Product description
The TC MGUARD RS4000 3G is suitable for distributed protection of production cells or in-
dividual machines against manipulation.
It features a 4-port managed LAN switch and an industrial 3G mobile communication
modem for GPRS, UMTS, and CDMA networks with a download speed of up to 14.4 Mbps.
The mobile communication interface can be switched to WAN interface as redundancy
path. A dedicated DMZ port with its own firewall rules enables segmentation and differenti-
ated safety concepts. The GPS/GLONASS receiver enables time synchronization and loca-
tion services. You can integrate automation devices with serial interfaces into networks, as
a COM server is integrated.
For software-independent remote maintenance, the TC MGUARD RS4000 3G can be used
as a VPN router for up to 10 (optionally up to 250) parallel, IPsec-encrypted VPN tunnels.
The TC MGUARD RS2000 3G is a version with basic firewall and can be used as a VPN
client for up to two parallel, IPsec-encrypted VPN tunnels. It is suitable for secure remote
maintenance applications at locations without wired networks and enables global connec-
tion of distributed machines and controllers.
Both versions support a replaceable configuration memory in the form of an SD card. To in-
crease safety, VPN connections can be switched on or off via switch contact, SMS or soft-
ware interface. The fanless metal housing is mounted on a DIN rail.
