Hi,
what you want to do comes up quite frequently in industrial automation type scenarios.
The good news is that it absolutely can be done, however it requires something called "policy routing", which is not the easiest for a first try at configuring Mikrotik devices.
Some ideas:

Just a side note. You bought a quite expensive router for what I assume to be a very low amount of traffic. I hope that for any sort of industrial setting you bought the PC (passively cooled) version, if not, then exchange it if possible. Passively cooled stuff have much better life expectancies and require less maintenance (cleaning). Also - if you need the number of ports - any of the CRS series may be suitable for your use case.
