groov EPIC Processor

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.
