Introduction
The RUGGEDCOM RS416 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 a modular design that can support IEEE 1588 and IRIG-B time synchronization, up to 16 serial ports
and up to four Ethernet ports, the RS416 is able to interconnect and synchronize multiple types of intelligent
electronic devices (IEDs).
The time source is provided via IEEE 1588 v2 and converted to IRIG-B for distribution to the IEDs via the serial
ports or dedicated IRIG-B cabling. Each serial port supports standard data communications plus an IRIG-B timesynchronization output. Using the RS416 results in fewer connectivity devices reducing overall system costs and
extends the useful life of existing legacy IEDs minimizing capital expenditure for new equipment.
The RS416 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
RS416 meets or exceeds a wide range of industry standards including IEC 61850-3, IEEE 1613, IEC 61000-6-2
and IEC 61800-3. The RS416 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 embedded Rugged Operating System (ROS®) within the RS416 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 RS416 is ideal for creating

Cabling Recommendations
Siemens does not recommend the use of copper cabling of any length for critical, real-time substation automation
applications. 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.

Section 3.4
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.

Time Synchronization
The RS416 is able to derive and provide time synchronization via Ethernet using the Precision Time Protocol
(PTP) and NTP (Network Time Protocol). With the IRIG-B module is installed, the RS416 is also able to
synchronize to received IRIG-B time signal and to distribute it via BNC and via serial ports equipped with IRIG-B
signals. Please refer to the data sheet for ordering options.
The following are the time synchronization sources supported by the RS416 for time synchronization.
NTP (Network Time Protocol) is the standard for synchronizing the clocks of computer systems throughout the
Internet and is suitable for systems that require accuracies on the order of 1 ms.
IRIG-B (Inter Range Instrumentation Group, mod B) time synchronization is an established, inter-device time
synchronization mechanism which provides accuracy on the order of 1ms to 1μs.
IEEE 1588 is designed to fill a niche not well served by either NTP or IRIG-B. IEEE1588 is designed for local
systems requiring accuracies on the order of 100 nanoseconds. IEEE 1588 is also designed for applications that
cannot bear the cost of a GPS receiver at each node or for which GPS signals are inaccessible. Every Ethernet
port on the RS416 supports IEEE1588.
Section 3.5.1
IRIG-B Ports
The IRIG-B output ports described in sections 3.3 and 3.5 derive their time from the IRIG-B module, which
occupies one slot in lieu of a two-port Ethernet module. The IRIGB module has one dedicated input and one
dedicated output. These ports operate in IRIG-B PWM mode (IRIG-B006 or IRIG-B007) only.
The following figure shows the layout of the BNC connectors on the IRIG-B I/O board. The LED in the center
of the board, indicated by the mark, reflects the status of the received IRIG-B signal, and is described in the
following table.

IRIG-B Connection Considerations
RUGGEDCOM RS416
Installation Guide
The number of IRIG-B devices that can be connected to a given IRIG-B output is dependent on the cabling
type and length, as well as the input impedances of connected devices. The following shows a simplified circuit
diagram of the interface between an IRIG-B output and connected devices.
Figure 28: IRIG-B Simplified Schematic
1. Source 2. Cabling 3. Device
The maximum number of devices (N) that can be connected to the source is determined by verifying that the
source current (IS) required to drive the connected devices is less than the maximum drive current the output can
provide, and that the load voltage (VL) seen by the connected devices is greater than their minimum required
voltage. For IRIG-B port specifications, refer to Section 4.6, “IRIG-B Ports”.
