PAC Control, part of the PAC Project Software Suite, is an intuitive, flowchart-based tool for programming industrial
automation, remote monitoring, and data acquisition applications. Using PAC Control, you create and debug control
programs and then download and run them on a SNAP PAC industrial controller.
PAC Control uses a comprehensive, plain-English command set, which includes commands for analog process and
digital sequential control, complex math, conditional branching, string handling, serial device control, PID loop control,
data arrays, and other complex functions. PAC Control is based on flowcharts, which offer a more intuitive alternative to
ladder logic programming, and it also offers an optional advanced scripting language similar to C or Pascal. PAC Control
also includes subroutines and a graphical debugger.
The database of I/O points, variables, and other data elements you create in PAC Control becomes the single tagname
database also used by other components of the PAC Project Software Suite. Because this database is automatically
available in PAC Display HMI programming software, you save significant development time.
NOTE: If you need additional features, including network segmenting, redundant controllers, and a migration path for
legacy Opto 22 hardware and software, see PAC Control Professsional. You can purchase PAC Control Professional as
an individual application or as part of the PAC Project Professional Software Suite, which also includes software for HMI
development, OPC communication, and database connectivity.
