You might think we have a sleeper menu feature for this week’s blog: only two buttons behind the Controller groov Manage menu option. Boring, right? Far from it! This is amazing!
The fact that you can even choose between two control engine options is worth a pause. Learn what’s possible in this week’s groov Manage: Controller video.
Another full class means word is getting out, and classroom PLC training is in demand. Are you considering a system upgrade or just curious how groov EPIC compares to other systems you’ve used? Do you need help configuring and programming hardware and software for your industrial automation or IIoT application?
Then consider spending a week with us at Opto 22 headquarters learning all the programming options and features of groov EPIC, the Edge Programmable Industrial Controller.
July’s group of students represented a variety of industries and provided some great feedback on their training experience. Take a look at what they said.
Our groov devices are much more than just industrially hardened, cybersecure devices—they also have abundant I/O options. In the case of the groov RIO, the 10 channels provide over 200,000 I/O combinations! This flexibility is also easy to drop into the groov EPIC chassis with the MM module. So, how can you configure, wire, and commission all this?
To get a glimpse, take a look at this week’s groov Manage teaser video: I/O Status.
Last week, Opto 22’s Benson Hougland joined the IntegrateLive! team for another hands-on project.
Sarah Sonnier and Jessica Williams from SiteSync also joined, to focus on using a groov EPIC and the SiteSync MultiTech gateway to set up a full LoRaWAN network stack. (LoRaWAN is a low-power, wide area networking protocol built on top of the LoRa radio modulation technique.)
The setup included a LoRaWAN Network Server, Join Server, and Application Server. Curious how it turned out? Watch the live demo.
This week brings you the fourth installment of walking through the groov Manage menu options found on a groov EPIC. In case you missed it, you might want to catch up on the previous three menu options we’ve covered so far: Accounts, Network, and System. Now, you’ll be ready to dive into the Security features.
Watch groov Manage: Security.
With browser-based groov View, you can easily build an operator interface to see and interact with exactly what you need. groov View is included with groov EPIC and groov Server for Windows.
To help you get up and running in no time at all, we’ve put together a new video that takes you through 3 simple steps of setting up an HMI with groov View. This is a quick, high-level overview presentation designed to get you started and more comfortable with the tool.
Watch and learn: groov View Quick Start.
Over the past few weeks we’ve been taking a peek behind each of the main groov Manage menu options, both in a quick video and here in this blog. This week we are going to be jumping into the System menu.
Watch groov Manage: System.
One of the most important manufacturing industry innovations has been the concept of OEE or Overall Equipment Effectiveness. OEE can help just about any manufacturing and production line in the world.
If you’re looking to improve your OEE metrics and boost productivity, this webinar our friends at HiveMQ and 4IR Solutions put together is a must-watch.
Experts from HiveMQ, 4IR, and Riveron guide you through the process of implementing, measuring, and improving OEE, even if you’re starting from scratch.
If you’ve used a groov EPIC controller before, you’re familiar with its 12 front-page menu buttons. But what power does each unlock?
This 12-part groov Manage video series takes a deep dive into each home screen menu button, and our blog posts expand on the video. The simple blue menu contains a surprising amount of flexibility and granular control over the many programs and functions that each groov EPIC can run.
Last week we covered the Accounts button. Now let’s move on to groov Manage: Network.
Did you know that there are 12 front-page menu buttons on groov EPIC? What power does each unlock?
groov customers say that the simple blue menu of groov Manage is very deceiving given its power, flexibility, and granular control over the many programs and functions that each groov EPIC can run.
Today you can see the first of a new 12-part video series on the groov Manage menu. Over the next 12 weeks we’ll feature 12 videos and blog some specifics of each menu option—and the power that lies beneath. Be sure to subscribe to this blog in the top right corner of this page so you’ll be notified when we release the next video in the series.
Let’s get started with groov Manage: Accounts.
