Groov EPIC

Your best choice for any industrial internet of things (IIoT) or automation application!

groov EPIC – the world’s frist Edge Programmable Industrial Controller.

Collect, process, view, and exchange data where it’s produced—at the edge of the network. When you work with data at the edge, you don’t have to worry about latency, and you have one single source of truth.

Securely share data among databases, cloud platforms, web services, PLC systems, and other systems and equipment, using open, modern communication standards. Built-in security features include configurable device firewall, VPN, encryption, user authentication, and more.

Connect with PLCs, move data efficiently, decrease network load, and reduce IT reliance by using MQTT communications.

Visualize data on the controller’s integral touchscreen, an external HDMI monitor, or from any web browser or mobile device.

groov EPIC offers several programming options:

  • Program with the field-proven, flowchart-based, multi-chart control language PAC Control.
  • Use any IEC 61131-3 compliant language with the CODESYS Development System and CODESYS runtime.
  • Exchange data using the visual, flow-based editor and runtime Node-RED, with its free pre-built nodes for databases, web services, and more. 
  • Run your own C, C++, Java, Python, or other custom-developed application on an open, Linux-based automation system, using secure shell access. 

From plant floors to remote sites, the edge demands industrially hardened equipment. Now you don’t have to worry about processing power in challenging locations.

  • Stainless steel processor and I/O chassis with a secure, screw-down design
  • Industrial quad-core ARM processor and solid-state drive
  • Industrial high-resolution color touchscreen display
