Industrial EtherNet/IP Slave to MQTT Broker converter with LTE and VPN HD67C16-G43-VPN-B2

Industrial EtherNet/IP Slave to MQTT Broker converter with LTE and VPN HD67C16-G43-VPN-B2

HD67C16-G43-VPN-B2 is an industrial communication converter designed for secure integration of devices and controllers operating in an EtherNet/IP network with modern IoT platforms, SCADA systems and cloud applications based on the MQTT Broker architecture. The device operates as an EtherNet/IP Slave, making process data available to higher-level systems in real time.

The G43-VPN version features combined LAN and LTE connectivity with support for a physical SIM card and an integrated VPN service. This ensures secure, encrypted data transmission over public networks and reliable communication in distributed installations or locations without permanent wired infrastructure.

Both EtherNet/IP and MQTT communication are handled via the RJ45 Ethernet interface with 10/100 Base-T Autosensing as well as through the LTE cellular network. Galvanic isolation between Ethernet and the power supply increases immunity to electromagnetic interference and enhances operational safety in industrial environments.

The compact B2 Modulbox enclosure is designed for mounting on a DIN 35 mm rail. The device supports operation in harsh industrial conditions with an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. Its compact dimensions 70 × 60 × 95 mm allow installation in space-constrained control cabinets.

Key features

• Integration of EtherNet/IP Slave devices with MQTT Broker.
