Are you looking to lower your energy spend, avoid equipment failure, and reduce carbon emissions? Good news. With Opto 22’s two new I/O modules, you can bring energy, performance, and machine health data directly from the edge—from both old and new equipment—into backend systems, reducing complexity, cost, and timelines. GRV-IVAPM-3 This 3-phase power monitoring module

Learn about two new I/O modules just announced for the groov EPIC controller. Two highly anticipated groov EPIC modules are here: the 3-phase power monitoring module with 64 channels of data (!), and the highly flexible, software-configurable multifunction, multi-signal module. These new modules can take your system to another level of efficiency and another step closer to your digital

Michigan-based Waterford Township is upgrading its water/wastewater controls and SCADA system with MQTT publish-subscribe protocol running on Opto 22’s groov EPIC controllers Similar to training and retraining staff, one of the best ways to instill cybersecurity protections is to make them simple, so users will be more likely to get in the habit of using

Scalable SCADA and MQTT Were Crucial to Achieving Ambitious Goals NGL Energy Partners is a diversified midstream oil & gas company that provides multiple services to producers and end users, including transportation, storage, blending, and marketing of crude oil. To improve its operational efficiency and revenue-generating capabilities, NGL embarked on an ambitious project that created a

The use of a message broker in MQTT communications addresses some industrial networking security concerns, but not all of them. The co-inventor of the technology offers tips on how to secure your MQTT communications. A key aspect of MQTT’s (message queueing telemetry transport) architecture involves the use of an intermediary server to collect data, as

Once you unbox your groov RIO from Opto22, you have access to a versatile piece of hardware. You can run through the excellent documentation provided by Opto22, and we will take you through the process of turning it into a fully functional controller for your facility over the next few posts. Based on your hardware

In this video from Inductive Automation, Arlen Nipper, the co-inventor of MQTT, explains what MQTT is why it was invented.

Intelligent, multi-signal, multifunction, PoE-powered, remote Ethernet I/O for IIoT and automation applications Now with one compact unit, you can: Power the unit and connected I/O with 802.3af PoE Class 0 switches, or a 10-32 VDC power supply Wire up to 8 channels of mixed I/O signals (configurable for temperature, current, voltage, or discrete inputs or outputs), plus

We’re always keeping busy here at Inductive Automation. Sometimes we like to make a big production out of it — just look at our ICC announcement this year — and other times we keep things a little more behind-the-scenes. No matter what, the goal for every one of our projects is to assist integrators and end users
