1 Product Overview
INTRODUCTION
The RuggedServer™ RMC30 is an industrially
hardened, 2-port serial device server that has
been specifically designed to operate in
electrically harsh and climatically demanding
environments. The RMC30 allows you to
communicate with virtually any serial device via
Ethernet providing simple and reliable network
connectivity.
The RMC30 is packaged in a compact,
galvanized steel enclosure that allows either
DIN or panel mounting for efficient use of
cabinet space. It has an integrated power
supply with a wide range of voltages for
worldwide operability. An operating
temperature range of -40 to +85°C (-40 to
+185°F) without the use of internal cooling fans
allows it to be placed in almost any location.
The RMC30 is compliant with EMI and
environmental standards for utility substations,
industrial manufacturing, process and control
and intelligent transportation systems
applications.
The RMC30 offers both an RS232 port and a
RS485/422 port simultaneously via a solid
screw down terminal block. The 10Base-T
Ethernet port supports both auto-negotiation
and auto-crossover detection and simplifies
cabling. Simple and intuitive network based
configuration using either the built in Web or
Telnet server makes setup a breeze.
The RMC30's superior ruggedized design
coupled with the Rugged Operating System™
(ROS) provides improved system reliability
making it ideally suited for creating Ethernet
networks for mission critical, real-time, control
applications.
