Tips when using PAC Project with groov View, MQTT, Node-RED, RESTful API, and more

Are you wondering what else you can do to improve your PAC Project system’s performance? Did you optimize your SNAP PAC system and apply the same techniques to your groov EPIC system? There may be some other options you might not think of, like these:

• Moving groov View or MQTT to an alternate host task
• Enabling only essential tags as "Public" for Ignition or MQTT
• Scanning only PAC Control variables and tables if you’re using Node-RED

Whether you’re running an edge device like groov EPIC or a classic SNAP PAC system, performance optimization is a balance among logic, I/O communication, and HMI responsiveness. You might find some time savers in the Optimizing PAC Project System Performance technical note.

Here are a few highlights from the tech note.
