Installation Guide
Introduction
The RUGGEDCOM RMC30 is an industrially hardened, 2-port Serial-to-Ethernet server that has been specifically
designed to operate in electrically harsh and climatically demanding environments. The RUGGEDCOM RMC30
allows communication with virtually any serial device via Ethernet, providing simple and reliable network
connectivity.
The RUGGEDCOM RMC30 is packaged in a compact, galvanized steel enclosure that allows either DIN or panel
mounting for efficient use of cabinet space. It has an integrated power supply with a wide range of voltages for
worldwide operability. An operating temperature range of -40 to 85°C (-40 to 185°F) without the use of internal
cooling fans allows it to be placed in almost any location. The RUGGEDCOM RMC30 is compliant with EMI and
environmental standards for utility substations, industrial manufacturing, process and control and intelligent
transportation systems applications.
The RUGGEDCOM RMC30 offers both an RS232 port and a RS485/422 port simultaneously via a solid screw down
terminal block. The 10Base-T Ethernet port supports both auto-negotiation and auto-crossover detection and
simplifies cabling. Simple and intuitive network based configuration using either the built in Web or Telnet server
makes setup a breeze. The RUGGEDCOM RMC30’s superior ruggedized design coupled with the Rugged Operating
System™ (ROS®) provides improved system reliability making it ideally suited for creating Ethernet networks for
mission critical, real-time, control applications.

Installing the Device
IMPORTANT!
Heat generated by the device is channeled outwards to the enclosure. As such, it is recommended that
2.5 cm (1 in) of space be maintained on all open sides of the device to allow for some convectional
airflow.
Forced airflow is not required. However, any increase in airflow will result in a reduction of ambient
temperature and improve the long-term reliability of all equipment mounted in the rack space.
NOTE
For detailed dimensions of the device with either DIN rail or panel hardware installed, refer to

• All line-to-ground transient energy is shunted to the Surge Ground terminal. In cases where users
require the inputs to be isolated from ground, remove the ground braid between Surge and Chassis
Ground. Note that all line-to-ground transient protection circuitry will be disabled.
IMPORTANT!
Siemens requires the use of external surge protection in VDSL applications where the line may be
subject to surges greater than that for which the device is rated. Use the following specifications as a
guide for VDSL external surge protection:
• Clamping Voltage: 50 V to 200 V
• Insertion Loss: < 0.1 dB at 10 MHz
• Peak Surge Current: 10 kA, 8x20µs waveform

Copper Ethernet Ports
The RUGGEDCOM RMC30 supports a single 10/100Base-TX Ethernet port that allows connection to a standard
Category 5 (CAT-5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with an RJ45 male connector. The RJ45 receptacles are
directly connected to the chassis ground on the device and can accept CAT-5 shielded twisted-pair (STP) cables.

Communication Ports
WARNING!
Electric shock hazard – risk of serious personal injury and/or equipment interference. If shielded
cables are used, make sure the shielded cables do not form a ground loop via the shield wire and the
RJ45 receptacles at either end. Ground loops can cause excessive noise and interference, but more
importantly, create a potential shock hazard that can result in serious injury.
IMPORTANT!
For substation applications, do not use the copper Ethernet port to interface with field devices across
distances that could produce high levels of ground potential rise (i.e. greater than 2500 V) during lineto-ground fault conditions.

Section3.2.1
RS232 Data Ports
The serial terminal includes a single EIA/TIA RS232 compliant port, consisting of three terminals: Transmit (Tx),
Receive (Rx) and Common (COM).
IMPORTANT!
The RS232 port is intended for point-to-point applications only.
In adherence to the EIA/TIA guidelines for RS232 communications, the following is recommended by Siemens:
• Always use shielded cabling to minimize the effects of ambient electrical noise
• Although greater distances are possible, limit the cable length to 15 m (49 ft) or less for more reliable
communications
• Use a baud rate of 120 kbps
The RS232 port uses a Phoenix-style DB9 compression connector. The following is the pin-out for the connector:

Installation Guide
The RS232 data port has two modes of operations, but only one mode is active at any given time:
• Communications with IEDs (intelligent electronic devices such as PLC, RTU, etc.)
• Console configuration of the device.
To activate console configuration mode, press and hold Ctrl+Z for approximately 10 seconds during power up. To
deactivate console mode, reset the device.
Section3.2.2
RS485/422 Data Ports
The serial terminal includes a single RS485/RS422 data port. In half duplex mode, the RS485 connections (Rx+,
Rx-, COM) should be connected. In full-duplex mode, the RS422 connections (Rx+, Rx-, Tx+, Tx-, COM) should
be connected. Both RS485 and RS422 can accommodate multi-drop networks, for master-slave serial network
communications. For both RS485/RS422 connections, the following general guidelines should be followed:
• To minimize the effects of ambient electrical noise, use shielded cabling.
• The correct polarity must be observed throughout a single sequence or ring.
• The number of devices wired should not exceed 32, and total distance should be less than 1219 m (4000 ft) at
100 kbps.
• The Common terminals should be connected to the common wire inside the shield.
• The shield should be connected to earth ground at a single point to avoid loop currents.
• The twisted pair should be terminated at each end of the chain (typically with a 120 Ohm resistor and a 10nF
capacitor in series across the twisted pair).
NOTE
The RUGGEDCOM RMC30 features built-in pull-up and pull-down resistors. As such, external bias
resistors are only recommended when connecting the RUGGEDCOM RMC30 to third-party serial devices
that do not have built-in pull-up and pull-down resistors.

NOTE
Transient protection is provided on all terminals. Lightning strikes and ground surge currents can cause
large momentary voltage differences between ends of communication links. For maximum reliability of
the entire link, all equipment should have similar transient protection installed.
The following shows the recommended RS485 wiring.
