Compact Chassis with Versatile Interfaces for Complex Industrial NetworkingNetworking requirements on an industrial site are rarely singular. A single device may need to simultaneously connect to PLCs, sensors, cameras, and cloud platforms—processing serial data, routing Ethernet traffic, and providing Wi-Fi coverage all at once. Stacking multiple devices to meet these needs not only consumes valuable cabinet space but also increases points of failure and maintenance complexity. The MovingComm ComIn I2350 5G Industrial Router is purpose-built to address exactly this challenge—integrating five Fast Ethernet ports, RS232/RS485 serial interfaces, GPIO, and dual-band Wi-Fi into a compact chassis, covering a wide range of industrial networking scenarios with a single device. 1. Product Positioning: Integrated Design for Complex Field EnvironmentsThe ComIn I2350 is a 5G industrial router from MovingComm designed for the industrial IoT M2M sector, suitable for multiple industries including smart grids, industrial automation, intelligent transportation, environmental monitoring, and smart water utilities. Its core design philosophy can be summarized as "one device does the work of many" —integrating the interfaces and functions most commonly needed in industrial settings to eliminate wasted space and the burden of maintaining multiple devices. The device features a compact form factor (130mm × 135mm × 26mm) and supports standard DIN-rail or wall-mounting installation, allowing it to be securely fixed inside cabinets without occupying excess space. 2. Interface Configuration: Five Interface Types Cover On-Site Access NeedsThe ComIn I2350 covers the most common access methods found in industrial environments with its comprehensive interface configuration:
The five Fast Ethernet ports are a standout feature rarely found in competing products. Most industrial routers offer only 1–2 Ethernet ports, which often proves insufficient when multiple wired devices need to be connected simultaneously on site. The ComIn I2350's five-port design allows it to simultaneously serve the networking needs of PLCs, HMIs, cameras, local servers, and more—eliminating the need for an additional switch. On the serial side, RS232 and RS485 are the two most prevalent serial interfaces in industrial environments. The ComIn I2350 integrates both on the same Phoenix terminal block, enabling direct connection to field devices regardless of whether they use RS232 or RS485. Combined with the device's transparent data transmission capability, serial device data can be directly encapsulated into IP packets and uploaded to the cloud or servers—making it the simplest path to network-enabling legacy equipment. The device also features a metal enclosure that provides isolation protection, making it particularly suitable for industrial control applications. 3. Networking and Communication: Wired + 5G + Wi-Fi Triple BackupThe ComIn I2350 provides triple-layer redundancy for network access:
The device supports intelligent failover between wired and 5G connections—when the wired network fails, it automatically switches to the 5G link to ensure uninterrupted communication. This is particularly critical for mission-critical business scenarios. 4. Management and Maintenance: Cloud Platform Remote OperationsThe ComIn I2350 supports remote management via MovingComm's ComCloud intelligent cloud platform. Through the platform, operations and maintenance personnel can:
For devices distributed across different locations, cloud platform management significantly reduces the labor costs of on-site maintenance, allowing most routine tasks to be completed without dispatching personnel to the field. Hardware & Software Dual Watchdog: The device incorporates both hardware and software watchdog mechanisms that automatically reboot the system in case of crashes or network disconnections, ensuring 24/7 stable operation. 5. Typical Application ScenariosIndustrial Automation Production Line Data Acquisition On automated production lines, the ComIn I2350 connects to PLCs or sensors via serial ports and to barcode scanners or operator panels via Ethernet ports. Data such as production volume, yield rates, and equipment status are uploaded in real time to MES systems over the 5G network, enabling visualized production process management. Smart Grid and Distribution Network Monitoring Smart meters and relay protection devices in the power industry commonly use RS485 interfaces. The ComIn I2350's serial port connects directly to these devices, uploading data to power dispatch centers over the 5G network for remote meter reading and distribution network monitoring. Video Surveillance and Security In scenarios such as construction sites and industrial parks, the ComIn I2350 connects multiple network cameras through its Ethernet ports and transmits video feeds over the 5G network to meet remote real-time surveillance requirements. The five-port design allows a single device to connect multiple cameras simultaneously, eliminating the need for an additional switch. Self-Service Terminals and Smart Retail Self-service parcel lockers, vending machines, and automated payment terminals are scattered throughout cities, often lacking wired network deployment conditions. With its 5G wireless connectivity and compact form factor, the ComIn I2350 can be easily embedded inside these terminal devices to provide a stable communication link. 6. ConclusionThe design philosophy of the ComIn I2350 5G Industrial Router is straightforward—not about feature stacking, but about getting the interfaces and functions most needed in industrial settings right. Five Fast Ethernet ports, RS232/RS485 serial ports, GPIO, 5G全网通 (full-network compatibility), and dual-band Wi-Fi coverage—this combination of features enables a single device to handle the majority of industrial networking scenarios. For engineers and technical professionals planning device networking or industrial IoT projects—facing challenges such as limited space and complex interface requirements—the ComIn I2350 offers a practical option: choosing the right device beats cobbling together a solution from multiple devices.
