FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the groov RIO EMU energy monitoring unit?
The groov RIO EMU (GRV-R7-I1VAPM-3) by Opto 22 is a compact, industrial-grade energy monitoring device designed for 3-phase power systems. It captures over 60 real-time electrical parameters to help businesses monitor and optimise energy usage without the need for a traditional PLC or gateway.
Does groov RIO EMU require a PLC or external controller?
groov RIO EMU enables you to capture power usage, identify inefficiencies, and reduce downtime by analysing detailed electrical parameters directly at the edge. With onboard analytics, protocol-ready integration, and flexible CT compatibility, you can make smarter decisions without waiting for upstream processing.
Which current transformers (CTs) are compatible with groov RIO EMU?
groov RIO EMU supports 333 mV, 1 V, and 5 A CTs, making it flexible for both new installations and retrofit projects. This wide compatibility allows you to connect to existing infrastructure with ease.
What types of data does groov RIO EMU collect?
groov RIO EMU captures more than 60 real-time electrical parameters, including:
•Voltage (line and phase)
•Current
•Real, apparent, and reactive power
•Power factor
•Harmonics
•Frequency
•Energy consumption (kWh)
This comprehensive data supports smarter energy management and predictive maintenance strategies.
What protocols does groov RIO EMU support for integration?
groov RIO EMU is built for IIoT and industrial integration, supporting:
• MQTT Sparkplug B
• Modbus/TCP
• OPC UA
• RESTful APIs
These allow seamless connectivity to SCADA systems, cloud platforms, and enterprise databases.
Can groov RIO EMU run local logic or automation workflows?
Yes. The device supports local processing via:
•Node-RED for flow-based programming
•Python 3 for advanced scripting
•PAC Control Runtime (on the M2 model) for IEC 61131-3 compatible control logic
This enables you to automate actions based on real-time energy data at the edge.
