The RUGGEDCOM RS400 is a utility grade, 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 RUGGEDCOM RS400 is able to interconnect multiple types of intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) that have different methods of communication. Using the RUGGEDCOM RS400 results in fewer connectivity devices, reducing overall system costs, and also extends the useful life of existing legacy IEDs, minimizing capital expenditure for new equipment.
