Opto 22 groov EPIC System

Opto 22 groov Edge Programmable Industrial Controller (EPIC) System offers guaranteed-for-life discrete and analog I/O modules, a flexible Linux®-based controller with gateway functions, a high-resolution touchscreen, two independent network interfaces, USB and HDMI ports, and software. The software includes control programming, groov View for device-independent HMI, Node-RED for simple data flows, and Ignition Edge® for OPC-UA drivers and MQTT/Sparkplug communications. This system collects, processes, views, and exchanges data where it's produced—at the edge of the network. Users can securely share data among databases, cloud services, Allen-Bradley® and Siemens® PLC systems, and other equipment. Opto 22 groov EPIC System is programmable and ideal for industrial applications such as plant floors, remote sites, and hazardous locations.
