Seriously, how can free software be any good? Amazing price. PAC Project Basic can be downloaded FREE from our website and is also shipped with all SNAP PAC controllers. The free suite includes software for building control applications and HMIs, plus complete documentation. PAC Project Professional adds a robust OPC server, database connectivity software, advanced network options, and legacy hardware support, all for just $999. Full features. PAC Project is easy for a novice to use, yet offers advanced functionality for experts. You can build a control application using both flowcharting and scripting, and incorporate features such as subroutines, PID loop control, and string handling. Single tag database. Once you have defined input/output points and variables (tags) for your control application, they are immediately available for use in creating operator interfaces (HMIs), for OPC clients, and for data exchange with databases. Plain English commands and elements. Commands are in plain language; I/O points and variables have meaningful names you give them. Full integration with great hardware. PAC Project software is part of the SNAP PAC System, an easy-to-use, flexible system designed to simplify the typically complex task of understanding, selecting, buying, and applying automation systems. PAC Project is fully integrated with the other three components of the SNAP PAC System: SNAP PAC programmable automation controllers, SNAP PAC brains (processors for distributed intelligence), and Opto 22’s reliable SNAP I/O. FREE training. Come to our free SNAP PAC System training class, a full four days of hands-on training with Opto 22 hardware and software at our headquarters in Temecula, California. Meet the engineers, take a tour of our factory, and see how easy it is to use the SNAP PAC System for your application, whether it’s simple equipment monitoring or a large distributed control system. FREE product support. All Opto 22 products include free technical support for the life of the product. Product support is available by phone or email Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time. What’s included in PAC Project software from Opto 22 PAC Project Basic is FREE. You can download it from our website, www.opto22.com, and it comes on a CD with any Opto 22 SNAP PAC programmable automation controller. PAC Project Basic includes everything you need for most applications:
- Control—PAC Control is a flowchart-based programming tool for building control applications. Easy to use and full-featured, it includes optional OptoScript programming, subroutines, a graphical debugger, and a wide variety of commands, all in plain English.
- HMI—PAC Display is our HMI (human-machine interface) package for building operator interfaces for your SNAP PAC System. PAC Display includes alarming, trending, security, a library of 3,000 industrial automation graphics, and a fast, multithreaded scanning engine.
- Configuration—PAC Manager is the configuration tool for assigning IP addresses and maintaining I/O.
PAC Project Professional is just $999 and includes PAC Control, PAC Display, and PAC Manager, plus two more applications and additional features:
- OPC Server—OptoOPCServer is a fast, efficient OPC 2.0-compliant server that handles communications between multiple OPC clients and Opto 22 devices. These devices can include SNAP PAC System controllers and distributed I/O, standalone Ethernet-based I/O, and Ethernet-based FactoryFloor systems.
- Database connectivity—OptoDataLink is an easy-to-use tool for establishing multiple data communication links between the SNAP PAC System and popular databases, such as Microsoft® SQL Server, Microsoft Access, and MySQL.
- Support for redundant controllers, network segmenting or Ethernet link redundancy, and legacy mistic serial I/O.
