Product Introduction

 

Weidmüller IE-SR-2GT-LAN-FN Industrial Ethernet Router

The Weidmüller IE-SR-2GT-LAN-FN is a two-port industrial security router designed to connect and protect Ethernet network segments. Its Gigabit RJ45 interfaces support IPv4 routing, NAT, SPI firewall filtering, and transparent bridging. Additional functions include DHCP services, Modbus TCP status monitoring, and network diagnostics through remote packet capture.

IE-SR-2GT- LAN-FN

In industrial control environments, separating PLC networks from supervisory or external networks helps control traffic and limit unwanted access. The configurable firewall, network monitoring, and WAN disconnection input provide practical tools for maintaining communication boundaries in existing automation installations.

 

Application Scenarios & Field Pitfalls

The IE-SR-2GT-LAN-FN is suitable for industrial Ethernet installations that require controlled communication between network segments. In PLC and SCADA environments, incorrect NAT rules, firewall filters, or routing settings can prevent otherwise healthy controllers and supervisory systems from exchanging data.

Typical application scenarios

  • Separating PLC control networks from plant information networks.
  • Connecting industrial Ethernet segments with IPv4 routing and NAT.
  • Applying firewall filtering to automation network traffic.
  • Monitoring network-node availability and reporting communication faults.
  • Capturing network traffic for troubleshooting Ethernet communication problems.

Field-engineering precautions

  1. Back up the configuration first. Preserve firewall rules, NAT mappings, IP addresses, and routing settings before replacing the router. The SCM smart-card slot and USB interface support configuration backup and restoration.
  2. Check both network interfaces. Confirm which port is assigned to each network segment. Reversing LAN/WAN connections can interrupt PLC communication or expose an unintended network path.
  3. Review firewall and NAT rules. Verify required PLC protocols, supervisory connections, port forwarding, and VLAN-related filtering before commissioning.
  4. Verify the CUT input wiring. This 24 V digital input physically disconnects the WAN port. Incorrect wiring or an unintended input signal can interrupt external communication.
  5. Confirm power compatibility. The nominal supply is 24 VDC, with a documented operating range of 7–36 VDC. Check supply stability and wiring polarity before installation.
