But then other times you find yourself thrown into the mix as the sales estimator—asked to come up with a budgetary number for a project—or you’re deemed the “IT” person for a project.

We've recently heard about possible problems with shipments of industrial hardware to the European Union.

To prevent delays in Customs, we recommend you use the **new CE DoCs** we have created for shipments to EU countries.

Now let's take a look at when you might want to use each, and why. ## Request-response: proven and reliable In a request-response architecture, each client opens a direct connection to each server, because the client requests data directly from the server. In automation, typically clients are PCs and servers are PLCs or PACs. So each PC opens a direct connection to each PLC or PAC from which it needs data.  [Read More](https://blog.opto22.com/optoblog/request-response-vs-pub-sub-part-2) 2 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.opto22.com/optoblog/request-response-vs-pub-sub-part-2#comments-listing) Topics: [groov](https://blog.opto22.com/optoblog/topic/groov), [Internet of Things](https://blog.opto22.com/optoblog/topic/internet-of-things), [Remote monitoring](https://blog.opto22.com/optoblog/topic/remote-monitoring), [IoT](https://blog.opto22.com/optoblog/topic/iot), [Machine builder](https://blog.opto22.com/optoblog/topic/machine-builder), [OEM](https://blog.opto22.com/optoblog/topic/oem), [Integrators](https://blog.opto22.com/optoblog/topic/integrators), [Networking](https://blog.opto22.com/optoblog/topic/networking), [IIoT](https://blog.opto22.com/optoblog/topic/iiot), [Industrial Internet of Things](https://blog.opto22.com/optoblog/topic/industrial-internet-of-things), [Data acquisition](https://blog.opto22.com/optoblog/topic/data-acquisition), [MQTT](https://blog.opto22.com/optoblog/topic/mqtt), [Ignition Edge](https://blog.opto22.com/optoblog/topic/ignition-edge), [EPIC](https://blog.opto22.com/optoblog/topic/epic) ## [groov EPIC data sheets now available](https://blog.opto22.com/optoblog/preliminary-groov-epic-data-sheets-now-available) Posted by [Jean Femia](https://blog.opto22.com/optoblog/author/jean-femia) on Feb 15, 2018, 10:10:52 AM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blog.opto22.com/hubfs/social-suggested-images/groovEPIC-8-front-300dpi-300x200.png)](https://blog.opto22.com/optoblog/preliminary-groov-epic-data-sheets-now-available) You've been asking for more details about our [brand-new *groov* EPIC® system](https://blog.opto22.com/optoblog/youre-the-first-to-know-about-our-epic-announcement) for the IIoT and automation, and here they are!  We just published a part numbers list and the first several data sheets, with preliminary descriptions, specs, wiring diagrams, and dimensions.
