Edge Programmable Industrial Controller and I/O

 

The groov EPIC system provides reliable real-time control where and when you need it.

   
   

Controller

Opto 22 EPIC controller with color touchscreen
  • Integrated high-resolution color touchscreen for on-board I/O and network configuration, commissioning, and troubleshooting; no PC required
  • Real-time, open-source Linux® OS running on an industrial quad-core ARM® processor; industrial solid-state drive
  • Control programming options: flowchart-based PAC Control with optional scripting or CODESYS and IEC 61131-3 languages including ladder logic
  • Built-in software including Node-RED for simple logic flows, MQTT for efficient data communication, groov View HMI, and Inductive Automation's Ignition or Ignition Edge
  • Optional secure shell access (SSH) for your own custom-developed application
  • Dual, independent Gigabit Ethernet network interfaces 
  • Dual USB ports for external keyboard/mouse, WiFi adapter, serial adapter, approved USB Bluetooth adapter, or USB memory stick to 32 GB 
  • HDMI output for optional external monitor
  • Remote system configuration, troubleshooting, and visualization from any web browser on any authorized device
  • RESTful API to controller data
  • Multiple power supply options including AC, DC, and pass-through
Made in the USAAll groov EPIC system products are manufactured and supported in the U.S.A. Product support is free.
