● Modular Industrial IoT Controller
Build Smarter. Scale Faster. Control Everything.
NORVI X — Up to 200 I/O Points
The NORVI X replaces legacy PLCs with an open, scalable platform built on ESP32-S3. 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet built in. Deploy once — expand as your industrial application grows from basic I/O to 200 points.
The Industrial Automation Challenge
Why Traditional PLCs Are Holding You Back
Modern industrial deployments demand IoT connectivity, cloud integration, and flexible scaling. Legacy PLC architecture wasn’t built for this.
- ✗ High upfront cost — pay for all I/O capacity you may never use
- ✗ Proprietary programming software with expensive annual licensing fees
- ✗ IoT connectivity requires costly third-party communication add-ons
- ✗ Cloud integration needs custom middleware — complex and fragile
- ✗ Firmware updates require expensive on-site engineer visits
- ✗ Vendor lock-in limits customisation and long-term flexibility
- ✓ Start lean, scale smart — pay only for I/O you need, add modules as demand grows to 200 points
- ✓ Arduino IDE — free, open-source with thousands of community libraries and global developer support
- ✓ Built-in 4G LTE, Wi-Fi & Ethernet — complete industrial IoT connectivity, zero add-ons required
- ✓ Native MQTT & HTTP — connect to AWS IoT, Azure, or any MQTT broker out of the box
- ✓ OTA wireless firmware updates — push updates remotely, eliminating costly maintenance visits
- ✓ Fully open architecture — customise logic, branding, and integration for any OEM application
Core Capabilities
Everything Built In. Nothing Bolted On.
Every NORVI X ships with industry-critical capabilities that cost extra on traditional PLC platforms.
ESP32-S3 Dual-Core Processor
ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U-N16R2 running at 160 MHz with 16 MB flash and 2 MB PSRAM. Handles complex industrial logic, edge computing, and multi-protocol communication simultaneously.
Hot-Swappable Expansion
Add digital, analog, relay, thermocouple, and RTD modules without powering down. I²C addressing supports distributed architecture across panel zones with up to 200 total I/O points.
4G LTE, Wi-Fi & Ethernet
Choose SIMCOM A7672 for IoT-grade cellular or Quectel EC25 for high-speed 4G. Combined with 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi and Ethernet for triple-redundant industrial connectivity.
TFT Touchscreen Display
Integrated colour TFT display with touch input for on-device HMI dashboards, system configuration, and real-time status monitoring — no separate HMI panel required.
Built-in RS-485 / Modbus RTU
Native RS-485 interface enables direct Modbus RTU communication with sensors, VFDs, meters, and legacy industrial equipment. No additional communication card needed.
DS3231 Precision RTC
High-accuracy real-time clock maintains timestamps during power outages — critical for scheduled automation, data logging, and industrial compliance audit trails.
