The DMC Inc. guest blog series wraps up with Part 3—as project engineer Natalie Pippolo explores the PLC functionality of a groov EPIC controller.

Did you know groov EPIC includes several programming options like PAC Control, Node-RED and CODESYS? 

In Part 3 of the DMC Engineering's guest blog, Natalie Pippolo returns to show you how to develop a simple program using CODESYS on groov EPIC.

Follow along as she walks you through each step of the configuration.

Follow along with Part 2 of the DMC Inc. guest blog series as Natalie Pippolo demonstrates configuring Ignition Edge—installed on every groov EPIC controller.

Are you curious how Ignition Edge software works on groov EPIC and what types of applications it's useful for?

DMC's project engineer Natalie Pippolo returns this week with part 2 of her 3-part guest blog series here on the OptoBlog.

Follow along as she walks you through her experience with configuring Ignition Edge on groov EPIC:

New Control Global article shows you how to automate process data collection and monitoring in highly isolated locations.

Have you ever thought it would be possible to move data from the Amazon jungle to the cloud?

You can see a real working example of how it was achieved with Ignition Edge software, groov RIO hardware, and Azure Cloud. Get all the details in Jim Montague's recent article in Control Global.

If you're in the industrial automation field, you'll want to hear about the annual ARC Forum that keeps you thinking ahead.

If you didn’t make it to the 29th Annual ARC Industry Forum, you missed out. But this blog post will get you up to speed!

Here’s what went down and why this event continues to matter:

Learn from the City of Morro Bay's dynamic operations and see how your systems could be adapted for real-time data.

Managing multiple control systems doesn’t have to be a headache. When Operational Technology Specialist Grant Chase went to work in Morro Bay, California, he found a utilities infrastructure in need of unification and stability. 

The city’s water and wastewater control systems were a patchwork of different technologies—some dating back decades.

Grant was determined to rebuild a standardized operation with key security controls in place to protect critical infrastructure. See how edge controller technology played a prominent role in getting operators working smoothly on one platform to visualize data across all processes.

See how Edge Controls introduced a standardized interface and hardware solution for legacy equipment.

What are some of your current application challenges? Mixed control systems? Differing protocols and interfaces on your machinery? Or are you simply trying to reach predictive maintenance for your operations?

If any of this sounds familiar, then this standout application story from the 2024 Ignition Community Conference Discover Gallery can offer some guidance.

Stonehill Environmental Partners asked OptoPartner Edge Controls to help them regain their competitiveness by implementing a new SCADA system that would address their legacy equipment challenges. See what happened next.

OptoPartner Enginuity shares a recent application success story in the healthcare industry—demonstrating how to quickly scale up production to meet new demand.

Welcome back Daniel Baugh of Enginuity Inc., an IIoT-certified OptoPartner, as he returns as a guest blogger to share some insights on the company's recent groov  RIO application.

It's a great story of how a small company was able to achieve large-scale production goals. See how Enginuity and groov RIO helped meet increased demand in the gut biome sector of the healthcare industry.

Get a recap of all the adventures that made last week's Ignition Community Conference a memorable occasion for all attendees.
