It's the end of an era for Opto 22's original SNAP Ethernet I/O

First introduced in 1998, the venerable SNAP-B3000-ENET was the genesis of our SNAP Ethernet I/O line. Genuinely industry-changing when we first launched it, now, we regret to announce that Opto 22 is nearing the end of production for this flagship legacy product.

As you know, we always continue producing older products as long as technically possible (see Opto 22's product philosophy). But unfortunately, we are once again faced with the unavailability of essential parts that make up the original Ethernet I/O. Although limited inventory is still available, SNAP-B3000-ENET will become obsolete once current stock is depleted.

Una serie de webinars patrocinado por Procetradi en Perú resalta casos de éxito en aguas y minas, la ciberseguridad, y las características de la Industria 4.0 ya integradas en los productos de groov.

El mes pasado, Opto 22 participó en una serie de webinars patrocinado por Procetradi, nuestro OptoPartner en Perú. Los eventos fueron muy concurridos, llenos de excelentes preguntas y respuestas, y todos los webinars fueron grabados y colocados en el canal de YouTube de Procetradi. Los cuatro webinars están aquí abajo y fueron entregados tanto por René Gamero, Gerente para Latinoamérica y por Norma Rodríguez, Directora de Capacitación Técnica.

Intrinsics Imaging’s AI-powered vision system uses groov RIO to connect the cloud to the edge.

Machine vision systems can recognize superficial aberrations in manufactured goods—like lines, spots, holes, color discrepancies, and more—that would typically require time-consuming manual inspection. California-based Intrinsics Imaging solves this problem with its Heijunka Vision analytics-as-a-service software. But when Intrinsics was approached by a customer hoping to integrate Heijunka directly into process controls, it looked to Opto 22’s groov RIO edge I/O for a way to connect the cloud to the edge.

Join Opto 22 and a team of presenters for a virtual discussion of how to Turn Your Data into Asset Models.

The International Society of Automation (ISA) is hosting a series of free virtual events with a focus on IIoT and Smart Manufacturing. Opto 22's Benson Hougland will be presenting at the next webinar: Turn Your Data into Asset Models. Please join us on March 15th at 10:00 am PDT.

Attend the "CODESYS in the field" presentation at the Spring 2022 CODESYS Tech Talk.

The Spring 2022 CODESYS Tech Talk returns! As the only event dedicated exclusively to CODESYS users in the United States, Canada and Mexico, the Tech Talk focuses on the latest and exciting innovations in all areas related to the engineering of control systems. 

This 5 day virtual event is your chance to learn, engage and discuss tech innovations and engineering in real-time. Join the discussions with CODESYS experts and delve into the CODESYS cloud-based platform, the CODESYS software architecture, and the various Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) possibilities.

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?

Nathan Field of Ascend Data Tech joins our guest series to explain why and how you should put your process data into a distributed ledger

Blockchain is a revolutionary technology, increasingly ready to change the landscape of business, everything from finance to supply chain. As you set forth into the path of Industry 4.0, you should take stock of how you could integrate blockchain into your own processes. Let's talk about how to know when it could benefit your process and how Opto 22's groov series can help you succeed.

The Opto 22 network of system integrators continues to grow in 2022.

We're excited to report we have more business partners that have earned the OptoPartner seal of approval. They have proven their engineering expertise and in-depth understanding of Opto 22 hardware (including groov EPIC) and software and have already used it to help customers find ideal automation and IIoT solutions. As in previous blog posts, we asked our new partners to share a quick overview of their company with you.

Small in size but loaded with data and connectivity options.

Hopefully, you caught our two previous related blog posts on the technical details of the groov EPIC Power Module, and the recent announcement of the new groov RIO EMU. 

In this blog post, I’ll focus on the unique features of the RIO EMU as a distributed power and energy monitoring device, plus so much more.

Remote I/O over MQTT helps Rust Automation deploy affordable remote monitoring in a challenging environment.

Did you watch the Fall CODESYS Tech Talk virtual event that we shared with you last October? It demonstrated how the CODESYS runtime engine works and why it's included on Opto 22's groov EPIC.

Jared Bates, from OptoPartner Rust Automation & Controls, joined us for that presentation. He discussed a current water management application that utilizes CODESYS on EPIC, groov RIO remote I/O, and MQTT for secure data communications. 

Now, we've put the story of all that cutting-edge technology into a case study, so you can dig into all the details!
