groov EPIC User’s Guide
Appendix A
1: Welcome to groov EPIC
The groov EPIC® system is the next step in the evolution of automation. The system includes:
• An Edge Programmable Industrial Controller with an embedded Linux® operating system and gateway
functions. We call it the groov EPIC processor because it can do controller functions and so much more:
– Edge–Moving more visualization, control, and data acquisition functions to the place where it all
happens: at the edge.
– Programmable–Offering more ways to support the creation of control programs that fit your needs:
flowchart programming through PAC Control, IEC 61131-3 compliant programming through
CODESYS®, or custom programming in popular programming languages with access to the Linux
operating system through a secure shell.
– Industrial–Designed to work in a wide range of environments, meeting UL and ATEX requirements
for hazardous locations.
– Controller®–You can rely on real-time control and I/O from an automation manufacturer with 45+
years of experience. Opto 22’s worldwide reputation for quality was built on solid state relays and
I/O, and all our experience is poured into the design of groov EPIC.
• groov® I/O modules, most guaranteed-for-life and available in discrete, analog, and serial models. All are
configurable by the groov EPIC processor and have up to 24 channels per module.
• groov EPIC power supplies for AC power, DC conversion, and adapters for pass-through connections from
a DC power supply you already own.
• groov EPIC chassis that holds the processor, I/O modules, and power supply. Available in 4-, 8-, and
16-module models.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
• To build PAC Control strategies with the PAC Project Basic Software Suite that comes with groov EPIC, you
will need:
– A computer with a standard or mainstream processor and (at least) the minimum memory required
for your version of Microsoft Windows. (Low-end CPUs are not recommended.) Additional memory
may be required for some configurations.
– One of the following operating systems:
– Microsoft Windows 10 Professional (32-bit or 64-bit)
– Windows 8.1 Professional (32-bit or 64-bit)
– Windows 7 Professional (32-bit or 64-bit)
• To build operator interfaces with groov View, you’ll need:
– Any computer with a web browser (does not have to be a Windows PC)
– One or more of the following:
– A Modbus/TCP device

ABOUT THIS GUIDE
– A database, online service, or software program to get data from or put data into a Data Store
using the groov API
–A groov EPIC processor or SNAP PAC controller (SNAP PAC S-series, R-series, or SoftPAC, with
firmware R9.2a or newer), running a PAC Control strategy
– An Opto 22 SNAP PAC I/O unit
– A database, cloud application, API, or serial device accessible via a Node-RED node.
– OPC UA-compatible automation system or equipment. Ignition Edge supplies an internal
server and drivers for groov EPIC. Additional drivers or an external OPC UA server may be
required for your equipment.
• To build control programs with the CODESYS Development System, you’ll need:
– A computer that meets the minimum requirements established by CODESYS. For more information,
visit the CODESYS website (www.codesys.com).
– The Opto 22 Library Package, which contains the information that CODESYS Development System
needs to correctly configure and connect to a groov EPIC processor. For instructions on
downloading and installing this package, see “Adding the Opto 22 Library Package to CODESYS
Development System” on page 64.
– CODESYS Development System, V3.5 SP13 Patch 1 or newer (32-bit version). For instructions, see
“Downloading and Installing CODESYS Development System” on page 64.
If you are using CODESYS PROFINET Controller SL, you will need CODESYS Development System,
V3.5 SP15 Patch 10 or newer. You also want to make sure the CODESYS PROFINET device is at version
3.5.15.10 or newer. To check:
1. Click Tools > Device Repository.
2. Expand Fieldbusses > Profinet I/O > Profinet I/O Device.
3. Find CODESYS Profinet Device and check the version.
–A groov EPIC processor (GRV-EPIC-PR1) with minimum firmware version 1.3.0.
ABOUT THIS GUIDE
This user’s guide shows you how to assemble and initialize your groov EPIC unit, how to configure the software
and I/O modules, how to configure system settings, and much more.
Note: If you are using CODESYS PROFINET Controller SL, you need version 1.5.0 or newer.

3: Assembling your groov EPIC
GATHERING YOUR EQUIPMENT AND INFORMATION
Gathering up all the supplies, information, and equipment you need to help you assemble your groov EPIC
unit can make assembling your unit easier:
• A work table and good lighting.
• An accessible power source that complies with the requirements described in Appendix B: Power Supply
Specifications or in the groov EPIC Power Supplies, Converters, and Adapters Data Sheet (form 2246).
• The proper gauge wires to connect the groov EPIC power supply to your power source. For guidance on
selecting the correct wire gauge, see Appendix B: Power Supply Specifications or the groov EPIC Power
Supplies, Converters, and Adapters Data Sheet (form 2246).
• The proper gauge wires to connect your field devices to the I/O modules. For guidance on selecting the
correct wire gauge, see “Connecting field devices to the groov I/O modules” on page 20 or review the
groov I/O module data sheets.
• Pen and paper to note important information that you might need during this process or to keep for
future reference.
• If you are connecting the processor to a network, an Ethernet cable.
• The groov EPIC power supply you selected for your project.
• The groov EPIC chassis you selected for your project. Make sure you have the correct size chassis to hold
the number of modules you are installing.
• The groov I/O modules that you selected for your project.
• The screwdriver that ships with your I/O modules, which helps you connect field device wires to the
terminal connector.
In addition, make sure you have a list of all the I/O channels (sometimes referred to as points) that you need
set up. This might be in a form of a document that maps which channel of which module will connect to a
specific field device/point. If you are working with a terminal strip, review the terminal number assignments,
making sure you understand which terminal numbers are assigned to specific modules and channels.
Any additional information you might need will depend on other factors, like any special configurations for
your network or whether you need to create additional users that have limited access.
After you assemble your unit, you’ll initialize it as described in Chapter 4: Initializing the groov EPIC Processor.
After you finish initializing the unit, it will be ready to run.
FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE PROCESSOR AND groov I/O MODULES
Take a few minutes to review the next couple of pages, which show you the different features of the processor and groov I/O modules.
The installation instructions in the documentation rely on these terms to explain how to handle a processor and a module.

number on the label attached to the back of the LCD display.
ACTIVATING THE groov EPIC UNIT AND DOWNLOADING THE LICENSE FILE
Each groov EPIC processor comes with an activation code, which helps you obtain your license file.
1. Make a note of the serial number of your groov EPIC processor, which is on a label attached to the back of
the LCD display.
2. On a computer or mobile device connected to the Internet, go to manage.groov.com.

ASSEMBLING YOUR UNIT
3. Follow the directions for activating your groov EPIC processor and obtaining a license file.
4. Save the license file onto your computer or mobile device and remember where you saved it. You’ll need
that information when you initialize your groov EPIC unit, as described in Chapter 4: Initializing the groov
EPIC Processor.
ASSEMBLING YOUR UNIT
After you complete the steps in this section, you will have mounted the power supply, the processor, and the
I/O modules on to the chassis. In the section that follows, you’ll wire the I/O modules to field devices, and the
power supply to the power source.
CAUTION: For electrical safety, do not turn on the power supply. Make sure to de-energize field devices wired
to the module terminal connectors before proceeding with these steps.
1. Orient the groov EPIC chassis so that the module connector numbers are right-side up, with zero on the
left, as shown in the diagram below.

2. Install the power supply:
a. Hold the power supply at a 45° angle, with the tabs at the back of the supply aligned with the
notches on the chassis.
