Introduction Introduction The RUGGEDCOM RS416 is an industrially hardened serial device server with an integrated, fully managed, Ethernet switch, designed to operate reliably in electrically harsh and climatically demanding environments. Featuring a modular design that can support IEEE 1588 and IRIG-B time synchronization, up to 16 serial ports and up to four Ethernet ports, the RS416 is able to interconnect and synchronize multiple types of intelligent electronic devices (IEDs).

Chapter 1 RUGGEDCOM RS416 Introduction Installation Guide Section 1.3 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) Support The Precision Time Protocol (PTP) module adds the ability to provide time synchronization via Ethernet using the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) and Network Time Protocol (NTP), and to synchronize with an external IRIG-B source.
RUGGEDCOM RS416 Chapter 1 Installation Guide Introduction IRIG-B PWM IRIG-B time synchronization is an even older, established, inter-device time synchronization mechanism providing accuracy in sub-milliseconds. IEEE 1588 IEEE 1588 is designed to provide networked, packet-based time synchronization between different networking nodes (PTP devices).
This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Attempted service by unauthorized personnel shall render all warranties null and void. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Siemens Canada Ltd. could invalidate specifications, test results, and agency approvals, and void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
Chapter 2 RUGGEDCOM RS416 Installing Device Installation Guide NOTE For detailed dimensions of the device with either rack, DIN rail or panel hardware installed, refer to Chapter 5, Dimension Drawings.

RUGGEDCOM RS416 Chapter 2 Installation Guide Installing Device Forced airflow is not required. However, any increase in airflow will result in a reduction of ambient temperature and improve the long-term reliability of all equipment mounted in the rack space. Secure the adapters to the rack using the supplied hardware.

Chapter 2 RUGGEDCOM RS416 Installing Device Installation Guide Figure 13: Dual AC/DC Power Supply Section 2.3 Connecting the Failsafe Alarm Relay The failsafe relay can be configured to latch based on alarm conditions. The NO (Normally Open) contact is closed when the unit is powered and there are no active alarms. If the device is not powered or if an active alarm is configured, the relay opens the NO contact and closes the NC (Normally Closed) contact.

Common Terminal 5. Normally Closed Terminal Section 2.4 Grounding the Device The RS416 chassis ground terminal uses a #6-32 screw. It is recommended to terminate the ground connection with a #6 ring lug and torque it to 1.7 N·m (15 lbf·in).
Siemens also does not recommend using copper Ethernet ports to interface with devices in the field across distances that could produce high levels of ground potential rise (i.e. greater than 2500 V), during line-to-ground fault conditions.
Chapter 3 Installation Guide Communication Ports Communication Ports The RUGGEDCOM RS416 can be equipped with various types of communication ports to enhance its abilities and performance.
