I would like to know the best way to power down (not restart):
a) a GRV-EPIC-PR1 processor (groov EPIC)
b) a GRV-R7-MM1001-10 processor (groov RIO)
I expect they both have a ‘Power-Loss Tolerant File System’ like the GROOV-AR1-BASE (groov BOX)
… and if so, this would be beneficial/prudent for when the UPS expires during a power failure,
but, is there a graceful way to power down a groov EPIC or a groov RIO other than to simply kill the power?
Best way to power them down is to turn them off.
In the case of the EPIC, at the power switch. In the case of the RIO by powering down the POE or its power supply.
Not required. The file system takes care of things for you.
In a related question, my plan for our incoming EPICs is to have them run in the machine automation control box and have them powered off of 110 that is available there. Just found out the operators throw the main power on the machine every night. Is there a need to have to the EPIC turned off prior to killing the machine power?
Hi Wade, welcome to the Opto Forums.
Nope, no need and no way other than killing power which will happen with the machine breaker.
They have a power safe file system, so will go up and down each night / morning with no issue.
