Introduction
Introduction
The RUGGEDCOM RS400 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 RUGGEDCOM RS400 is able to interconnect multiple types of intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) that have
different methods of communications. Using the RUGGEDCOM 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 RUGGEDCOM 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 RUGGEDCOM RS400 meets or exceeds a wide range of industry standards including IEC61850,
IEEE1613, IEC61000-6- 2, IEC1800-3 and NEMA TS-2. The RUGGEDCOM RS400 also features a wide operating
temperature range of -40 to 85 °C (-40 to 185 °F) allowing it to be installed in virtually any location.
The RUGGEDCOM 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 24 VDC, 48
VDC, 88-300 VDC and 85-264VAC, allowing for great installation flexibility.
The embedded Rugged Operating System (ROS) within the RUGGEDCOM 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 RUGGEDCOM RS400 is

Cabling Recommendations
Siemens recommends using SIMATIC NET industrial Ethernet shielded cables for all Ethernet ports.
CONTENTS
• Section1.4.1, “Protection On Twisted-Pair Data Ports”
• Section1.4.2, “Supported Fiber Optic Cables”
Section1.4.1
Protection On Twisted-Pair Data Ports
All copper Ethernet ports on RUGGEDCOM products include transient suppression circuitry to protect against
damage from electrical transients and conform with IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 Class 1 standards. This means
that during a transient electrical event, communications errors or interruptions may occur, but recovery is
automatic.
Siemens also does not recommend using copper Ethernet ports to interface with devices in the field across
distances that could produce high levels of ground potential rise (i.e. greater than 2500 V), during line-to-ground
fault conditions.

Connecting Multiple RS485 Devices
Each RS485 port can communicate with multiple RS485 devices by wiring devices together in sequence over a
single twisted pair with transmit and receive signals on the same two wires (half duplex). For reliable, continuous
communication, adhere to the following guidelines:
• 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.
The following shows the recommended RS485 wiring.
