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.
