I know it sounds like an April Fool's joke, but it's really true: you can build a groov mobile interface for your older Optomux system.
So you can monitor and control it from your smartphone or tablet.
It works in spite of the fact that Optomux has been around since 1982, while groov is all about today.

Today's tech tip is for anyone spec'ing new I/O for your system. It's a "hidden gem" on our website: the SNAP I/O Configurator.
This fun tool helps you build an I/O unit—mounting rack, I/O processor, and SNAP I/O modules.
Pick a rack-mounted controller or brain for I/O processing. There it is, on the rack.
Need a Factory Mutual approved, channel-to-channel isolated, digital input for DC voltage? Piece of cake. Check the boxes and choose the one you want.
Add all the analog, digital, and serial modules you need. If the rack is too large or too small, just click to change it.

Older wind farms still produce clean energy, but many weren't built for modern monitoring and control.
This lack of remote visibility causes problems for utility companies and other owners, who must immediately respond when regulators call for changes in production.
That's because the electrical grid has to be a Goldilocks kind of system: not too much electricity, not too little. It has to be just right.
