Don't miss your chance for hands-on edge controller instruction & tips for choosing the best programming options for your control applications.

In-person training sessions at Opto 22 headquarters help you expand your skill set and find easier ways to meet your application challenges. We only have a few classes left this year and seats are filling up fast! 

Learn system components and configuration, networking capabilities, diagnostics, troubleshooting, and communication methods that you can apply to your own industrial automation application. You might just build a complete solution before you leave! And now is the time to reserve your spot.

Hear what this month's students had to say about their groov EPIC training experience. Then register to join us for the next class!

We welcomed students from across the country (Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, New Hampshire, and North Carolina) to 4 days of immersion in the groov EPIC system—learning all its features, capabilities, and programming options. Their Opto experience ranged from almost 30 years to first-time users. Most of the students were looking for secure access to plant data. And more of our students are adopting MQTT and Node-RED in their applications, along with secure shell (SSH).

Rest assured, our Opto 22 instructors are committed to helping each student succeed—no matter your years of experience, skill level, range of interests, or goals. This most recent group of students took it to another level...requesting to stay after class to ask more questions and get one-on-one input from the instructors. Our staff is happy to help!

And each class gets a personal, guided tour of the Opto 22 manufacturing plant, so you can see first hand how these EPIC products are made.

If you haven't attended training yet, we hope you can join us at one of our upcoming classes.

And there's also plenty to do and see in Temecula, CA while you're not in class. Make the most of your visit!
