RUGGEDCOM RS401
Installation Guide
Introduction
The RUGGEDCOM RS401 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
RS401 is able to interconnect multiple types of intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) that have different methods of
communications. Using the RS401 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 RS401's compact design makes it ideally suited for panel mount locations or installations with tight space
restrictions.
The RS401 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 RS401
meets or exceeds a wide range of industry standards including IEC61850, IEEE1613, IEC61000-6- 2, IEC1800-3
and NEMA TS-2. The RS401 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 RS401 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 RS401 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 RS401 is ideal for
creating mission-critical, real-time, control applications in any harsh environment.

To connect a high AC power supply to the device, do the following:
CAUTION!
Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment. Before testing the dielectric strength (HIPOT) in the
field, remove the braided ground cable connected to the surge ground terminal and chassis ground.
This cable connects transient suppression circuitry to chassis ground and must be removed in order to
avoid damage to transient suppression circuitry during testing.
1. Connect the positive wire from the power source to the positive/hot (+/H) terminal on the terminal block.

suppression circuitry internal to the unit.
4. Connect the ground terminal on the power source to the chassis ground terminal on the device. For more
information, refer to Section2.4, “Grounding the Device” .
Section2.2.2

4. Connect the ground terminal on the power source to the chassis ground terminal on the device. For more
information, refer to Section2.4, “Grounding the Device” .
Section2.3
Connecting the Failsafe Alarm Relay
The failsafe relay can be configured to latch based on alarm conditions. The NO (Normally Open) contact is closed
when the unit is powered and there are no active alarms. If the device is not powered or if an active alarm is
configured, the relay opens the NO contact and closes the NC (Normally Closed) contact.
NOTE
Control of the failsafe relay output is configurable through ROS. One common application for this relay
is to signal an alarm if a power failure occurs. For more information, refer to the ROS User Guide for
the RS401.
The following shows the proper relay connections.

Section2.5
Cabling Recommendations
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.

Installing the Device
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.
Section2.6
Connecting to the Device
The following describes the various methods for accessing the ROS console and Web interfaces on the device. For
more detailed instructions, refer to the ROS User Guide for the RS401.
Serial Console Port
Connect a PC or terminal directly to the serial console port to access the boot-time control and ROS console
interface.
IMPORTANT!
The serial console port is intended to be used only as temporary connections during initial
configuration or troubleshooting.

Copper Ethernet Ports
The RS401 supports several 10/100Base-TX Ethernet ports that allow connection to standard Category 5 (CAT-5)
unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables with RJ45 male connectors. The RJ45 connectors are directly connected to
the chassis ground on the device and can accept CAT-5 shielded twisted-pair (STP) cables.
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

Modem Port
The RS401 can optionally be equipped with a V.90 Modem connection for PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol)
connections. For information about how to configure and operate the modem, refer to the ROS User Guide for
the RS401.
WARNING!
Fire hazard – risk of serious personal injury and/or damage to equipment. To reduce the risk of fire, use

NOTE
This product meets the applicable Industry Canada technical specifications.
The Ringer Equivalence Number is an indication of the maximum number of devices allowed to be
connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface may consist of any combination of
devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the RENs of all the devices does not exceed five.
Section3.4
Serial Ports
The RS401 supports RJ45 or DB9 serial ports, which can be run in RS232, RS485 or RS422 mode.
NOTE
On power-up, all serial ports default to RS485 mode. Each port can be individually set to RS232, RS485
or RS422 mode through ROS. For more information, refer to the ROS User Guide for the RS401.
All serial ports feature an LED that indicates the current state of the port.

Serial RS232 DB9 Ports
Serial RS232 DB9 ports offer a female Data Communications Equipment (DCE) interface. When communicating
with a Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) device, such as a PC, a straight-through serial cable (3 pin or 9 pin) is
required. When communicating with an another DCE device, such as another RS401, the RX and TX pins must be
crossed-over using, for example, a NULL modem cable.
The following is the pin-out description for the RS232 DB9 ports:

Communication Ports
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.
