New website resources outline how to securely access and share your energy data.

Opto 22 gives you lots of options when it comes to helping you monitor your power and energy usage.  The groov RIO EMU (energy monitoring unit) is an edge I/O module meant for easy distributed power and energy monitoring of one 3-phase load. Check out our previous announcements for all the details.

However, for monitoring multiple loads located near each other, and for a complete system including real-time control, groov EPIC with power monitoring modules might be the better choice.

But, you might have more questions about which is the right solution for you, why and how do you get started monitoring your machine health or energy data? And how do you do it securely?

Check out our new website resources for some guidance on these important energy topics.

Follow along in this new developer series video as Terry Orchard guides you through storing and passing data in a Node-RED flow.

What if you need to snapshot a message from a very specific part of a Node-RED flow?

For those of you who've been using the Node-RED programming tool or are just getting started, Terry's latest video provides some guidance on storing data. In a Node-RED flow, each node can add to, modify, or delete data in different ways.

Watch the recorded presentation from the Spring 2022 CODESYS Tech Talk and see a real-world application using groov EPIC and the CODESYS runtime engine.

If you missed attending the virtual CODESYS Tech Talk earlier this month. now you can watch the Opto 22 presentation on demand.

Opto 22's Benson Hougland, Senior Application Engineer Garrick Reichert, and Allen Ray of Integrate Controls and Automation present a current CODESYS in-the-field application. 

Opto 22 UK distributor System Devices will be featuring groov EPIC and groov RIO at the upcoming Drives and Controls 2022 exhibition.

As the industrial automation industry returns to live, in-person events. we are pleased to announce that System Devices will be exhibiting at next week's Drives & Controls event in Birmingham (United Kingdom). System Devices is a long-time distributor of Opto 22 products as well as being certified IoT OptoPartners and trainers.

Want to get started with MQTT today? Ian Skerrett of HiveMQ shows you how, as our guest series on the open automation ecosystem continues.

Many companies are turning to MQTT and Sparkplug to simplify the process of acquiring their industrial data. MQTT provides lightweight, publish/subscribe communication that allows you to decouple hardware from software. By removing these dependencies, you can also remove the data silos that have existed in many industrial deployments. Sparkplug provides a common format for industrial operators to send data that can be processed by different applications. The openness and data interoperability of Sparkplug makes it possible to start implementing many IIoT use cases.

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.

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?

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!

Follow this new cybersecurity video series demonstrating key product features that keep your systems safe.

Terry Orchard is back in the OptoDemo studio and delivering some valuable content you don't want to miss! His latest developer video series takes a closer look at using self-signed certificates with your groov EPIC or groov RIO devices.

The goal is to ensure both trusted and encrypted connections—another way groov products deliver cybersecurity right out of the box.
