Product Description
The RuggedServer™ RS400NC Family 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 RS400NC is able to interconnect multiple types of intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) that have different methods of communications. Using the RS400NC 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 RS400NC 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 RS400NC meets or exceeds a wide range of industry standards including IEC61850, IEEE1613, IEC61000-6-2, IEC1800-3, and NEMA TS-2. The RS400NC also features a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C allowing it to be installed in virtually any location.
The RS400NC 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 RS400NC 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 RS400NC is ideal for creating mission-critical, real-time, control applications in any harsh environment.
The RS400NC is backed by RuggedCom’s all inclusive five year warranty and unsurpassed technical support.
