Introduction
The RUGGEDCOM RS910 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.
The RUGGEDCOM RS910 is able to interconnect multiple types of Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) that have
different methods of communications. Using the RUGGEDCOM RS910 extends the useful life of existing legacy
IEDs, minimizing capital expenditure for new equipment.
The RUGGEDCOM RS910 provides a high level of immunity to electromagnetic interference and heavy electrical
surges typical of environments found on plant floors and curb-side traffic control cabinets. An operating
temperature range of -40 to 85 °C (-40 to 185 °F) coupled with optional conformal coating and a galvanized steel
enclosure allows the RUGGEDCOM RS910 to be placed in almost any location.
The RUGGEDCOM RS910 can be mounted on a DIN rail or panel for efficient use of cabinet space.
The integrated power supply supports a wide range of voltages (88-300 VDC or 85-264 VAC) for worldwide
operability, as well as dual-redundant, reversible polarity, 24 VDC and 48 VDC power supply inputs for high
availability applications requiring dual or backup power inputs.
The RUGGEDCOM RS910's superior ruggedized design and embedded RUGGEDCOM Rugged Operating System
(ROS) provides superior system reliability and advanced networking features making it ideally suited for creating
Ethernet networks for mission-critical, real-time, control applications.
