Watch these new groov EPIC videos for tips on using your Modbus TCP devices with groov View, PAC Control, Node-RED, and Inductive Automation's Ignition software.

Opto 22 engineer Ben Orchard is back in the Opto 22 studio with several new video lessons on communicating to Modbus TCP devices with a groov EPIC processor.

For each lesson, Ben is using a groov EPIC Learning Center (GRV-EPIC-LC) along with a Modbus SATEC P130 power meter, which is measuring the voltage and frequency of the mains power in our studio. 

Watch and learn now:

Use a Modbus TCP device with groov View

See how to use groov View to create a user interface on the
groov EPIC PR1 to communicate with a Modbus TCP device. 

Use a Modbus TCP device with PAC Control

This time, you'll use PAC Control to create a control program on the
groov EPIC PR1 to communicate with a Modbus TCP device.  You'll want to confirm that PAC Control is already downloaded on your Windows computer.

Use a Modbus TCP device with Node-RED

Interested in trying Node-RED? Watch how it can be used to communicate with the Modbus TCP device and display the data in the debug panel of Node-RED.

Use a Modbus TCP device with Ignition

Finally, you'll learn how to communicate using Ignition from Inductive Automation. The goal is to display the data in the Ignition Quick Client.

We hope these new videos help answer your questions about groov EPIC and Modbus communications, or introduce you to the many programming options available on the EPIC platform.

Either way, let us know what you think in the comments below. And please share what topics you'd like to see covered in future video lessons!
