Moxa EDR-810-VPN-2GSFP-T -40 to 75 °C content_copy

The Moxa EDR-810-VPN-2GSFP-T is an industrial multifunction router that combines multiple network security functions in a single device. It serves as a router, firewall, NAT device, IPsec-VPN server/client, and Layer-2 switch, and is specifically designed for security-critical applications in industrial environments. The series is intended for applications such as water treatment, oil & gas, factory automation, and marine, where high reliability and cybersecurity are required.

Applications
This router is suitable for industrial networks requiring a high level of security. It is used in environments where communication between field devices, controls, and higher-level systems must be protected. Support for specific industrial protocols such as Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, FOUNDATION Fieldbus, and PROFINET enables direct integration into existing automation architectures. Certification according to IEC 62443 and NERC CIP confirms suitability for critical infrastructures, while the marine-specific standard IEC 61162-460 enables use on ships and in marine installations.

Functions and Features in Detail
The device features 8 Fast Ethernet RJ45 ports (10/100BaseT(X)) and 2 Gigabit SFP slots (100/1000BaseX) supporting fiber optic cables. These interfaces enable flexible network connectivity, both via copper cables and fiber optics, which is important for long distances or noise-free transmission. The stateful firewall monitors traffic between network zones and protects against unauthorized access. The NAT function enables translation of private IP addresses into public ones, which is necessary for connecting to external networks. The IPsec-VPN technology allows secure connections over public networks, supporting both client and server modes.

Technology Explained Simply
The PacketGuard technology performs deep inspection of industrial protocols to detect and prevent attacks targeting specific control protocols. The SettingCheck function validates configuration rules to avoid errors during setup. The Quick Automation Profile function simplifies setup for common industrial protocols, accelerating configuration. The WAN Routing Quick Setting function provides a four-step assistant to quickly configure router settings. Configuration is performed via a web GUI, enabling intuitive operation.

Compatibility and Accessories
The EDR-810 series is equipped with redundant network protocols such as RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) and Turbo Ring, ensuring high network availability. In the event of a connection failure, an alternative route is activated within milliseconds. The -T model designation indicates the version with extended temperature resistance, designed for operating temperatures of -40 to 75 °C. This makes the device suitable for extreme environments, such as those found in the oil and gas industry or marine applications.

Mounting and Installation
Installation is performed via the web GUI, accessible through a standard web browser. Interfaces are clearly labeled, and configuration is done through a graphical user interface. The I/O interfaces include a digital input (Logic 1: +13 to +30 V, Logic 0: -30 to +3 V, max. 8 mA), an alarm contact (1 A @ 24 VDC, resistive load), and a reset button. These components enable integration into existing alarm and control systems.

Operational Advantages
The router offers high operational reliability through redundant network protocols and comprehensive cybersecurity functions. Support for industrial protocols and easy configuration via the web GUI reduce setup time. The high temperature resistance of the -T model extends the application range to harsh environments. Certifications according to IEC 62443, NERC CIP, and IEC 61162-460 ensure compliance with international standards for cybersecurity in critical infrastructures.
