FAQ
Workshops Frequently Asked Questions
What is groov RIO used for?
groov RIO is an edge I/O module designed for industrial automation, IIoT applications, and secure remote monitoring—combining I/O, networking, and processing in a single compact device.
Do I need a PLC or PAC to use groov RIO?
No, groov RIO does not require a PLC or PAC to operate. It supports onboard processing, flow-based logic with Node-RED, and secure integration through RESTful APIs—but if needed, you can also integrate it with a PLC, PAC, or SCADA system as part of a larger control architecture.
What types of I/O does groov RIO support?
groov RIO offers universal, software-configurable I/O, allowing each of its channels to be individually set as analog input or output, digital input or output, thermocouple input, frequency input, and more. This flexibility eliminates the need for selecting and stocking multiple I/O module types, simplifies panel design, and enables fast reconfiguration to suit changing application needs—all within a single compact device.
How is groov RIO programmed or configured?
You can access groov RIO’s built-in interface through any modern web browser, use Node-RED for flow-based programming, or integrate with external systems using REST, MQTT, Modbus/TCP, or OptoMMP protocols. Integration options include Ignition Edge with the Cirrus Link MQTT Transmission Module, or Node-RED on groov EPIC using appropriate custom nodes for MQTT and other protocols.
Is groov RIO secure?
Yes. groov RIO includes strong cybersecurity features: user authentication, a built-in firewall, VPN client support, encrypted protocols, and secure certificate management.
Does groov RIO support MQTT and cloud connectivity?
Yes. groov RIO can publish and subscribe to MQTT brokers and integrate directly with cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and others.
