Opto 22 groov Epic Programmable Industrial Controller IoT Gateway Processor Unit, Supports Up To 16 Analog & Digital I/O Modules, Resistive Touchscreen LCD Display, 2 x 10/100/1000 RJ45 Ports, 2 x USB 2.0 Ports, HDMI Type A Interface, UL C1D2 & ATEX Rated, -20 to +70 deg C, Mounting Chassis and Power Supply Units Required (Sold Separately).
The Edge Programmable Industrial Controller is an embedded Linux® real-time controller with gateway functions, well suited for any automation or industrial internet of things (IIoT) application.
A compact industrial computer, the groov EPIC processor features a resistive-touch, high-resolution LCD display for on-the-spot configuration, troubleshooting, and HMI. The LCD display swings open to provide easy access to the power button, power supply connectors, network interfaces, ports, and status LEDs.
Dual, independent Gigabit Ethernet network interfaces securely segment trusted networks (like your control network) from untrusted networks (like the internet).
Dual USB ports connect to serial interfaces, WiFi adapters, and keyboard, mouse, and touchscreen controls.
An HDMI port connects to an external monitor for displaying configuration and groov View HMI on an external large screen, useful for local process visualization and OEM applications.
The processor can operate through a wide range of operating temperatures (-20 to 70 deg. C), and with its industrial design, it can be used in a large variety of applications and operating environments. The CPU is an industrial, quad-core ARM® processor running opensource Linux with real-time extensions.

Model Variants
Two groov EPIC processors are available. Both have the same features
and include the same software, with the following differences:
GRV-EPIC-PR1 has 2 GB RAM and 6 GB user space. It ships with Inductive Automation’s Ignition version 7 pre-installed but can be upgraded to version 8 with a firmware update (license required for either).
GRV-EPIC-PR2 has more memory and disk space: 3.75 GB RAM and 22 GB user space on its embedded industrial SSD. It ships preinstalled with Ignition version 8 (license required).
