SCALANCE S615 LAN router for the protection of devices and networks in automation technology, as well as for securing industrial communication via VPN and firewall. Additional features include address translation (NAT/NAPT), connection to SINEMA RC, a 5-port switch, 1 digital input, and 1 digital output. The transmission rates are 10 Mbit/s and 100 Mbit/s. The SCALANCE S615 is optimized for use in automation environments and industrial applications, meeting the specific requirements of automation technology, such as easy upgradeability of existing systems, straightforward installation, and minimal downtime in case of failure. It protects industrial automation networks from unauthorized access and enables the establishment of a DMZ (demilitarized zone). This allows for data exchange with other networks without granting direct access to the production network. Traffic control and filtering are managed by the integrated firewall, which provides protection against misuse, unauthorized access, as well as disturbances and communication overload. Seamless integration into existing networks is possible without the need for reconfiguration of end devices or the establishment of new IP subnets. Comprehensive protection is ensured through a flexible cell protection concept. The devices are robust and designed for industrial use. Accessories include comprehensive software, exchange media, FastConnect connectors, stripping tools, plug transceivers, and cables that perfectly complement the system.
