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
ideal for creating mission-critical, real-time, control applications in any harsh environment.
