The routers of the ECR series have all essential interfaces for the implementation of extensive applications, ranging from remote access to IoT. Both the LAN and 4G variants offer Wi-Fi for operation as an access point for local networking, or as a client for integration into an IT infrastructure. In addition, the routers are suitable for the secure collection and processing of application data (edge computing).
Get more out of your router
With our services and applications, you can supplement your hardware according to your requirements and turn your Industrial router into an intelligent IoT gateway.
icom Data Suite
Turn your router into a protocol converter, data logger or IoT gateway
Wi-Fi
Manage hard-to-reach installations or collect data from other Wi-Fi devices.
Dual SIM
By using two SIM cards in the LTE version, the ECR router allows provider redundancy.
Serial interfaces
With the serial interfaces RS232 and RS485 it is possible to connect external devices and also to transfer existing systems into modern IoT environments.
Ethernet and I/O
Two RJ45 connections and 2×2 digital inputs and outputs create a wide range of possible uses for your application.
Flexible mounting
The possibility of DIN rail mounting as well as wall mounting create the possibility of a flexible mounting e.g. in control cabinets or small distribution boards.
Sleep-Mode
No power supply on site? The energy saving mode also enables solar or battery powered applications.
Hardened router operating system
The hardened icom OS operating system of the ECR router provides extensive network and security functions and thus ensures stable and secure data communication.
IoT-ready
The routers of the ECR series can process data locally and easily connect to cloud systems and IoT platforms.
