New groov View gadgets and functions come to groov EPIC along with
external HDMI touchscreen management and USB file access
Temecula, CA - December 19, 2019 – As the groov EPIC® platform passes
the year-and-a-half mark in its maturity, appropriately enough, Opto 22
releases version 1.5.0 of its firmware. This release broadens the
palette of visualization and storage options for groov EPIC to suit an
even wider variety of applications and hardware.
The embedded groov View server is updated to version 4.2, with
functions to create even more dynamic web and mobile HMIs, dashboards,
and Andon boards. New shape gadgets allow users to create custom SVG
images and animations directly in groov View, and to dynamically change
their color and size (height and/or width) based on process variables
or on any other data source connected to groov EPIC. This version also
introduces tag-driven conditional formatting for other gadgets,
allowing users to make elements visible or invisible, as well as change
text color and formatting.
These options could be used, for example, to enhance overhead displays
for a bottling line by changing the color of text and numerical
readouts to reflect line status or quality metrics stored locally in
PAC Control™, CODESYS®, Node-RED, or Ignition®. For batch and
continuous control applications, users could enhance situational
awareness in operator interfaces by creating custom level and range
indicators that change height and color in response to level,
temperature, pressure, or alarm readings.
With groov EPIC 1.5.0, OEMs can also choose from a broader range of
external HDMI monitors and touchscreens, including models from DELL,
Hope Industrial, SuperLogics and AIS. This makes it even easier to
eliminate Windows PCs and OITs for local viewing and operator
interfacing, significantly reducing material and maintenance costs and
total cost of ownership. groov EPIC 1.5.0 supports both resistive and
capacitive models via its built-in HDMI port, and makes it possible to
calibrate and configure them through groov Manage.
