groov® EPIC System
About groov® EPIC System
The world's first Edge Programmable Industrial Controller.
Introducing the groov® EPIC System from Opto 22. Now you can collect, process, view, and exchange data where it’s produced—at the edge of the network. When you work with data at the edge, you don’t have to worry about latency, and you have one single source of truth. Securely share data among databases, cloud platforms, web services, PLC systems, and other systems and equipment, using open, modern communication standards. Built-in security features include configurable device firewall, VPN, encryption, user authentication, and more. See how groov® EPIC fits in your system architecture. Connect with legacy PLCs and much more using Ignition Edge® or full Ignition from Inductive Automation®. Move data efficiently, decrease network load, and reduce IT reliance by using MQTT publish/subscribe communications. Visualise data on the controller’s integral touchscreen, an external HDMI monitor, or from any web browser or mobile device.
Why choose groov® EPIC®?
Simpler, less expensive, more secure.
An edge-programmable industrial controller, groov® EPIC is far more than a traditional PLC or PAC. In fact, Opto 22 designed it from the ground up as both a reliable real-time controller and a powerful data processor. Moreover, it collects, processes, displays, and exchanges data efficiently. As a result, EPIC ensures seamless operation across diverse industrial systems.
In addition, it talks directly to field devices, other control systems, databases, and cloud services—among many others. Ultimately, EPIC helps address the key challenges of complexity, security, and cost.
More power, more possibilities.
From a state-of-the-art quad-core processor to guaranteed-for-life I/O, groov® EPIC hardware delivers exceptional performance. Backed by Opto 22’s 45 years of automation expertise, it includes everything you’d expect—and much more.
Furthermore, groov® EPIC offers guaranteed-for-life I/O and a flexible Linux®-based processor with built-in gateway functions. It also includes a high-resolution touchscreen, two independent network interfaces, USB ports, and an HDMI output. What’s more, it comes with powerful software like control programming and groov® View for device-independent HMI. Additionally, it includes Node-RED for easy data flows and Ignition Edge® for OPC-UA drivers and MQTT/Sparkplug support.
