1. Product Overview
RuggedCom® RuggedMC™ 7 RMC30 Installation Guide Rev106
1. Product Overview
The RuggedServer™ RMC30 is an industrially hardened, 2-port serial device server 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
voltagesfor worldwideoperability.An operatingtemperature 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.
