Why integrators shortlist the FI05-225
• Intel Alder Lake-N N97 delivers four efficient cores within a 12 W maximum TDP envelope for HMI, protocol conversion, data collection and lightweight edge-control workloads.
• Three GbE ports—two Intel i210 and one Realtek RTL8111H—can separate machine, supervisory and service networks without adding an external switch.
• Three USB 3.0 ports, one USB 2.0 port and optional dual COM support connect modern peripherals and legacy industrial devices.
• A 9-36 V DC input, AT/ATX power management and optional UPS module support common industrial power architectures.
• Wall, back or DIN-rail mounting provides a defined mechanical path for compact OEM installations.
Optional serial, wireless, cellular, UPS and TPM functions must be confirmed for the same build before quotation.
Compute, display and storage planning
The standard order model E225-01 uses an Intel Alder Lake-N N97 processor with four cores and a 12 W maximum TDP. Memory is one DDR4 SO-DIMM channel with a maximum capacity of 16 GB. Intel Gen12 UHD Graphics supports DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.2.
Dual independent display output is available through one DisplayPort 1.4 connection at up to 4096 x 2304 @ 60 Hz and one HDMI 2.0b connection at up to 4K x 2K @ 60 Hz. Storage uses one M.2 M-Key 2280 SATA 3.0 slot. Confirm SSD capacity, write endurance and the required OS image before release.
Network, serial and wireless expansion
The external network layout provides three GbE ports: two Intel i210 controllers and one Realtek RTL8111H controller. External USB connectivity is three USB 3.0 ports plus one USB 2.0 port. The optional serial configuration provides COM1 with RS-232/422/485 and COM2 with RS-232.
Internal expansion includes one M.2 B-Key 3042/3052 slot for 4G/5G, one M.2 E-Key 2230 slot for Wi-Fi/CNVi, one Nano SIM socket, one internal USB 2.0 pinout and one internal USB Type-A connector. Map every camera, PLC, scanner, modem and service device to a physical port before quotation.
Mechanical, environmental and power limits
The enclosure measures 172 x 125 x 50 mm and weighs approximately 1.0 kg. It supports wall, back and DIN-rail installation. The listed operating range is 0 to 60 C, with storage from -40 to 85 C. Operating humidity is 95% at 40 C and storage humidity is 95% at 60 C, both non-condensing.
Power input is 9-36 V DC with AT/ATX management and 60 W maximum consumption. The standard packing list identifies a 24 V / 2.5 A adapter with a 4-pin terminal. Confirm connector pinout, grounding, cable clearance and the available DC power budget for the final system.
