Introduction

The RUGGEDCOM RS910 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.
The RS910 can be configured with two serial ports (RS485/RS422/RS232) and/or up to three Ethernet ports
(copper or fiber). The RS910 is able to interconnect multiple types of intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) that
have different methods of communications. Using the RS910 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 RS910 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
RS910 meets or exceeds a wide range of industry standards including IEC 61850, IEEE 1613, IEC 61000-6-2,
IEC 61800-3, and NEMA TS-2. The RS910 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.
