Westermo Merlin-4609-F2G-T4-S2-DI6-DO2-LV-QFZ Industrial Cellular Router

The Merlin 4600 series of versatile cellular routers provide high-speed data network connectivity for demanding industrial, smart grid, and trackside applications. Coupled with the Zero Touch deployment software Activator, it provides cost-effective, reliable, and consistent onboarding of routers in large-scale projects.

This compact, rugged unit is suited to tight spaces. It meets the requirements of the IEC 61850-3 Class 1 Medium Voltage substation and also railway trackside EN 50121-4. The power supply and Ethernet ports benefit from a high level of galvanic isolation, up to 4 kVrms. Its high MTBF and wide temperature range support maximum service life

To achieve best-in-class cybersecurity, the Merlin 4600 series is equipped with a TPM (Trusted Platform Module) chip that keeps cryptographic keys secure. Secure Boot ensures that the unit boots using only software that is signed and trusted. A set of cybersecurity tools is available as standard including VPN and stateful Firewall support for data security and user authentication.

The built-in industrial protocol gateway enables several devices using different protocols to be accessed via a common protocol interface. The unit supports up to 6 digital inputs and 2 outputs for local control or monitoring. Support for more digital inputs and outputs is possible using external modules.
