Production Specification

The GRV-R7-I1VAPM-3 is a groov RIO energy monitoring unit (EMU) designed as an intelligent, distributed power and energy monitoring module. With built-in web-based configuration, commissioning, flow logic software, and the ability to run control programs written in IEC 61131-3 compliant languages, the groov RIO EMU also offers support for multiple OT and IT protocols. All these capabilities give the groov RIO EMU the flexibility to fit into IIoT projects (especially those that require energy data acquisition or communications) or traditional energy management control systems, or to act as a stand-alone energy management control unit.. Learn more about monitoring power and energy with groov products.

The groov RIO EMU simultaneously measures volts AC RMS and amps AC RMS on Category III wye (up to 400 VAC) or delta (up to 600 VAC) circuits. It can monitor three-phase AC current using 0.333 V, 1 V, or 5 A current transformers (CT). (Opto 22 offers a range of split-core current transformers suitable for the groov RIO EMU.) Each phase can be configured to ignore signals below a specified threshold in power measurement and energy accumulation to help you tune signal accuracy.

From the two measured field inputs, the module automatically calculates a total of 64 data values, including voltage and current; true, reactive and apparent power; power factor, frequency, net energy, and other values, as well as accumulated energy values for all phases. 

You can use groov RIO EMUs in several ways:

  • As an edge energy monitoring unit, communicating data between loads and data destinations. You can:
    • Push data directly to on-premises or cloud apps, databases, or other software, typically using the included Node-RED
    • Publish data to an MQTT broker
    • Respond to Modbus/TCP requests for data
    • Configure with browser-based groov Manage software
    • Manage local user accounts and permissions, or from a central location through an LDAP server
  • As a traditional energy monitoring unit (on its own or as part of a larger system), configuring channels through your control program:
    • With a groov EPIC processor running a PAC Control strategy; add a groov RIO EMU as an I/O unit
    • With CODESYS applications:
      • As part of a larger energy monitoring system: download and install the Opto 22 CODESYS Library Package to the CODESYS Development System, then add a groov RIO EMU as an Ethernet device.
      • As a stand-alone energy monitoring and control unit: enable the on-board CODESYS runtime engine (requires purchase of GROOV-LIC-CRE-RIO), download and install the Opto 22 Library Package for CODESYS, build your control program, and run it on the groov RIO EMU.
    • With a custom control program through either groov RIO's OptoMMP memory map, its REST API, or through secure shell access (requires free GROOV-LIC-SHELL license)

The GRV-R7-I1VAPM-3 has a communications processor with two switched Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, one capable of Power over Ethernet (802.3af PoE Class 0) connections, supplying power to the groov RIO. It also has:

  • Supply terminals to connect to a 10-32 V DC power supply.
  • A USB host port, which can be used to connect additional devices like a Wi-Fi adapter, a USB memory stick, or a USB-to-serial adapter (none included).
  • Status LEDs to display the status of power, network, and electrical activity.
  • One 13-pin removable field I/O termination connector with spring clamp wire retention.

groov EPIC System Product Guide

This document lists all the Opto 22 groov EPIC® System part numbers, including groov EPIC processors, power supplies, and chassis; groov I/O modules; and groov RIO® edge I/O modules. It also describes the main features of groov EPIC and groov RIO.

PC-Based I/O Overview

This document shows examples of system architecture for PC-based I/O control systems and lists Opto 22 products that work together for PC-based control. System examples include:

  • Ethernet systems using SoftPAC, a software-based programmable automation controller programmed with PAC Control
  • Ethernet systems using the OptoMMP protocol
  • Direct control of I/O using no I/O processor (no brain)
  • High-speed control using the Pamux protocol
NOTE: Before choosing to use a PC for control, consider groov EPIC.  A groov EPIC processor offers many features similar to a PC, such as a Linux OS with optional secure shell access; cybersecurity features; Ethernet, USB, and HDMI ports; and the ability to run the control program and HMI on the same hardware. In addition, a groov EPIC system offers real-time control using traditional programming languages; guaranteed-for-life I/O on the same chassis; industrial toughness for hazardous locations; and easier integration with company computer networks, manufacturing, business, and facility systems, and cloud-based services & software.

White Paper: Building Industrial IoT from Edge to Cloud

Sharing process data has long been a goal of industrial automation, but traditional operational technology (OT) architectures are poor at scaling, priced prohibitively, and demand complex configuration and support. So how can we achieve the new, more ambitious goals of the industrial internet of things (IIoT)?

Read this white paper to see how next-generation distributed I/O and control are opening new possibilities for connected infrastructure.

White Paper: I/O for the IIoT

In an era of increasing connectivity and technical capabilities, it seems like simple ideas should be simple to achieve. But industrial internet of things projects, even simple ones, are still expensive, demand special skills, and involve many steps. 

This white paper introduces edge I/O, a new kind of product that simplifies IIoT applications. Opto 22's groov RIO is an example of an edge I/O product.

Security Certificates

Current security certificates are embedded in the firmware for Opto 22 products. If you are using recent firmware or can update your device to current firmware, you do not need any of these certificates. If you cannot update firmware, then you can apply a certificate from this zip file as needed.

Before you download, read the Legal Agreement.

This zip file contains the following certificates:

  • DigiCert High Assurance EV Root CA (DigiCert.der) - Valid from 11/9/2006 to 11/9/2031
  • GeoTrust Primary Certification Authority (GeoTrustPCS.crt) - Valid from 11/26/2006 to 7/16/2036

Certificate installation instructions are located here: Background information

A valid security certificate may be required by mail servers to allow you to send emails from your Opto 22 products, for example, through: 
  • a PAC Control strategy running on a groov EPIC or SNAP PAC controller
  • a groov View HMI sending event notifications
  • a Node-RED flow on groov RIO or groov EPIC
Valid security certificates may also be required by other services you may be using via software on your Opto 22 device (for example, using Node-RED to move data in and out of Google Sheets).

All providers of email or other services update their security certificates from time to time. When that happens, your email or other service will stop working until you either install a new certificate or update firmware that contains the new certificate. Make sure you set up error handling procedures or other ways to verify that services are working. 

Opto 22 updates certificates as soon as we know about new ones. If you see a security error (for example, -2104 in PAC Control) or have some other indication of a certificate issue, be sure to check for new firmware or download this zip file. If you need help, contact Opto 22 Product Support.
