Technical description
The ICR-3200 4G LTE gateway is the perfect way to connect IP or serial devices via a cellular network. Industrial M2M and IoT applications include SCADA, industrial PCs, HMIs, traffic controllers, CCTV, meters, kiosks, UPS systems, and much more.
With LTE Cat.4 upload speeds of up to 50 Mbps and download speeds of up to 150 Mbps, the router provides ample bandwidth for high-data-demand applications. The device has two SIM card readers for carrier failover redundancy. As an addition, the router can be customized to use an embedded SIM.
In addition to its two independent Ethernet ports, serial ports RS232 and RS485, ICR-3200 has built-in digital I/O connectivity, a backup real-time clock, and sleep mode support.
An optional built-in Wi-Fi module is available, supporting 802.11a/b/g/n/ac modes and MIMO, and Bluetooth v5.1. An optional built-in GNSS chipset provides accurate positioning information for the router.
The ICR-3200 places intelligence at the network edge with a powerful Cortex A8 CPU at 1GHz, 512 MB RAM, and 4 GB EMMC FLASH memory in pSLC mode for long-lifetime and critical industrial applications. 1.3 GB of memory space is allocated for customer SW applications and data.
With an open Linux-based ICR-OS operating system and wide possibilities of programming customer SW applications in Python, C/C++ or browser-based flow editor Node-RED, or even Docker containers, the ICR-3200 offers a real open development platform for Industrial IoT applications.
The Advantech existing Router App library with apps already developed to enhance specific router functionality, including industrial protocol conversions and support of IoT platforms such as MS Azure, Cumulocity, and others, is supported on the router.
The router supports VPN tunnel creation using various protocols to ensure safe communications. The router provides diagnostic functions which include automatic monitoring of the wireless and wired connections, automatic restart in case of connection losses, and a hardware watchdog that monitors the router's status.
ICR-3200 is easy to manage using WebAccess/DMP, a full-featured cloud-based management, provisioning, and monitoring tool for mass deployment.
