Products
Opto 22 develops and manufactures reliable, flexible, easy-to-use
hardware and software products for industrial automation, remote
monitoring, and data acquisition applications.
SNAP PAC System
Designed to simplify the typically complex process of
understanding, selecting, buying, and applying an automation
system, the SNAP PAC System
consists of four integrated
components:
•SNAP PAC controllers
•PAC Project™ Software Suite
•SNAP PAC brains
•SNAP I/O™
SNAP PAC Controllers
Programmable automation controllers
(PACs) are multifunctional, multidomain,
modular controllers based on open standards and
providing an integrated development environment.
Opto 22 has been manufacturing PACs for many years. The latest
models include the standalone SNAP PAC S-series and the rack-
mounted SNAP PAC R-series. Both handle a wide range of digital,
analog, and serial functions and are equally suited to data
collection, remote monitoring, process control, and discrete and
hybrid manufacturing.
SNAP PACs are based on open Ethernet and Internet Protocol (IP)
standards, so you can build or extend a system without the expense
and limitations of proprietary networks and protocols.
PAC Project Software Suite
Opto 22’s PAC Project Software Suite provides full-featured and
cost-effective control programming, HMI (human machine
interface) development and runtime, OPC server, and database
connectivity software to power your SNAP PAC System.
These fully integrated software applications share a single tagname
database, so the data points you configure in PAC Control™ are
immediately available for use in PAC Display™, OptoOPCServer™,
and OptoDataLink™. Commands are in plain English; variables and
I/O point names are fully descriptive.
PAC Project Basic offers control and HMI tools and is free for
download on our website, www.opto22.com. PAC Project
Professional, available for separate purchase, adds OptoOPCServer,
OptoDataLink, options for Ethernet link redundancy or segmented
networking, and support for legacy Opto 22 serial mistic™ I/O units.
SNAP PAC Brains
While SNAP PAC controllers provide central control and data
distribution, SNAP PAC brains provide distributed intelligence for
I/O processing and communications. Brains offer analog, digital,
and serial functions, including thermocouple linearization; PID loop
control; and optional high-speed digital counting (up to 20 kHz),
quadrature counting, TPO, and pulse generation and measurement.
SNAP I/O
I/O provides the local connection to sensors and equipment.
Opto 22 SNAP I/O offers 1 to 32 points of reliable I/O per module,
depending on the type of module and your needs. Analog,
digital, serial, and special-purpose modules are all mixed on
the same mounting rack and controlled by the same processor
(SNAP PAC brain or rack-mounted controller).
Quality
Founded in 1974 and with over 85 million devices sold,
Opto 22 has established a worldwide reputation for high-
quality products. All are made in the U.S.A. at our
manufacturing facility in Temecula, California. Because we
do no statistical testing and each part is tested twice before leaving
our factory, we can guarantee most solid-state relays and optically
isolated I/O modules for life.
