Overview
1OVERVIEW
1.1 Document user
This document is intended to be used for HW engineering,
hook-up and maintenance. Physical interfaces and capabilities
are described.
1.2 Module
The RSER200-4 is a module in the Kongsberg RIO200 module
family. These modules provide functions such as I/O interface,
network hub/repeater and serial line interface. They have the
same shape and are mechanically mounted on a horizontal
dual-rail system.
The RSER200-4 is a four channel, galvanic isolated, serial
line, interface module that can be linked to one, two or three
controllers (RCUs). The four Þeld channels are individually
conÞgurable as either RS232, RS422, RS485 or NMEA 0183 for
connection to Þeld equipment. There are three Link Channel
interfaces for connection to the controllers.
The RSER200-4 is powered by the RBUS connectors.
The RSER200-4 contains the following features:
• Isolated serial line Þeld channels
• Run/error LED on front showing module status
• Blinking LEDs on front showing transmit and receive data
activity for each channel
• All internal voltages are monitored
• Allow hot module replacement
• Compliant to standards IEC 60945 and IACS E10

2 FUNCTION
Figure 1 RSER200-4 function diagram
The RSER200-4 is a serial line module used for connecting
serial line equipment to RCU(s) in single or redundant controller
systems.
The module can be connected to up to three controllers (A, B, C)
via the three RJ45 connectors (P1, P2, P3), and up to four Þeld
equipment (1, 2, 3, 4) via the four terminal blocks (X1, X2, X3,
X4).
The module contains a USB interface (P4) intended for test and
service purposes. It provides functions to monitor the serial line
activity and the general status of the module.
The RSER200-4 consists of the main function blocks as shown
in the function diagram (see Figure 1 for block/function diagram
of the RSER200-4).
• Power supply
• Processor and channel logic
•LinkandÞeld interfaces
• USB interface
• LEDs (Status, RX and TX)
2.1 Power supply input
The RSER200-4 accepts single or dual 24 VDC as supply
voltage(s) via the RBUS A and RBUS B connectors.
6300993/Ap27

Function
The module is provided with “ideal diodes” to interconnect the
two power supplies without loss of voltage. It is also provided
with inrush current protection that limit the current to maximum
0.5 A. This allows plug and play functionality and system short
circuit protection.
Figure 2 Power block diagram for RSER200-4
2.2 Serial Line Interfaces
The illustration in Þgure below shows the switching principles
of RSER200-4.
One controller (A, B or C) can send serial data via one
RSER200-4 module to four serial line Þeld channels. This is
achieved by de-multiplexing.
Dual or triple redundant controllers can be connected to the
module. The controllers will receive data simultaneously, but
only one is allowed to send. The logic for which controller (A, B
or C) that shall send is determined by the controllers.

2.2.1 Link Channel interfaces
Three identical Link Channel interfaces A (P1), B (P2), and C
(P3) are available. Each Link Channel interface is connected
using a cable connection between one dedicated RJ45 connector
on the RCU and one of the RJ45 connectors P1, P2, and P3 on
RSER200-4. The Link Channel interfaces are implemented with
high speed RS422.
2.2.2 Field Channel interfaces
Four isolated, identical, serial line Þeld channels 1, 2, 3 and
4 are available. Each of them can be conÞgured by the system
conÞguration interface to handle either RS232, RS422, RS485 or
NMEA 0183 standards.

2.4 USB interface
A USB port (USB 2.0, full speed, 12 Mbit) is included on the
module to facilitate direct communication with the module
controller for test and service purposes. The interface uses a USB
B type connector (P4) and is protected by a transient suppressor.
2.5 Watchdog
A built-in watchdog resets the module program if a software
error occurs.

5INSTALLATION
Caution
The module can be unpacked and handled without ESD
protection, but electrostatic discharge can damage
components on the module when terminating wires and
cables to it. Therefore always wear a correctly-connected
earthing strap when working on the module.
1Open the module front door.
2Label the module with the appropriate module name.
3Hook the RSER200-4 on to the lower DIN rail in a 30° angle
and snap it to the RBUS connectors and upper DIN rail in
one rotating movement.
4Connect the link channel patch cables to the connectors P1
to P3 as appropriate.
5Connect the Þeld channel cable wires to the terminal blocks
X1 to X4 on the RSER200-4 as appropriate. Use a ßat-bit
screwdriver to fasten the wires. The terminal blocks accept
up to 2.5 mm2wire dimension.
6Turn ON power. The module status LED will be lit red
