Introduction
1
The RUGGEDCOM RS910L is a utility-grade serial device server and managed Ether-
net switch supporting Ethernet over VDSL (EoVDSL). The RUGGEDCOM RS910L can
be configured with two serial ports (RS485/RS422/RS232) and/or two Ethernet ports
(copper of fiber).
The RUGGEDCOM RS910L can interconnect multiple types of intelligent electronic de-
vices (IEDs) that have different methods of communication.
EoVDSL supports LAN segments of up to 5 km (3.1 mi) over telephone grade cable
(or other legacy serial cabling) at up to 35 Mbps (upstream and downstream). It al-
lows an Ethernet-enabled device to communicate with a central control room using
existing cabling. It is the perfect solution for bringing Ethernet networking to appli-
cations where existing wiring is already present, thus saving the considerable cost of
upgrading existing legacy devices or installing new network cabling.
The RUGGEDCOM RS910L provides a high level of immunity to electromagnetic in-
terference 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 hazardous location certification (Class I Division 2), op-
tional conformal coating and a galvanized steel enclosure allows the RUGGEDCOM
RS910L to be placed in almost any location.
The RUGGEDCOM RS910L 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 polari-
ty, 24 VDC and 48 VDC power supply inputs for high availability applications requir-
ing dual or backup power inputs.
The RUGGEDCOM RS910L '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 mis-
sion-critical, real-time, control applications.
