Step 2: Choose a Location
Locate a suitable wall or panel near a standard 120VAC or 240VAC wall outlet and the wired Ethernet
network(s) your computer is on. If your controller, Modbus/TCP device, or OPC UA server is on a
different network than your computer, connect ETH0 to your computer's network and ETH1 to the
other network. (Also see
page 59 .)
Allow room around the front, top, and sides of the groov Box. Air needs to flow freely though the
fans on the sides, and you need to be able to see the information on the top.
Step 3: Mount the groov Box
You can mount the groov Box on a flat surface using the four mounting tabs, or you can mount it on
a DIN rail using the DIN rail clips provided on the back of the groov Box. Use #8 screws with the
mounting tabs. If there will be vibration at the groov Box installation site, make sure to use the
mounting tabs for a secure installation.
