The groov RIO MM2 has been announced as a finalist for Control Engineering magazine's annual awards program.
It's that time of year again! Control Engineering just revealed their line up of new products that represent some of this year's best innovations in control, instrumentation and automation. Products fall under 19 different categories ranging from hardware, IIoT, machine control, and motion control, to network integration, power, process control, safety and software.
We're pleased to announce that Opto 22's second groov RIO model (GRV-R7-MM2001-10) has been named a finalist in the I/O & Networking Edge Computing category. Now it's up to engineering and automation professionals like yourself to cast your votes and determine the 2022 winners.
groov RIO® revolutionizes remote I/O by offering over 200,000 unique, software-configurable I/O combinations in a single, compact, PoE-powered industrial package with web-based configuration, commissioning, and IIoT software built in, plus support for multiple OT and IT protocols.
What's different about this groov RIO?
The GRV-R7-MM2001-10 provides more RAM and storage than its pioneering predecessor (GRV-R7-MM1001-10) to support the full range of features offered with the pre-installed Ignition Edge® version 8 software (a product of Inductive Automation®). You can use either
Ignition 8 or Ignition Edge 8 on a trial basis for two hours at a time, and you can restart the trial as often as you want. To fully use Ignition Edge, purchase an Ignition Edge license, part number GROOV-LIC-EDGE8. (To fully use Ignition 8, contact us for licensing information.)
