Focusing on what is truly important is essential if you intend to minimize the work of integrating IP machinery into higher-level networks.
With Weidmüller, you don't have to worry about your network security; we designed our IE SR-2GT LAN FN NAT router and firewall for applications where security and Network Address Translation (NAT) are paramount. The router reliably protects IP-based industrial networks thanks to its integrated dynamic packet inspection firewall with flexible filtering in both directions (incoming and outgoing WAN/LAN packets). The router's 1:1 NAT and IP routing/virtual mapping functions allow you to easily integrate subnets with identical IP addresses without having to structure the machine network into a higher-level production network.
The new router is the most efficient option for integrating systems with the same IP address range.
Advantages
Optimized network infrastructure: IP routing enables controlled data transmission between subnets. Furthermore, subnetting reduces network load.
Simpler configuration: IP addresses are virtually implemented with 1:1 NAT. Serial machines with identical IP configurations can now operate in parallel and be integrated into higher-level networks without the need to assign individual IP address ranges to each one.
Highly secure networks: The integrated firewall, equipped with extensive configurable filtering functions, recognizes legitimate data flow and denies unauthorized data access to the network.
