Robustel R1511 Dual Ethernet Router
The R1511 is a sister product of the R1510 series offering a choice of (3-wire) RS232 or (2-wire) RS485 instead of the Digital Input and Digital Output found on the R1510 series.
This means that RS232 and RS485 devices, including Modbus RTU equipment, can connect to the internet directly through the R1511 router. The Ethernet port can be independently configured as WAN, LAN1 or LAN2 and Ethernet port 1 as LAN1 or LAN2.
Â

- Modbus RTU to Modbus TCP Gateway built-in
- Ethernet, Wifi and 4G internet connection options with auto-failover
- Free cloud management platform RCMS
- Fully programmable Linux environment with excellent SDK Documentation
- ‘Smart Reboot’ for enhanced roaming SIM management
- RobustVPN provides fixed IP address on ANY SIM card

Explore their selection of rugged routers to find solutions tailored for demanding industrial requirements.
A cellular router and a cellular modem serve distinct roles in wireless communication. A cellular modem connects a single device to a cellular network, converting cellular signals into data for internet access. In contrast, a cellular router not only includes a modem but also manages multiple device connections, offering features such as network routing, firewall security, and failover capabilities. This makes cellular routers ideal for rugged, mission-critical applications requiring reliable multi-device connectivity. FB Peripherals is a trusted supplier of rugged cellular routers designed for harsh environments. For more detailed information, visit our rugged routers page.
