RuggedServer™ RS401
4-Port Serial Device Server with Integrated 4-Port Managed Ethernet Switch
The RuggedServer™ 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. Based on
the popular RuggedServer™ RS400, the RS401 includes all
the same functionality including an integrated 4 port serial
server, 4 port managed Ethernet switch, and optional V.90
modem. In addition, the RS401 features a more compact
design that is particularly suited for panel mount locations or
installations with tight space restrictions. The RS401 is an
ideal device to connect and “IP-enable” legacy serial devices
or IEDs for Ethernet network connectivity.
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, IEC61800-3,
and NEMA TS-2. The RS401 also features a wide operating
temperature range of -40°C to +85°C 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 24VDC, 48VDC, and 88VDC
- 300VDC/85VAC - 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.
The RS401 is backed by RuggedCom’s all inclusive five year
warranty and unsurpassed technical support.
