Industrial router XR5i v2 is used to a secure connection between two local area networks
(LANs) via two ETHERNET interfaces 10/100 and secured tunnel (IPSec, OpenVPN or L2TP).
The second option is to use this router for connecting two devices with different serial interface
(RS232, RS485, MBUS) alternatively I/O to the local network (LAN). In this configuration, the
communication device has an EHTERNET 10/100 and two interfaces that are equipped on
the user’s request.
XR5i v2 router is standardly equipped with one ETHERNET 10/100 port, one USB A (host)
port, one I/O port and two expansion ports. Users can select a second ETHERNET 10/100
port, serial interface RS232, RS485, RS422, MBUS, expansion port with SD card (SDH) or
other inputs/outputs (I/O). Industrial XR5i v2 router is supplied either in a plastic or metal
casing, based on the requirements of the customer.
Configuration is performed via web interface and protected by password. The router supports creation of VPN tunnels using technologies IPsec, OpenVPN and L2TP to ensure safe
communication. Web interface provides detail statistics about the router activities.
Other diagnostic functions ensuring continuous communication include automatic functionality inspection, or hardware Watchdog which monitors the status of the router. With the help
of a special window (start up script window) you may insert Linux scripts for various actions.
For some applications the key option to create several different configurations for one wireless router, the so-called profiles (maximum of 4), and the option to switch between them (for
example via binary input status, web interface, etc.) is essential.
The industrial router XR5i v2 has implemented SNMP protocol for remote management.
It is also possible to configure the network in bulk and use any additional software – VPN
SmartCluster configurator to easily configure a VPN or a program for monitoring routers in
the network R-SeeNet. Industrial XR5i v2 router is enhanced by the ability to create custom
functions easy integration of custom software modules.
XR5i v2 router is supplied in the following versions (see table below). All versions are
available in plastic or metal box according to customer requirements.
• DIN rail EN 60715 with included clip CPD2 (or CKD2 for metal version).
For the most of applications with a built-in router in a switch board it is possible to recognize
two kinds of environments:
• no public and industry environment of low voltage with high interference,
• public environment of low voltage without high interference.
For both of these environments it is possible to mount router to a switch board, the following
there is no need to have examination immunity or issues in connection with EMC according to
EN 60439-1 ed.2:00 + A1:04.
Compliance of EN 60439-1 ed.2:00 + A1:04 specification it is necessary to observe next
assembly of the router to the switch – board:
• For every cables we recommend to bind the bunch, we recommend for this use:
– Length of the bunch (combination of power supply and data cables) can be maxi-
mum 1.5 m. If the length of data cables exceeds 1.5 m or in the event of, the cable
leads towards the switch – board. We recommend installing over – voltage protectors (surge suppressors).
– With data cables they mustn’t carry cables with reticular tension ∼ 230 V/50 Hz.
• Sufficient space must be left in front of individual connectors for handling of cables,
Figure 12: Space in front of connectors (plastic)Figure 13: Space in front of connectors (metal)
• For correct function of the router we recommend to use in the switch-board earth-bonding
distribution frame for grounding of power supply of router, data cables and antenna.
DIN holder is suitable for DIN rail according to EN 60715 standard only. Default position of
CPD2 holder (or CKD2 for metal version), which is used for mounting the router on a DIN rail,
is shown in the following figure:
Figure 14: Default position of DIN holder
For removing from the DIN rail it is necessary to lightly push upward the router so that the
top part of the CPD2 holder (or CKD2 for metal version) hitched to the DIN rail get out of this
rail and then fold out the top part of the router away from the DIN rail.
About router status inform four LED indicators on the front panel. ETH port, PORT1 and
PORT2 have two additional LEDs that provide information about port status.

Power supply for router is required between +9 V to +36 V DC supply. Protection against
reversed polarity without signaling is built into the router.
The power consumption during receiving is 1.6 W. The power consumption when using
WiFi is 1.9 W. The peak power consupmtion during data sending is 2.5 W. However, values of
consumption can be increased, if some expansion port is eqquipped. For correct operation it
is necessary that the power source is able to supply a peak current of 0.5 A.
Circuit example:
Figure 18: Connection of power supply
The positive pole VCC is marked by a red socket on the power.
I/O user interface is designed for processing of binary input and control (setting) binary
output. Binary output is not switched to ground in the default configuration. Maximum load
binary output is 30 V / 100 mA. The constant current supplied by the binary input is 3 mA.
Connect I/O cable into the I/O connector on the front panel of the router and tighten locking
screws (see figure below).

When PWR LED starts flashing on the front panel, it is possible to restore the default configuration of the router by pressing the RST button on the front panel. After pressing this button
the default configuration is restored and then router reboots (green LED will be on).
For pressing the RST button could be used a narrow screwdriver.
Figure 27: Router reset
We recommend backing up configuration of the router (see Configuration manual for v2routers) because reset of the router sets the configuration to the default state.
It is important to distinguish between reset and reboot the router.
