DS1500

Supporting eight serial and five Ethernet interfaces, the DynaStar 1500 Industrial Frame Router (IFR) delivers reliable and secure WAN connectivity to multiple industrial automation devices at your site.

The DynaStar DS1500-IFR is the only integrated WAN device specifically designed for industrial monitoring and control networks operating in harsh environments. Combining 5 different networking functions (terminal server, Ethernet switch, IP router, frame relay access device and DSU/CSU), the DS1500-IFR is the only device available that can replace multiple WAN communication devices on your network, increasing operational reliability and significantly reducing hardware and deployment costs.

A “Hardened” product, the DS1500-IFR is built to thrive in the harshest environments and conditions, including: extreme temperatures, high humidity, power surges, ground potential rise, EMI/RFI interference as well as other tough environmental conditions often found in industrial and remote process sites. The DS1500-IFR supports multiple application and device interfaces including legacy, bit-oriented protocols, Async/serial protocols and IP/Ethernet. The DS1500-IFR is ideally suited to enable IP conversion strategies for SCADA traffic, and other non-IP based process control, supervisory or monitoring communications traffic. The DynaStar 1500 IFR uses SCADA Frame Forwarding technology for low overhead, high performance support of delay sensitive serial SCADA applications.

The DS1500-IFR consolidates data from multiple devices on to a common platform, then on to a wide area network connection. The primary WAN interface is based on frame relay over private or carrier services. The platform can also function locally as both an Ethernet switch and an Async-TCP/IP terminal server.
