Tips when using PAC Project with groov View, MQTT, Node-RED, RESTful API, and more

Are you wondering what else you can do to improve your PAC Project system’s performance? Did you optimize your SNAP PAC system and apply the same techniques to your groov EPIC system? There may be some other options you might not think of, like these:

Whether you’re running an edge device like groov EPIC or a classic SNAP PAC system, performance optimization is a balance among logic, I/O communication, and HMI responsiveness. You might find some time savers in the Optimizing PAC Project System Performance technical note.

Here are a few highlights from the tech note.

Learn step-by-step how to build your browser-based operator interface and securely access it with any mobile device or from a remote location.

Do you need secure, mobile access to a process?

Maybe you want to see live video, confirm alarms, or verify what happened during an event. Or you just want your team to monitor a process without being tied to a control room. Now you can learn an easy way to create your HMI—for free.

groov EPIC OPC UA Server makes it easy to access your data; lessons on OptoU show you how

Do you need access to your PAC Control strategy variables and I/O, or data from the memory map area on your groov EPIC? Do you want to connect to OPC UA client applications such as SCADA, MES, or enterprise software?

groov EPIC is now serving up this data securely and reliably with its built-in groov EPIC OPC UA Server. Publish the data where you need it.

In this post, we’ll go over exactly what data is accessible from the server, the basics of configuring the server, and some examples of how you can use it. And when you’re ready to work with the OPC UA server, you can find step-by-step instructions in the groov EPIC OPC UA courses on OptoU.

groov EPIC becomes a Modbus master/client with a few easy lessons.

With Modbus continuing to be a popular protocol for industrial devices, the chances are pretty good you will need to write a program to communicate with Modbus slave/server devices more than a few times. The groov EPIC controller offers several Modbus communication options, and CODESYS, an IEC 61131-3 compliant development environment, is one of them.

With your PLC programming experience and the Using groov EPIC as a Modbus Master in CODESYS course on OptoU, creating a CODESYS project with Modbus master functions will be a breeze.

Ver y aprender que significa tener un sistema de control industrial seguro.

Hace tiempo que se sabe que la automatización industrial viene con vulnerabilidades en la tecnología y en práctica. Los PLCs de antes no fueron diseñados para las conexiones de redes LAN no confiables o para el internet. Y la contraseña escrita en una nota ya no es suficiente para la política de seguridad de hoy en día. Así es que, ¿cuál es la solución?

Use your PLC programming experience to program groov EPIC.

Ready to write a control program for your groov EPIC, but not sure how to get started? With three options to write your control program–PAC Control, the easy-to-learn flowchart language, the Linux-based Secure Shell (SSH) to run your custom program, and CODESYS, an IEC-61131-3 compliant language–which do you choose?
