RuggedServer™ RS416
Modular 16-Port Serial Device Server with Integrated Managed Ethernet Switch
eRSTP TM
The RuggedServer™ RS416 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 a modular design that can support up to 16 serial ports and up to 4 Ethernet ports, the RS416 is able to interconnect
multiple types of intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) that have different methods of communications. Using the RS416 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 RS416 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 RS416 meets or exceeds a wide range of industry standards including IEC 61850, IEEE 1613, IEC 61000-6-2, IEC 61800-3, and NEMA TS-2. The RS416 also features a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C allowing it to be installed in virtually any location.
The embedded Rugged Operating System (ROS™) within the RS416 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 RS416 is ideal for creating mission-critical, real-time, control applications in any harsh environment.
The RS416 is also backed by RuggedCom's all inclusive five year warranty and unsurpassed technical support.

RuggedServer™ RS416
Modular 16-Port Serial Device Server with Integrated Managed Ethernet Switch
Serial IP Encapsulation
Many 'legacy' devices (RTU, PLC, IED, etc.) only support serial communications via RS232, RS422 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 RS416 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.
Cyber Security
ROSTM Features
that are 'pruned' to prevent loops. eRSTP
yields worst-case fault recovery1 of 5ms times the 'bridge diameter' and allows rings of up to 80 switches. For example, a ring of ten switches will have fault recovery times under 50ms. eRSTP implements both STP and RSTP to ensure interoperability with commercial switches unlike other proprietary 'ring'
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 then 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).
Cyber security is an urgent issue in many industries where advanced automation and communications networks play a crucial role in mission critical applications and where high reliability is of paramount importance. Key ROS™ features that address security issues at the local area network level include:
.Passwords - Multi-level user passwords secures switch against unauthorized configuration
.SSH / SSL - Extends capability of password protection to add encryption of passwords and data as they cross the network
.Enable / Disable Ports - Capability to disable ports so that traffic can not pass
.802.1q VLAN - Provides the ability to logically segregate traffic between predefined ports on switches
.MAC Based Port Security - The ability to secure ports on a switch so only specific Devices / MAC addresses can communicate via that port
.802.1x Port Based Network Access Control - The ability to lock down ports on a switch so that only authorized clients can communicate via this port
.Radius - Provides centralized password management.SNMPv3 - encrypted authentication and access security
The ROS™ cyber security features are included to help address the various industry specific security standards such as NERC CIP, ISA S99, AGA 12, IEC 62443, ISO 17799:2005 and PCSRF SPP-ICS.
Enhanced Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (eRSTP™)
RuggedCom eRSTP allows the creation of fault-tolerant ring
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. GVRP support is also provided to simplify the configuration of the switches on the VLAN.
Link Aggregation (802.3ad)
The link aggregation feature provides the ability to aggregate several Ethernet ports into one logical link (port trunk) with higher bandwidth. This provides an inexpensive way to set up a high speed backbone to improve network bandwidth. This feature is also known as "port trunking", "port bundling", "port teaming", and "ethernet trunk".
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:
|
and mesh Ethernet networks that incorporate redundant links |
1 eRSTP fault recovery times may be approximated as follows: |
|
|
|
|
For 100 Mbps, fault recovery performance is <5ms/hop |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For 1,000 Mbps, fault recovery performance is <5ms/hop + 20ms |
