The NIFE 300’s JMobile Suite is an HMI solution enabling local control and remote monitoring. processors offer the multicore architecture required to con-


solidate systems and deliver real-time, deterministic performance. They enable the NIFE 300 to handle complex integration logic and motion- and-kinetics control tasks in parallel, commanding hundreds of axes or processing hundreds of thousands of I/O tag data. Further increasing multitasking responsiveness, the processors’ Intel® Technology enables two processing threads per physical core.


The combination of EtherCAT technology and the ability of multicore Intel®


processors to support higher channel density and greater mul-


titasking signifi cantly reduces the number of controllers required. The NIFE 300 makes full use of the processors’ support of fast DDR4 2133 DRAM and high-speed interfaces. Machine manufac- turers can order the controller with up to 16 GB DRAM. PCIe 3.0, USB 3.0, and SATA 3.0 ensure smooth performance of complex con- trol schemes and image capture.


The processors’ high-powered graphics engine brings dynamic real- time 3D simulation of machining paths – as well as Ultra HD 4K graphical display capabilities – to machining information and HMI applications. Intel®


APIs, including DirectX 12 and OpenGL 4.5, for energy-effi cient ren- dering of 2D and 3D vector graphics. Hardware-accelerated video codecs enable fast transcoding.


Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions 2 (Intel® AVX 2) ensures effi -


cient processing of image data. With newly optimized 256-bit integer instructions and new fused multiply-add (FMA) instructions for fl oating-point computations, Intel AVX 2 doubles the number of double-precision fl oating point operations per second (FLOPS) per clock cycle. This performance boost improves performance on robot guidance, positions and measurements of work pieces, and surface inspection.
