets or exceeds a wide range of industry standards including IEC61850, IEEE1613, IEC61000-6-2, IEEE61800-3, and NEMA TS-2. The RS400 also features a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C allowing it to be installed in virtually any location.
The RS400 also includes an industrially rated integrated power supply that can support a wide range of power supply options suitable for multiple industries and for worldwide operability.
Options include 24VDC, 48VDC, and 88VDC - 300VDC/85VAC - 264VAC, allowing for great installation flexibility.
The embedded Rugged Operating System (ROS™) within the RS400 provides advanced layer 2 and layer 3 networking functions, advanced cyber security features, and a full array of intelligent functionality for high network availability and manageability. Coupled with the ruggedized hardware design, the RS400 is ideal for creating mission-critical, real-time, control applications in any harsh environment.
The RS400 is backed by RuggedCom’s all inclusive five year warranty and unsurpassed technical support.

RuggedServer™ RS400
4-Port Serial Device Server with Integrated 4-Port Managed Ethernet Switch
Ethernet Switch Management Features
Serial IP Encapsulation
Many 'legacy' devices (RTU, PLC, IED, etc.) only support serial communications via RS232 or RS485. ROS encapsulates the serial data within a TCP connection allowing these devices to be reached via an IP network. A wide range of baud rates, frame packetization options, and diagnostics allows any serial protocol to function. The RS400 has specific support for the following serial protocols:
. Raw Socket serial encapsulation. Modbus TCP (client and server). DNP 3
. WIN and TIN. Microlok
MODBUS TCP
The Modbus protocol is ubiquitous in the industrial control and automation world. ROS converts Modbus RTU master/slave serial data packets to Modbus TCP client/server packets for transmission over an IP network. This allows communications to Modbus RTU slaves via Ethernet and allows multiple masters to poll the same slave device.
Remote Dial-Up Access
A v.90 modem coupled with the PPP (Point to Point Protocol) allows ROS to provide dial-up access via POTS (plain old telephone system) providing connectivity to serial devices and Ethernet LAN. PAP/CHAP authentication provide security against
unauthorized access.
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE 802.1w)
RSTP allows the creation of fault-tolerant ring and mesh Ethernet networks that incorporate redundant links that are 'pruned' to prevent loops. The ROS optimized version of RSTP yields worst-case failovers of 5ms times the 'bridge diameter' and allows rings of up to 80 switches. For example, a ring of ten switches will have failover times under 50ms. ROS implements both STP and RSTP to ensure interoperability with commercial switches
unlike other proprietary 'ring' based solutions.
Quality of Service (IEEE 802.1p)
Some networking applications such as real-time control or VoIP (voice over IP) require predictable arrival times for Ethernet frames. Switches can introduce latency in times of heavy network traffic due to the internal queues that buffer frames and than transmit on a first come first serve basis. ROS supports 'Class of Service' in accordance
with IEEE 802.1p that allows time critical
traffic to jump ahead to the front of the queue thus minimizing latency and reducing jitter to allow such demanding applications to operate correctly. ROS allows priority classification by port, tags, MAC address, and IP type of service (TOS). A configurable "weighted fair queuing" algorithm controls how frames are emptied from the queues.
VLAN (IEEE 802.1q)
Virtual local area networks (VLAN) allow the segregation of a physical network into separate logical networks with independent broadcast domains. A measure of security is provided since hosts can only access other hosts on the same VLAN and traffic storms are isolated. ROS supports 802.1q tagged Ethernet frames and VLAN trunks. Port based classification allows legacy devices to be assigned to the correct VLAN.
IGMP Snooping
ROS uses IGMP snooping (Internet Group Management Protocol v1&v2) to intelligently forward or filter multicast traffic streams (e.g. MPEG video) to or from hosts on the network. This reduces the load on network trunks and prevents packets from being received on hosts that are not involved. ROS has a very powerful implementation of IGMP snooping that:
.Can be enabled on a per VLAN basis
.Detects and filters all multicast streams regardless of whether subscribers exist
.Supports "router-less" operation by supporting an "active" mode
.Restores traffic streams immediately after an RSTP topology change
Ethernet Port Mirroring
ROS can be configured to duplicate all traffic on one port to a designated mirror port. When combined with a network analyzer, this can be a powerful troubleshooting tool.
Ethernet Port Configuration and Status
ROS allows individual ports to be 'hard' configured for speed, duplex, auto-negotiation, flow control and more. This allows proper connection with devices that do
not negotiate or have unusual settings. Detailed status of ports with alarm and SNMP trap on link problems aid greatly in system troubleshooting.
