Did you miss last week's webinar? Or just need to review it again? Inductive Automation's Simple Steps for Enterprise Digital Transformation is now available for on-demand viewing, featuring Opto 22's groov EPIC and the soon-to-be-released
groov RIO as a platform for edge data collection and Ignition I/O.

Follow along with Vladimir Romanov of SolisPLC as he starts an EPIC video series that takes a deep dive into groov EPIC.

In the world of industrial controls and automation, we all have our go-to resources for getting the latest product news. You probably have your favorite websites, blogs, social media channels, or e-newsletters that you depend on for industry information. Well, you might want to add Vlad Romanov to your list as well.

A new webinar, hosted by Cirrus Link Solutions, explores the tools used to build an IIoT solution with Ignition and MQTT — both part of the groov EPIC system.

Virtual events have become a necessity in today's business environment, and you'll want to add this upcoming webinar to your schedule. 

Opto 22 is teaming up with Inductive Automation to present practical solutions for leveraging data across your enterprise.

Another groov I/O module was just released as the groov EPIC system continues to expand.

We've just added GRV-IVIRMS-10 to our growing list of I/O options for
groov EPIC.

As the latest addition to the family of analog voltage input modules, GRV-IVIRMS-10 provides true RMS (root mean square) voltage monitoring for 10 inputs up to 300 VAC/VDC with channel-to-channel isolation and 20-bit resolution. True RMS calculation is critical for non-sinusoidal power monitoring applications such as variable speed drives (VSD), heating controls, computers, HVAC, and solid-state components where typical peak measurement averaging can under- or over-shoot actual voltage by 5 - 40%.

In part 2 of our series, we look at how to set up groov Manage and Ignition Edge for publishing with Sparkplug B payloads.

MQTT is the darling of enterprise IoT because of its efficiency, simplicity, and flexibility, which makes it ideal for use in applications that communicate with resource-constrained edge-of-network devices. After being nurtured for years within IBM, and incorporated into their smart energy, health, and utilities solutions, MQTT has become the chosen messaging protocol across all the major cloud IoT platforms as well as highly scalable applications, like Facebook Messenger.

You’ve heard the rumors. Now, as an OptoBlog subscriber, you can be first in line...

Coming next month: groov RIO®, a new family of intelligent, standalone, Ethernet-based, PoE-powered, remote I/O units for IIoT and automation applications.
