Application Use Cases
EtherCAT SoftPLC Controller for Machine Automation
Deployed as the controller in a servo motor and distributed I/O system, the NIFE-105 runs a SoftPLC software stack — Beckhoff TwinCAT 3, CODESYS or equivalent — on Windows 10 Enterprise, using one Intel I210-IT NIC as an EtherCAT master interface to communicate with servo drives, digital I/O terminals, analogue I/O modules and safety controllers on a real-time EtherCAT network. The palm-size chassis mounts within the machine's existing control cabinet, consolidating the fieldbus master, Modbus RTU gateway and HMI server functions into a single platform connected to the engineering network through the second I210-IT NIC — reducing the panel component count versus a separate PLC, serial gateway and industrial PC.
M2M Gateway and Industrial IoT Edge Node
In machine-to-machine communication deployments, the NIFE-105 aggregates data from multiple field devices: Modbus RTU instruments on COM1/COM2 (RS-485 with 2,500 V isolation), EtherCAT devices on LAN1 and USB field devices on the four USB 3.0 ports. An optional 4G/LTE mini-PCIe module combined with the integrated SIM slot provides cellular backhaul to a cloud IoT platform, enabling remote monitoring, OTA configuration updates and alarm notifications from installations without fixed Ethernet infrastructure. The 16 GB eMMC and optional SATA SSD store edge analytics data locally for resilience against connectivity interruptions.
Serial Protocol Gateway and Modbus Data Concentrator
With COM1 and COM2 providing isolated RS-232/422/485 with auto flow control and COM3/COM4 available as internal RS-232 headers, the NIFE-105 supports up to four simultaneous serial device connections at different baud rates and protocols. Running protocol conversion software on Windows 10 Enterprise, it aggregates Modbus RTU data from energy meters, motor drives, temperature controllers and flow meters into a Modbus TCP or OPC UA endpoint accessible over Gigabit Ethernet by upstream SCADA or MES systems — functioning as a protocol gateway and data concentrator with no additional gateway hardware required in the panel.
Compact Embedded Controller for Space-Constrained Installations
The 46.2 × 100 × 120 mm form factor makes the NIFE-105 suitable for integration into machine frames, robot controllers and specialised equipment where a standard DIN-rail controller chassis occupies too much panel space. The +24 VDC ±20% input connects directly to the machine's existing 24 V DC bus; AT mode enables automatic power-on with machine start without a dedicated power controller; the GPIO header (4 in, 4 out) connects to machine digital I/O signals for status monitoring, interlock control and alarm indication directly from the controller chassis without an external I/O expansion unit.
Remote Monitoring Node with Wireless Backhaul
For remote utility monitoring, substation control and pipeline telemetry applications, the NIFE-105 with an optional 4G/LTE mini-PCIe module provides a self-contained monitoring and communication node: RS-485 on COM2 connects to Modbus RTU instruments; the GPIO inputs monitor alarm contacts and digital status signals; the onboard eMMC and optional SD card store local data for offline resilience; and the LTE module provides cellular backhaul to the control centre over a VPN connection. The −20 °C to +70 °C operating range accommodates outdoor enclosure ambient temperatures without supplementary cabinet heating at remote sites.
Why Choose the NIFE-105
EtherCAT SoftPLC in a 46 × 100 × 120 mm Chassis
The combination of two Intel I210-IT NICs — supporting EtherCAT master operation under TwinCAT 3 or CODESYS — with Windows 10 Enterprise and a palm-size form factor addresses a specific integration challenge: deploying a real-time fieldbus master in installations where panel space is severely constrained. Traditional EtherCAT controller platforms — DIN-rail bus couplers, rack-mount industrial PCs, embedded control modules — typically require substantially more panel real estate. The NIFE-105 provides EtherCAT master capability and a full Windows 10 SoftPLC runtime within a chassis that can be mounted inside a controller cabinet door or within the machine body itself, without reserving a DIN-rail rail section or a separate equipment rack bay.
2,500 V Isolated Serial Ports — Without an External Isolator
Galvanic isolation on RS-232/422/485 COM ports is a specification frequently absent from compact industrial PCs at this form factor — it is typically found in larger rack-mount serial interface cards or dedicated serial isolator units purchased separately. The NIFE-105 includes 2,500 V isolation as standard on both external DB9 COM ports, providing ground loop protection for RS-485 networks that connect instruments, drives and controllers powered from different supply circuits. This eliminates the need for external DIN-rail serial isolators or fibre-optic RS-485 repeaters between the NIFE-105 and its serial field devices, reducing wiring cost and cabinet component count in installations with mixed-supply serial networks.
Dual mini-PCIe Flexibility — One SKU for Wired and Wireless Deployments
Two independent mini-PCIe sockets allow the NIFE-105 to be configured for different deployment scenarios from the same base hardware: one slot carries a Wi-Fi module whilst the other provides cellular LTE; storage-intensive deployments add an mSATA SSD to one slot whilst retaining a wireless interface in the other; the independent internal SATA connector provides a further storage path alongside both mini-PCIe modules simultaneously. A single procurement SKU therefore covers both wireless-connected field nodes and wired-only installations with expanded local storage — simplifying spares inventory management for projects deploying the NIFE-105 across multiple sites or machine variants.
