* SNAP PAC SB-series brains for serial networks do not support serial SNAP I/O
modules. See Opto 22 form 1689, the SNAP PAC Brains data sheet, for specific
compatibility information.
The SNAP PAC System
PAC Project is one of four components of the SNAP PAC System. The
other three are:
SNAP PAC controllers. SNAP PAC programmable automation
controllers run PAC Control strategies. SNAP PAC R-series controllers
mount on the rack with the input/output (I/O) modules and
include I/O processing and communications as well as control.
Standalone SNAP PAC S-series controllers offer more power for
complex distributed systems, support for legacy hardware, and
redundant controller capability. Both the R-series and the S-series
have dual, independent Ethernet network interfaces for segmented
networks or Ethernet link redundancy. Wired+Wireless models can
run on a wireless LAN, on a wired network, or on both at once.
SNAP PAC brains. These I/O and communication processors
provide distributed intelligence under the control of a SNAP PAC
controller. For Ethernet-based networks, choose a SNAP PAC EB-
series brain; for serial networks, choose an SB-series brain used with
an S-series controller. Both brains handle digital, analog, and
special-purpose I/O modules.* Wired+Wireless EB-series brains
can run on a wireless LAN, on a wired network, or on both at once.
SNAP I/O modules. Opto 22 SNAP analog, digital, serial, and
special-purpose input and output modules can be used with the
SNAP PAC system.* SNAP I/O provides a wide range of signal types
for any application. Modules, brains, and R-series controllers mount
on SNAP PAC racks, which can hold 4, 8, 12, or 16 modules. Each
module contains from 1 to 32 I/O points.
Advantages of the SNAP PAC System
The integrated software and hardware of the SNAP PAC system
make it easier to understand, select, and apply an automation,
monitoring, or data acquisition system for your needs. The
components all work together and the system can be easily
extended as your needs grow, requiring a minimum of
reprogramming and rewiring.
Software is simple to use and commands are in plain English. A
single tagname database is shared by all software components, so
the I/O points and data elements you define during control
programming are automatically available when you’re building an
HMI or configuring data to send to OPC clients and databases. And
since you give I/O points and other data elements meaningful
names that suit the way you are using them, troubleshooting and
maintenance are easier.

PAC Control
PAC Control is an intuitive, flowchart-based programming and
debugging tool for industrial automation, remote monitoring, and
data acquisition applications. Using PAC Control, you create,
download, and run control programs on a SNAP PAC standalone or
on-the-rack controller.
PAC Control Basic includes all the features you need for most
applications, including:
•
•
•
•
•
•
A Strategy Tree that provides a graphical view of your control
system configuration, including I/O points and variables
A comprehensive, plain-English command set, including
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
Flowchart-based programming, which lets you write
control strategies visually and offers a more intuitive alternative
to ladder logic programming
OptoScript programming, an optional advanced scripting
language similar to C or Pascal, ideal for experienced control
engineers who prefer a procedural approach to program
development
Subroutines for more efficient programming. Subroutines are
especially useful for repeated tasks or processes that are used in
multiple control strategies.
A graphical debugger for stepping through a control program
and its subroutines in real time
