The NIFE 200 features scalable computing performance with a choice of Intel Celeron processor J1900 and Intel Atom E3800 processors.

The NIFE 200 series supports real-time control and SoftPLC/SoftMotion functions for use in a wide variety of processes including filling, dispensing, labeling, packing and many more. If configured with cameras and scanners, the NIFE 200 series can be applied to defect inspection for enhanced quality control, or to documentation of production records by reading barcodes and product serial numbers.

To realize above factory-wide automation, the NIFE 200 series provides two mini-PCIe slots to extend support for industrial communication protocols. Available fieldbus modules include PROFIBUS, PROFINET, DeviceNet, CANopen, SERCOS III, EtherNet/IP, and EtherCAT master. Connection to peripherals and sensors can also be established with COM, USB, and optional GPIO ports.

For HMI applications, the NIFE 200 factory automation controllers can be paired with JMobile Suite which provides local control and remote monitoring capability. With internet access over GbE LAN and 3G/Wi-Fi, factory operators can oversee different automation processes, having a holistic view of on-line activities.

A local copy of manufacturing logs can also be saved to a SD card, HDD/SSD, or mSATA drive, helping manufacturers build trackability and traceability of products required by regulatory compliance standards.
