Your Water System Never Sleeps. Your SCADA Shouldn't Either.

---

 Most legacy PLCs and RTUs were designed for a simpler world — one where your control system stayed on the plant floor, your data stayed local, and your team was always on site to manage it. That world doesn't exist anymore.

Today's operations demand real-time visibility across dozens or hundreds of remote assets, secure remote access without a VPN nightmare, and hardware that can handle both real-time control and IT-level data connectivity — without requiring a separate device for each function.

That's exactly what OPTO 22's groov platform was designed to do.

Unlike traditional controllers that lock you into proprietary software, expensive licensing, and a specialist every time you need a change, groov EPIC and groov RIO give your engineers and operators secure, browser-based access to process data from any device — on-site or remote. No vendor lock-in. No middleware. Just clean, reliable data where you need it, when you need it.

Built for Critical Infrastructure and Distributed Assets

groov is deployed across water and wastewater utilities, oil and gas operations, building automation systems, and other critical infrastructure applications where remote assets, cybersecurity, and operational reliability aren't optional. Key capabilities that make it the right fit:

• Cybersecurity by design — with AWIA 2018, EPA cybersecurity requirements, and growing OT security pressure across every industry, groov's security-first architecture matters. Encrypted communications, role-based access control, and no open ports by default mean your infrastructure is protected without a separate security overlay.
• Browser-based operator access — operators and engineers access process data and control screens from any browser, on any device. No proprietary client software to install, license, or update.
• Protocol-agnostic connectivity — native support for Modbus, MQTT, OPC-UA, DNP3, and REST APIs means groov integrates into your existing SCADA architecture without replacing what's already working.
• Edge computing built in — groov EPIC runs Node-RED, Python, and Codesys on the same device handling real-time I/O. Process data at the edge, reduce cloud dependency, and keep critical logic local even when connectivity drops.
• Guaranteed-for-life I/O — OPTO 22 has offered a lifetime warranty on I/O modules for decades. In a world of planned obsolescence, that's a meaningful commitment to your total cost of ownership.
• Rated for where your assets actually live — -20°C to 70°C operation, UL Hazardous Locations approved, ATEX compliant, and compact enough for DIN-rail or panel mounting in outdoor enclosures, underground vaults, and industrial environments.

 The full-featured controller for applications that demand both real-time automation and IT-level data connectivity. groov EPIC combines a quad-core processor, flexible I/O, built-in HMI display, and edge computing in a single platform. More than a PLC, more than a PAC — it talks directly to field devices, other control systems, databases, and cloud services simultaneously. The right choice for primary control at pump stations, treatment facilities, wellheads, compressor stations, and building automation systems. 

The compact, versatile solution for distributed asset monitoring and remote I/O. Thousands of unique field I/O combinations — analog, discrete, RTD, thermocouple, switches, relays, and more — in a single DIN-rail mounted unit. Power over Ethernet (PoE) built in, so you can power the unit and its I/O from a single cable. Built-in energy and power monitoring with 64 field measurements and calculated values makes groov RIO equally at home in building automation and utility metering applications. The right choice for remote sites, satellite locations, and any application where you need field connectivity without a full controller.
