I once heard the phrase, "even a Cadillac will fail prematurely if you drive it into a brick wall." Premature failure of the machinery (regardless of whose fault) can tarnish the image of the manufacturer, lead to increased warranty costs, and create tension between OEMs and end users. But how do I (the machine builder) get access to the control system if it is operating inside a customer’s firewall?  [Read More](https://blog.opto22.com/optoblog/outbound-monitor-oem-machinery-with-little-to-no-it-involvement) 3 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.opto22.com/optoblog/outbound-monitor-oem-machinery-with-little-to-no-it-involvement#comments-listing) Topics: [Remote monitoring](https://blog.opto22.com/optoblog/topic/remote-monitoring), [Machine builder](https://blog.opto22.com/optoblog/topic/machine-builder), [OEM](https://blog.opto22.com/optoblog/topic/oem), [IIoT](https://blog.opto22.com/optoblog/topic/iiot), [Industrial Internet of Things](https://blog.opto22.com/optoblog/topic/industrial-internet-of-things), [Node-RED](https://blog.opto22.com/optoblog/topic/node-red), [Data acquisition](https://blog.opto22.com/optoblog/topic/data-acquisition), [MQTT](https://blog.opto22.com/optoblog/topic/mqtt), [EPIC](https://blog.opto22.com/optoblog/topic/epic) ## [Order your new groov EPIC system starting now](https://blog.opto22.com/optoblog/pre-order-your-new-groov-epic-system) Posted by [Jean Femia](https://blog.opto22.com/optoblog/author/jean-femia) on Mar 26, 2018, 12:01:00 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blog.opto22.com/hs-fs/hubfs/social-suggested-images/groovEPIC.png?t=1521655212922&width=280&name=groovEPIC.png)](https://blog.opto22.com/optoblog/pre-order-your-new-groov-epic-system) Opto 22's ***groov* EPIC® system **starts shipping on May 18. **You can start ordering now!** Pre-orders will ship first, and based on early feedback from several EPIC Roadshows, this new system will be in high demand. Customers are excited about the built-in features of *groov* EPIC, not only for IIoT applications but for all automation and data acquisition applications.

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.
