Program your groov product for industrial control and monitoring using any familiar IEC 61131-3 compliant language and the CODESYS Development System.

The IEC 61131-3 standard includes several languages, some of which you may already know. groov EPIC and groov RIO (with firmware 3.5.0 and higher) support all IEC 61131-3 compliant languages, including:

• Function Block Diagram (FBD)
• Structured Text (ST)
• Sequential Function Charts (SFC)
• Ladder Diagram (LD)

Choose the language or languages that work best for your application.

Best of all, you can combine any of these languages for control with many of the other software tools available in your groov EPIC or groov RIO—like Node-RED and Ignition or Ignition Edge—in order to do everything you need to on a single edge device.

You’ll use the PC-based CODESYS Development System V3 to create and compile IEC 61131-3 programs for download to a pre-installed CODESYS Runtime running on groov EPIC.

The CODESYS Development System is available at no charge from the CODESYS Store. To enable the CODESYS Runtime for your groov product, order a CODESYS license:

• For groov EPIC: GROOV-LIC-CRE (no charge)
• For groov RIO: GROOV-LIC-CRE-RIO (requires purchase)

Then follow licensing steps in the groov EPIC User's Guide, the groov RIO Universal I/O User's Guide, or the groov RIO EMU User's Guide.
