Introduction 1
The RUGGEDCOM RS401 is an industrially hardened, serial device server with an in-
tegrated, fully managed Ethernet switch, designed to operate reliably in electrical-
ly 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 RS401 is able to interconnect multiple types of intelligent electronic
devices (IEDs) that have different methods of communications. Using the RUGGED-
COM RS401 results in fewer connectivity devices (which reduces overall system
costs) and also extends the useful life of existing legacy IEDs (which minimizes capi-
tal expenditure for new equipment).
The RUGGEDCOM RS401's compact design makes it ideally suited for panel mount lo-
cations or installations with tight space restrictions.
The RUGGEDCOM RS401 provides a high level of immunity to electromagnetic inter-
ference and heavy electrical surges typical of environments found in electric utility
substations, factory floors or in curb side traffic control cabinets. The RUGGEDCOM
RS401 meets or exceeds a wide range of industry standards including IEC61850,
IEEE1613, IEC61000-6- 2, IEC1800-3 and NEMA TS-2. The RUGGEDCOM RS401 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 RS401 also includes an industrially rated integrated power supply
that can support a wide range of power supply options suitable for multiple indus-
tries 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 RS401 pro-
vides advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 networking functions, advanced cyber securi-
ty features, and a full array of intelligent functionality for high network availabili-
ty and manageability. Coupled with the ruggedized hardware design, the RUGGED-
COM RS401 is ideal for creating mission-critical, real-time, control applications in any
harsh environment.

Installation Manual, 02/2020, C79000-G8976-1017-10

Introduction
1.5Cabling Recommendations
Decommissioning
This device may include sensitive, proprietary data. Before taking the device out of
service, either permanently or for maintenance by a third-party, make sure it has
been fully decommissioned.
For more information, refer to the associated Configuration Manual.
Recycling and Disposal
For environmentally friendly recycling and disposal of this device and related acces-
sories, contact a facility certified to dispose of waste electrical and electronic equip-
ment. Recycling and disposal must be done in accordance with local regulations.
1.5 Cabling Recommendations
Siemens recommends using SIMATIC NET industrial Ethernet shielded cables for all
Ethernet ports.
1.5.1 Protection On Twisted-Pair Data Ports
All copper Ethernet ports on RUGGEDCOM products include transient suppression
circuitry to protect against damage from electrical transients and conform with IEC
61850-3 and IEEE 1613 Class 1 standards. This means that during a transient electri-
cal event, communications errors or interruptions may occur, but recovery is auto-
matic.
Siemens also does not recommend using copper Ethernet ports to interface with de-
vices in the field across distances that could produce high levels of ground potential
rise (i.e. greater than 2500 V), during line-to-ground fault conditions.
1.5.2 Supported Fiber Optic Cables
The following fiber optic cable types are supported under the stated conditions.

width (MHz·km) 100Base-FX 1000Base-SX 10GBase-SR

Installing the Device
2.3.1Mounting the Device on a DIN Rail
Forced airflow is not required. However, any increase in airflow will result in a reduc-
tion of ambient temperature and improve the long-term reliability of all equipment
mounted in the rack space.
Note
For detailed dimensions of the device with either DIN rail or panel hardware installed,
refer to "Dimension Drawings (Page 31)".
2.3.1 Mounting the Device on a DIN Rail
The RUGGEDCOM RS401 can be ordered with panel/DIN rail adapters preinstalled on
each side of the chassis. Use the adapters to mount the device to a standard 35 mm
(1.4 in) IEC/EN 60715 or TS35 DIN rail.
Note
The device is available with a front panel or side panel mount option.
