We're excited that Opto 22's groov EPIC (Edge Programmable Industrial Controller) is once again in the running for an Engineers' Choice award!
Major new features were added to the groov EPIC controller this year, making it a repeat contender:
1 - Programming options now include IEC 61131-3 compliant languages like:
2 - For greater security in data communications, you can now connect the GRV-EPIC-PR1 to a virtual private network (VPN), and configure the EPIC as a client to connect to an OpenVPN server.
