Learn how to leverage your PLC programming skills on groov EPIC with CODESYS.

Are you ready to write a control program for your groov EPIC, but unsure where to begin?

Good news: your PLC programming background gives you a head start—especially if you choose to work with CODESYS, one of the three control programming options available on groov EPIC.

Find out how to use the PC-based CODESYS Development System to create and compile IEC 61131-3 programs that you might already be familiar with.

Hear first hand how smoothly and powerfully a groov EPIC controller lends itself to the commissioning process.

Now and then, I get signed up to do something different. Most of us have that clause in our job descriptions: "or any other duties as directed." 😁

In this case, I assembled a cabinet with a groov EPIC on a chassis four rack. The four I/O modules were a mix with a total of 30 channels.

Of course, after the wiring was done, a sanity check was in order—or, said another way, a point-by-point check that everything was working as it should have been. Sounds tedious, right? Follow along...

Tune in to the latest episode of Unplugged: An IIoT Podcast to get insights on IIoT technology and how to make it work for everyone—not just the tech savvy.

Join IIoT podcast host Phil Seboa for another interesting discussion about the IIoT and its effect on several aspects of your daily life. His guest in the latest episode is Opto 22's Benson Hougland. 

Benson brings his 30 years of experience in industrial automation and IoT to discuss the benefits of IIoT, how he got started in home and industrial automation, the importance of interoperability, and his experiences from the recent ProveIt! tech conference.

Listen in for some valuable insights and tips to get started on your automation project—either at home or at work.

Watch our live demo–recorded from the ProveIt! Conference–to see how brownfield and greenfield assets integrate into a Unified Namespace (UNS) to give you a competitive edge.

We attended the first annual ProveIt! Conference on February 18-20th in Dallas, Texas. This brand new conference was unique—because instead of just setting up a booth and talking about our solutions, we were required to prove it live on stage! 

Listen in on a conversation from this year's ProveIt! conference as Benson Hougland discusses the why and how of securely moving data from OT to IT systems with the Manufacturing Hub podcast.

Have you tuned in to the Manufacturing Hub podcast yet? It's an educational show hosted by two longtime industrial practitioners—Dave Griffith and Vladimir Romanov. They asked Opto 22's Benson Hougland for a sit down discussion at this year's ProveIt! conference in Dallas, where several topics were covered.

What types of solutions are readily available for manufacturers to start their digital transformation? What are the most common challenges and roadblocks? What does the future look like in terms of product features?

And most importantly, was Opto 22 able to prove a viable solution on stage at the ProveIt conference?
