Posted by Janice Colmer on Sep 15, 2026, 2:02:27 PM

Join Opto 22 for the 2026 Fall CODESYS Tech Talk series and learn from real-world CODESYS customer applications.

Are you challenged with selecting the programming tool that best suits your application? We get it, and that's why you have programming options to choose from in groov EPIC and groov RIO products.

One of the options is the CODESYS Development System, which lets you use all the standard tools and IEC 61131-3 programming methods, like ladder logic or sequential function charts.

In the free 2026 CODESYS Tech Talk series, watch how a customer in the mining industry used CODESYS with groov RIO to significantly cut hardware costs and engineering time. Opto 22 Director of Technical Marketing, Dan White, presents the customer application.

Topic: From Smart Sumps to Smarter Mines

Description: See how Surety Automation used CODESYS on Opto 22's groov RIO to rethink underground mine control, replacing traditional PLC panels with a compact, software-driven architecture. What started as a smarter way to control sump pumps became a repeatable model for connected mining, cutting hardware costs 30–40% and engineering time from weeks to hours.
