Introduction

The RUGGEDCOM RS400F 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 RS400F is able to interconnect multiple types of intelligent
electronic devices (IEDs) that have different methods of communications. Using
the RUGGEDCOM RS400F 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 RS400F 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 RS400F meets or exceeds a wide range of industry standards including
IEC61850, IEEE1613, IEC61000-6- 2, IEC1800-3 and NEMA TS-2. The RUGGEDCOM
RS400F 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 RS400F 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 RS400F
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 RS400F is ideal for creating mission-critical, real-time, control
applications in any harsh environment.
