Introduction 1
The RUGGEDCOM RS416 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 a modular
design that can support IEEE 1588 and IRIG-B time synchronization, up to 16 serial
ports and up to four Ethernet ports, the RUGGEDCOM RS416 is able to interconnect
and synchronize multiple types of intelligent electronic devices (IEDs).
The time source is provided via IEEE 1588 v2 and converted to IRIG-B for distribution
to the IEDs via the serial ports or dedicated IRIG-B cabling. Each serial port supports
standard data communications plus an IRIG-B time-synchronization output. Using
the RUGGEDCOM RS416 results in fewer connectivity devices reducing overall
system costs and extends the useful life of existing legacy IEDs minimizing capital
expenditure for new equipment.
The RUGGEDCOM RS416 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 RS416 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 embedded Rugged Operating System (ROS®) within the RUGGEDCOM RS416
provides advanced layer 2 and layer 3 networking functions, advanced cyber security

Introduction
1.5Cabling Recommendations
1.5 Cabling Recommendations
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
electrical event, communications errors or interruptions may occur, but recovery is
automatic.
Siemens also does not recommend using copper Ethernet ports to interface with
devices 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.
1.5.1 Supported Fiber Optic Cables
The following fiber optic cable types are supported under the stated conditions.

1.6 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) Support
The Precision Time Protocol (PTP) module adds the ability to provide time
synchronization via Ethernet using the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) and Network
Time Protocol (NTP), and to synchronize with an external IRIG-B source.
The PTP module features BNC ports for TTL IN and TTL OUT. It also includes an LED to
indicate when synchronization has been achieved.
Note
The PTP module can only be installed in slot 5. For more information, refer to
"Communication Ports (Page 23)".

1.6.1 Supported Time Synchronization Sources
The following time synchronization sources are supported by the RUGGEDCOM
RS416, with or without the PTP card:
Synchronization Source Without PTP Card With PTP Card
NTP ü ü
IEEE 1588 v2 ü ü
IRIG-B PWM û ü
NTP
NTP (Network Time Protocol) is the standard for synchronizing the clocks of
computer systems throughout the Internet and is suitable for systems that require
accuracies in the order of 1 ms.
IRIG-B PWM
IRIG-B time synchronization is an even older, established, inter-device time
synchronization mechanism providing accuracy in sub-milliseconds.
IEEE 1588
IEEE 1588 is designed to provide networked, packet-based time synchronization
between different networking nodes (PTP devices). The RUGGEDCOM RS416
supports PTP v2, which is defined in the IEEE 1588-2008 standard. IEEE 1588
is designed to fill a niche not well served by either of the two older, dominant
protocols, NTP and IRIG-B. IEEE 1588 is also designed for applications that cannot
bear the cost of a GPS receiver at each node or for which GPS signals are inaccessible.
The RUGGEDCOM RS416 only supports ordinary clock mode. An ordinary clock can
be configured as either a Grandmaster Clock (GM) or a Slave Clock (SC) within the
master-slave hierarchy.

Installation Manual, 11/2020, C79000-G8976-1018-09

Introduction
1.6.2TTL Outputs
Every Ethernet port on the RUGGEDCOM RS416 supports IEEE 1588. For more
information, refer to "IEEE 1588 Support (Page 7)".
1.6.2 TTL Outputs
The PTP card provides a TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) output.
The TTL OUT port supports the IRIG-B PWM and PPS signal formats. Enabling/
disabling the output port and selecting the signal format is controlled through the
RUGGEDCOM RS416 operating system.
The number of devices that can be connected to the TTL Out port is dependent on
the cabling type and length, as well as the input impedances of the devices. The
following simplified circuit schematic shows the interface between an IRIG-B source
and connected devices.

Figure1.3 IRIG-B Simplified Circuit Schematic
The maximum number of devices (N) that can be connected to the source is
determined by checking if the source current (IS) required to drive the connected
devices is less than the maximum drive current the source can provide, and verifying
that the load voltage (VL) the connected devices see is greater than the minimum
required voltage.
1.6.3 IEEE 1588 Support
RUGGEDCOM RS416 supports various IEEE 1588 time synchronization capabilities
and provides synchronization in 2-step mode. This mode supports the following clock
types:
• End-to-End Slave Clock
• End-to-End Master Clock

Installing Device
2.2Mounting the Device
3. Verify all items are included.
IMPORTANT
If any item is missing or damaged, contact Siemens for assistance.
2.2 Mounting the Device
The RUGGEDCOM RS416 is designed for maximum mounting and display flexibility. It
can be equipped with connectors that allow it to be installed in a 48 cm (19 in) rack,
35 mm (1.4 in) DIN rail, or directly on a panel.
IMPORTANT
Heat generated by the device is channeled outwards from the enclosure. As such, it
is recommended that 2.5 cm (1 in) of space be maintained on all open sides of the
device to allow for some convectional airflow.
Forced airflow is not required. However, any increase in airflow will result in a
reduction 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 rack, DIN rail or panel hardware
installed, refer to "Dimension Drawings (Page 34)".
2.2.1 Mounting the Device to a Rack
