groov is Opto 22’s web-based Internet of Things (IoT) and operator interface system that is simple, mobile, and connects easily to automation systems, software, databases, and devices of all kinds.
You build your mobile interface—your own custom mobile app—using any computer with a web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, IE10). No programming or coding is required. You can mix devices and equipment from different manufacturers in the same interface if you wish.
The interface you build can be used on an Apple or Android mobile device with the free groov View app. Or you can view the same interface on any brand computer or device with a modern web browser—even a web-enabled HDTV.
GROOV-SVR-WIN-BASE is installed on a Microsoft Windows computer (see Specifications for details) and runs as a service. The groov software is stored and served on the Windows PC.
GROOV-SVR-WIN-BASE provides the groov Solo platform. groov Solo lets you monitor and control one of the following:
– one Modbus/TCP device
– one Opto 22 SNAP PAC controller (SNAP PAC R-series, S-series, or SoftPAC)
– one groov Data Store (a database, cloud service, or API can write data to or read data from the store)
– one OptoEMU Sensor energy monitoring unit
No intermediary servers or protocol converters are required.
