The compact and reliable RUGGEDCOM RMC devices are industrially hardened media converters specifically designed to operate in harsh environments such as those found in electric utility substations and factory floors. The RUGGEDCOM RMC series of Ethernet and serial media converters bridge the gap between the different types of network segments and speeds to maximise the effectiveness of your network while extending the life of legacy equipment.

Benefits

• IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 standards compliant to support mission-critical communications
• Save CAPEX with media conversion between existing infrastructure
• Simple plug and play operations
• Designed to address harsh environments with extended temperature ranges.
• Multiple port options are available for flexibility
• Integrate networks with protocol conversion between different protocols and media types
• Optimise data transfer rates between different devices, ensuring accurate data transmission, leading to reduced latency
• Easy to install, configure and use, reducing downtime and maintenance costs

Small yet rugged, the RUGGEDCOM RMC8388 series devices are compact timing protocol converters that convert PTP (IEEE 1588) to IRIG-B or PPS time signals. Reduce maintenance costs on legacy coax cabling and maximise the effectiveness of your network by integrating standard ethernet cabling for both communications and timing purposes. Rugged-rated for reliability in harsh environments, it also enables several IRIG or PPS configuration options and comes with a host of approvals and certifications.

Benefits

• Allowing continued use of non 1588 compatible IEDs after the transition to a 1588-based timing solution
• Reliable in harsh environments reduces expensive service visits
• Reduce maintenance costs and increase timing availability by eliminating dedicated timing networks
• Common operating system (ROS) with other RUGGEDCOM layer 2 products reduces the need for retraining technical personnel
• No need for an external power supply, reducing CAPEX for worldwide applications
• Optimise data transfer rates between different devices, ensuring accurate data transmission, leading to reduced latency

Commonly used in applications where legacy serial devices need to be integrated into modern IP network infrastructures, the utility-grade RS400 Series is equipped with a range of functions. Designed to operate reliably in harsh industrial environments, the RUGGEDCOM RS400 is a utility-grade, serial device server with an integrated, fully managed Ethernet switch or Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) switch and versatile mounting options.

Benefits

• Reduced CAPEX resulting from fewer connectivity devices
• Protected CAPEX due to the extended lifespan of legacy IEDs when transitioning to ethernet-based communications
• Managed switch features support high network availability and manageability
• Designed to address harsh environments with extended temperature ranges
• Available option with no need for external power supply, reducing CAPEX for applications with HI and LO options

Minimise the number of devices, reduce overall system costs, and extend the life of existing legacy intelligent electronic devices (IDE) with the RUGGEDCOM RS910. The utility-grade, serial device server has an integrated, fully managed Layer 2 Ethernet switch, connecting multiple IDEs.

Benefits

• Reduced CAPEX resulting from fewer connectivity devices
• Extends the life of legacy IEDs while transitioning to an ethernet-based communications network
• Managed switch features support high network availability and manageability
• No need for an external power supply, reducing CAPEX for applications with HI and LO options
• Operating temperature range of –40 to +85 °C, to function in almost any location
• Runs the Rugged Operating System (ROS®) and offers simple plug-and-play operation
• Equipped with cybersecurity features including multi-level user passwords, SSH/SSL128-bit encryption, and MAC-based port security
• Meets and exceeds a number of standards – such as IEEE 1613, IEC 61850-3, and IEC 61800-3
