‍

Program your Groov EPIC using flowchart-based PAC Control with optional scripting. Or build your own custom program with secure shell access (SSH). Future support planned for IEC 61131.

Easily create the HMI you need for all your systems, peripherals and data using Groov View. Then use your HMI locally on EPIC's high-resolution touch screen, and from anywhere on any computer or mobile device. You can also build a traditional Microsoft® Windows® -based HMI using PAC Display.

Create simple logical flows with Node-RED. Use pre-built nodes to exchange data with other devices, web services, databases and more.

Connect to Allen-Bradley® and Siemens® PLCs with the included OPC-UA drivers from Ignition Edge (an Inductive Automation® product) (requires Groov Enterprise license).
