groov RIO MM2 Remote Ethernet I/O IIoT Gateway

Opto 22 groov RIO MM2 Remote Ethernet I/O IIoT Gateway With Expanded Memory And Ignition Edge 8 Pre-Installed (Ignition Edge License Sold Separately), 8 Multifunction Input Channels, 2 Relay Output Channels, 2 Gigabit Ethernet Ports, PoE or 10-32 VDC Powered, DIN-Rail Mountable, UL C1D2 & ATEX Rated, -20 To +70 deg C.

groov RIO® revolutionizes remote I/O by offering over 200,000 unique, software-configurable I/O combinations in a single, compact, PoE-powered industrial package with web-based configuration, commissioning, and IIoT software built in, plus support for multiple OT and IT protocols.

The GRV-R7-MM2001-10 provides more RAM and storage than its pioneering predecessor (GRV-R7-MM1001-10) to handle the requirements of the pre-installed Ignition Edge® version 8 software (a product of Inductive Automation®). You can use either Ignition 8 or Ignition Edge 8 on a trial basis for two hours at a time, and you can restart the trial as often as you want. To use Ignition Edge, purchase an Ignition Edge license, part number GROOV-LIC-EDGE8.

You can use groov RIO in two ways:

As an edge I/O unit (I/O for the IIoT), communicating data between field devices and data destinations. You can:

• Connect directly to sensors, equipment, and systems to acquire data
• Push data directly to on-premises or cloud apps, databases, or other software, using the included Node-RED or Ignition Edge software
• Publish data to an MQTT broker
• Respond to Modbus/TCP requests for data
• Configure built-in I/O channels with browser-based groov Manage software, as well as configure self-contained PID loops
• Manage user accounts and permissions from a central location on your LDAP server

As traditional remote I/O, configuring I/O through your control program:

• With a groov EPIC processor running a PAC Control strategy; add a groov RIO module as an I/O unit
• With a groov EPIC processor running a CODESYS application, add a groov RIO module as an Ethernet device
• With a custom control program through either RIO's OptoMMP memory map, its REST API, or through secure shell access (requires a free GROOV-LIC-SHELL license), configure I/O in the custom program

The GRV-R7-MM2001-10 is a 10-channel, multi-signal, multifunction remote I/O unit. Its communications processor has two switched Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, one capable of Power over Ethernet (802.3af PoE Class 0) connections, supplying power to both groov RIO and field I/O. It also has:

• Supply terminals to connect to a 10-32 V DC power supply.
• A USB host port, which can be used to connect additional devices like a Wi-Fi adapter, a USB memory stick, or a USB-to-serial adapter (none included).
• Status LEDs to display the status of power, network, and I/O activity.
• One 26-pin removable field I/O termination connector with spring clamp wire retention.

The first 8 channels offer discrete and analog inputs and outputs; the last 2 channels offer Form C mechanical relays.
