Specifically, the new groov EPIC processor, GRV-EPIC-PR2 (PR2), and groov RIO edge I/O module, GRV-R7-MM2001-10 (MM2), both ship with Ignition Edge 8.1 pre-installed and include expanded memory and storage to support future versions.Īccording to Opto 22, PR2 is compatible with existing groov EPIC I/O, power supply, and chassis options and allows Ignition 8 developers to integrate PLC, PC, and network gateway functions into a single, secure edge device.
Opto 22 has just announced it is now offering versions of its groov EPIC (edge programmable industrial controller) and groov RIO (remote I/O) with Inductive Automation’s latest version of Ignition onboard. At this event, Opto 22 was among the first companies to be announced as a participating partner with its inclusion of Ignition Edge Onboard in its groov box HMI device. At Inductive Automation’s 2017 Ignition Community Conference, the company announced its Ignition Onboard and Ignition Edge Onboard program in which automation hardware partner companies can pre-install Ignition and Ignition Edge on their devices.
