Posted by Janice Colmer on Aug 6, 2024 12:06:03 PM

The latest episode of The Automation Podcast walks you through a product demo that shows you what's possible with today's edge controllers.

If your applications are starting to require more than just the traditional PLC, here's an opportunity to get an "under the hood" look at the groov EPIC (Edge Programmable Industrial Controller) and groov RIO edge I/O. 

Opto 22's Director of Technical Marketing, Dan White, was recently asked to be a guest on The Automation Podcast. This podcast is one of the many resources hosted by Shawn Tierney on the Automation Blog website, along with his weekly Automation news show on LinkedIn.

Shawn knows his audience well and asks the questions that you want answered about new technologies and how they are used in the industrial automation space. Dan is eager to teach and help you make informed decisions about how to solve your automation problems.

In just under an hour, you'll get a better understanding of how groov EPIC and RIO give you new tools for your projects. Watch and learn.

Dan walks you through the hardware features as well as the groov Manage home screen and what's behind it. He points out built-in cybersecurity tools along the way. You'll also find helpful tips on: 

  • PAC Control programming software
  • CODESYS for programming in IEC 61131-3 languages
  • I/O configuration & wiring
  • Data Services
  • Node-RED
  • Ignition
  • groov View HMI

Then switch gears to a demo of groov RIO—I/O for the IIoT.

And stay tuned until the end for some extra website resources you'll want to try out. We hope this podcast will inspire you to learn more.

Thanks for watching!
