The Moxa EDR-810-2GSFP is an industrial router that integrates a multi-port router, firewall, VPN gateway, NAT functionality, and a managed Layer 2 switch into a compact housing. The device is specifically designed for use in critical industrial environments, such as water treatment plants, oil and gas DCS systems, and SCADA and PLC networks in factory automation. It serves as a central security solution to protect networks from unauthorized access and cyber threats.
Applications
The router is designed for demanding industrial environments where high availability, security, and reliability are required. It is particularly suitable for facilities that operate multiple networks and require secure communication between different levels (e.g., fieldbus and management network). Support for industrial protocols such as Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, FOUNDATION Fieldbus, and PROFINET makes it especially suitable for automation applications.
Functions and Equipment in Detail
The device features 8 Fast Ethernet ports (RJ45) and 2 Gigabit SFP ports, enabling flexible network connectivity. The integrated stateful firewall allows precise control of data traffic, with Moxa’s proprietary PacketGuard technology performing deep inspection of industrial protocols. This protects against attacks that exploit specific industrial communication protocols. NAT functionality enables IP address translation, making the network architecture more flexible. An IPsec-VPN tunnel can be operated as either server or client to establish secure connections over public networks.
Technology Explained Simply
Configuration is performed via an intuitive web interface, offering features such as “WAN Routing Quick Setting” and SettingCheck for verifying firewall rules. Quick Automation Profiles allow rapid securing of typical industrial protocols with minimal input. Network functions include RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) and Turbo Ring, ensuring redundant network structures and enabling fast recovery in case of a connection failure. The digital input interface supports logic “1” at +13 to +30 V and logic “0” at -30 to +3 V, with a maximum input current of 8 mA. An alarm contact rated at 1 A @ 24 VDC is also integrated.
Compatibility and Accessories
The router is designed for use in industrial networks and supports common standards such as IEC 62443, NERC CIP, and the marine-specific IEC 61162-460 standard. The SFP ports allow the use of fiber optic or copper transceivers, extending the reach and flexibility of network connections. Compatibility with industrial protocols such as Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, FOUNDATION Fieldbus, and PROFINET makes it a universal security device in automation systems.
Mounting and Installation
The device is designed for industrial environments and can be mounted in standard 19-inch racks. Installation is performed via the web interface, which enables step-by-step configuration. Network connections are realized via RJ45 connectors and SFP modules, allowing flexible integration into existing networks. The operating temperature of the standard model ranges from 0 to 60 °C, while the -T model is designed for operation from -40 to 75 °C.
Operational Advantages
The Moxa EDR-810-2GSFP offers a comprehensive security architecture in a single device, reducing the number of required components. The integrated firewall, NAT, VPN, and managed switch functions enable centralized control and monitoring of the network. Support for redundancy protocols such as RSTP and Turbo Ring increases network availability. The PacketGuard technology provides specific protection for industrial protocols, enhancing security in critical installations. The intuitive web interface simplifies setup and maintenance, even for users without advanced networking knowledge.
Protection Rating and Operating Conditions
The device is designed for industrial environments subject to high mechanical and thermal stress. The operating temperature of the standard model ranges from 0 to 60 °C, while the -T model is designed for operation from -40 to 75 °C. The digital input interface supports logic “1” at +13 to +30 V and logic “0” at -30 to +3 V, with a maximum input current of 8 mA. An alarm contact rated at 1 A @ 24 VDC is also integrated.
