It's easy to access wiring diagrams directly through the groov Manage home page on groov EPIC or RIO.

Have you ever been wiring up one of the I/O modules on your groov EPIC and you can't remember which port that wire goes into? Good news....you can quickly find the answer by viewing the wiring diagram through your browser or the groov EPIC processor's touchscreen.

Here are some scenarios where you can use groov Manage to see some handy specs and wiring diagrams.

Opto 22 receives the 2022 Frost & Sullivan Enabling Technology Leadership Award

We're honored to share the exciting news that the edge technology included in groov EPIC controllers and groov RIO edge I/O modules has earned Opto 22 a special recognition!

Don't miss Opto 22's product solution demo during the virtual portion of the tenth annual ICC conference.

The annual Ignition Community Conference continues to grow in popularity each year, as this year's in-person event has already sold out. But, if you were unable to score a ticket, we have good news! 

A virtual ICC is also happening October 3 - 5th, with several opportunities to see what you missed at the live event, as well as a new schedule of product solution demos to check out.

The latest video in our developer series is a quick-start guide for setting up OPC UA on groov RIO.

You heard it here first a few weeks ago in the OptoBlog! groov RIO is the first universal Ethernet I/O module with an embedded OPC UA server. Now you can connect your favorite OPC UA-compatible SCADA or HMI software directly to your multi-signal, multifunction Ethernet I/O System. 

Terry Orchard shows you how simple it is. In his latest developer video, learn how to set up an OPC UA server on groov RIO to accept connections from OPC UA clients and request groov data.

See how to quickly read groov RIO data into the Ignition Exchange tag database

With software-configurable I/O, like that on the groov RIO MM1 and MM2, it’s easier than ever to instrument all your devices for control and reading back real-world data. To help you take the next step of getting that data somewhere meaningful, this post will summarize a new Ignition Exchange project for reading data from one or more groov RIO modules into your Ignition tag database.

Posted by MartinCSI, an IoT-certified OptoPartner, this project makes it trivial to dynamically get tag data into the Ignition tag database, display it on Vision pages, and link it to other projects and providers where you can then do whatever you need.

A quick fix update was just released for groov RIO, version 3.4.1.

As an OptoBlog subscriber, you're always the first to hear about product news or firmware updates. This time we have another recent release for groov RIO to tell you about.

Come along on a houseboat trip to Lake Powell to see what's possible when you bring a groov RIO and SpaceX Starlink on vacation.

Opto 22's VP of Product Strategy, Benson Hougland, has often described Lake Powell (which stretches from southern Utah to northern Arizona) as one of his favorite vacation destinations. A houseboat vacation has become a family tradition that always took him "off the grid" for a week. This year was a different story.

With a groov RIO edge I/O module outfitted with some temperature sensors, and the convenience of a Space X Starlink satellite internet system on board, this year's trip made for some memorable moments in remote automation.

Join Opto 22 at the next IntegrateLive! virtual workshop to discover better ways to maintain critical infrastructure.

Opto 22 is once again participating in an important demonstration of different industry technologies working together. IntegrateLive! returns this month with a new episode highlighting machine learning. 

You'll see product demos and presentations from Canary, HiveMQ, Avadine, APERIO and Opto 22...all working together!

The annual Ignition Community Conference is celebrating its 10th year with a return to an in-person event as well as a virtual option.
