Description
A SNAP PAC S-series programmable automation controller
(PAC) provides powerful, real-time control and
communication to meet your industrial control, monitoring,
and data acquisition needs. As part of the Opto 22 SNAP PAC
System, one of these compact, industrially hardened
controllers can handle multiple control, automation, and data
acquisition tasks involving digital and analog control, serial
string handling, PID, and enterprise connectivity.
Connecting to Opto 22 serial- and Ethernet-based I/O
systems, a SNAP PAC S-series controller runs control programs
written in Opto 22’s PAC Control™ software to monitor and
control a wide range of devices and equipment. SNAP PAC S-
series controllers are well suited to original equipment
manufacturers (OEMs), system integrators, and end-users in
process control, discrete manufacturing, or hybrid industries
and applications.
A SNAP PAC S-series controller simultaneously runs up to 32
PAC Control flowcharts, although the PAC Control strategy can
actually contain a much larger number of charts. The total
number of flowcharts is limited only by the controller memory
available for strategy storage.
Ethernet Communication
All SNAP PAC S-series programmable automation controllers
communicate over standard 10/100 Mbps Ethernet networks
and can be attached to existing wired or wireless Ethernet
networks. The controllers can also be used in an independent
control network built with standard, off-the-shelf Ethernet
hardware.
SNAP PAC S-series controllers include two 10/100 Mbps
Ethernet interfaces for networking through an Ethernet switch
to Ethernet hosts, as well as SNAP PAC brains and I/O, which
provide local intelligence and the connections to digital and
analog sensors and actuators as well as serial devices. These
independent Ethernet ports have separate IP addresses that
can be used with PAC Project Professional software to set up
redundant network links to safeguard the availability and
reliability of an I/O system, or to segment a control systems
network from the enterprise LAN.

Wired+Wireless Communication
SNAP-PAC-S1-W and SNAP-PAC-S2-W controllers
add wireless capability to communications. In
addition to the two wired network interfaces, these
models have a wireless network interface as well, so
each PAC has a total of three separate IP
addresses—two wired and one wireless.
Wired+Wireless PACs can be used wirelessly or
on a wired network, or both at once.
For flexibility in designing your
wireless network, wireless
communication includes
support for 802.11a, b, and g
standards. Wired+Wireless PACs
can be used with a variety of
wireless switches and other
infrastructure hardware. For the
best security, the 802.11i
WPA2/AES standard is
supported, while older WPA and
WEP security standards are
included for backwards compatibility.
Just like a laptop computer with a wireless
connection, all functionality remains the same
whether the Wired+Wireless PAC is used wirelessly or as part
of a wired network. Supported protocols remain the same.
Control programs run the same on both networks without
reprogramming.
A Wired+Wireless S-series PAC can communicate with both
wired and wireless SNAP PAC I/O units. (See “I/O Units
Supported” on page 4 for details.) If desired, the PAC can
segment a wireless network from a wired one.
Serial Communication
SNAP PAC S-series controllers provide RS-232 and RS-485
communication as follows:
The SNAP-PAC-S1 and SNAP-PAC-S1-FM have two RS-232
serial ports that support general-purpose communication
with serial devices; you can send and receive data from one or
two serial devices connected directly to the controller. Port 0
can be connected to a modem using PPP (Point-to-Point
Protocol). These controllers also have one pluggable two-wire
RS-485 port that can be used for SNAP PAC or mistic serial I/O
units. For additional serial interfaces, you can add one or more
SNAP serial communication modules on SNAP PAC racks
connected to the controller.
The SNAP-PAC-S2 has four serial ports that can each be
configured using PAC Manager as either RS-232 or RS-485 (2-
wire or 4-wire). These serial ports can be used for I/O or for
general-purpose serial communication. For the default
configuration settings of these ports, see form 1592, the SNAP
PAC S-series User’s Guide.
Configured as RS-232, the ports support remote serial device
communication, and any one of the ports can be configured
as a PPP modem connection for creating a TCP/IP network
over PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) lines.
Configured as RS-485, the serial ports connect to
legacy Opto 22 mistic™ I/O units, including the
serial B3000 brain and remote mistic bricks,
and to SNAP PAC SB-series serial brains.
For additional serial host interfaces, you can
add one or more SNAP serial communication
modules on attached SNAP Ethernet-based I/O
units.
Controller Redundancy
Two identical SNAP PAC S-series controllers can be
used to form a redundant system, where one controller
actively runs the control program and the other is ready to
take over immediately if the first one should fail.
Besides two identical PACs, a redundant system requires PAC
Professional 9.0 or newer (see “Software,below), and the
SNAP PAC Redundancy Option Kit. For more information, see
the SNAP PAC Redundancy Option Kit Data Sheet (form 1901)
and the SNAP PAC System Redundancy Users Guide (form 1831),
both available on our website.
Backward Compatibility
S-series controllers have RS-485 serial interfaces for
connecting to Opto 22’s legacy mistic I/O units. The SNAP-
PAC-S1 and SNAP-PAC-S1-FM have one RS-485 port, and the
SNAP-PAC-S2 can be configured with up to four.
This connectivity with legacy serial-based I/O systems,
combined with PAC Control Professional’s ability to import
control programs (or strategies) written in OptoControl
software, provides a migration path to integrate older Opto 22
I/O systems into modern control hardware running on
Ethernet networks.
For detailed information on updating control strategies and
integrating legacy control hardware into modern systems, see
the FactoryFloor to PAC Project Migration Technical Note
(Opto 22 form 1692).

Software
SNAP PAC controllers use Opto 22’s PAC Project Microsoft®
Windows®-compatible automation software for control
programming, human-machine-interface (HMI) development,
and OPC and database connectivity. Two versions of PAC
Project are available:
•PAC Project Basic includes PAC Control for developing
control programs, PAC Display™ for creating operator
interfaces, and PAC Manager™ configuration software.
PAC Project Professional adds expanded versions of PAC
Control and PAC Display, plus a SoftPAC™ software-based
controller for PC-based control, OptoOPCServer software
for exchanging data with OPC 2.0-compliant client
software applications, and OptoDataLink for exchanging
SNAP PAC System data with ODBC-compliant databases.
Applications in the PAC Project software suite are described
below:
PAC Control Basic is a graphical, flowchart-based
programming tool for machine control and process
applications. Using PAC Control, you create, download, and
run strategies on a SNAP PAC controller. In addition to
flowchart programming with subroutine capability, PAC
Control includes a powerful, built-in scripting language based
on C and other procedural languages. PAC Control
Professional adds capabilities to import OptoControl
strategies, to support mistic I/O units, and to use a SNAP PAC
controller’s independent Ethernet ports to segment
communication links.
PAC Display Basic is an intuitive HMI package for building
operator interfaces, or projects, for communicating with a
SNAP PAC controller. PAC Display offers a full-featured HMI
including alarming, trending, and a built-in library of 3,000
industrial automation graphics. PAC Display Professional
adds the ability to import projects created in OptoDisplay, part
of the Opto 22 FactoryFloor® software suite, and to use
redundant communication links on SNAP PAC controllers. PAC
Display Professional can also connect to Ethernet-based
FactoryFloor controllers running OptoControl strategies or
ioProject controllers running ioControl strategies.
SoftPAC is a software-based programmable automation
controller (PAC)designed for PC-based control. Programmed
just like an Opto 22 hardware PAC, SoftPAC runs your PAC
Control strategy independently on an embedded or
standalone PC. SoftPAC takes advantage of a PCs speed and
file capabilities for applications requiring extended file storage,
frequent access to files, math-intensive processes, or a large
number of control flowcharts running at the same time.
OptoOPCServer (PAC Project Professional only) is a fast,
efficient OPC 2.0-compliant server for communicating with
many Opto 22 products, including SNAP PAC controllers
running PAC Control strategies, SNAP PAC brains, SNAP
Ultimate controller/brains, SNAP Ethernet and SNAP Simple
brains, and Ethernet-based FactoryFloor controllers running
OptoControl strategies.
Using OptoOPCServer, you can consolidate data from all these
Opto 22 systems into the OPC client software of your choice,
such as third-party HMI and data acquisition packages, and
custom software applications you create with tools such as
Visual C++®.
OptoDataLink (PAC Project Professional only) transparently
provides multiple connections for data exchange with popular
databases such as Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access, and
MySQL. OptoDataLink connects your SNAP PAC system with
the tools used for making business decisions, bringing
realtime, accurate data to decision makers.
PAC Manager is a utility application for assigning IP addresses
to SNAP PAC controllers and brains, reading or changing basic
controller configuration, upgrading firmware, and inspecting
or testing controllers and I/O.
Software Availability
PAC Project Basic is included with SNAP PAC controllers and is
a free download from the Opto 22 website. PAC Project
Professional is available for purchase. You can also separately
purchase PAC Control Professional, PAC Display Professional,
SoftPAC, OptoOPCServer, and OptoDataLink as needed. For
additional information, see the PAC Project Data Sheet, Opto 22
form 1699.

In this configuration, if one network goes down, devices
can still communicate on the other. Each PC has two
network interface cards (NICs), and the SNAP PAC S-series
controller and the I/O units (SNAP PAC R-series) have two
network interfaces as well.
If you are using Wired+Wireless PACs, one of these
networks can be a wireless LAN.
I/O units are all connected by the controller. Each I/O unit
is connected to its own group of sensors and actuators,
but all are connected to the same two networks.
SNAP PAC S-series
controller controls
all I/O units.

System Architecture (continued)
SNAP PAC S-series Redundant Controllers
Controller redundancy requires PAC Project Professional 9.0 or newer.
In this diagram, two S-series controllers are operating
redundantly. One is the active controller, while the
other acts as a backup, ready to take over should the
first one fail.
Controller redundancy requires PAC Project Professional
9.0 or newer and the Redundancy Option Kit, which
includes the arbiter and the redundant power switch in
this diagram. PAC Redundancy Manager, a software
utility for setting up and maintaining the system, is
included in PAC Project Pro.
The two controllers you use must be exactly the same
part number (for example, two SNAP-PAC-S2
controllers or two SNAP-PAC-S1-W controllers).
One advantage of an Opto 22 redundant system is that
it uses standard PACs, standard cabling, and standard
I/O. Another advantage is that either controller can act
as the active or backup controller; you can switch their
roles at any time for maintenance, for example.
For detailed information on redundancy, see form 1831,
the SNAP PAC System Redundancy User’s Guide.

SNAP PAC System
Designed to simplify the typically complex
process of selecting 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, modular controllers based on open
standards.
Opto 22 has been manufacturing PACs for over two decades. The
standalone SNAP PAC S-series, the rack-mounted SNAP PAC R-
series, and the software-based SoftPAC™ all handle a wide range
of digital, analog, and serial functions for 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 easily, without the
expense and limitations of proprietary networks and protocols.
Wired+Wireless™ models are also available.
PAC Project Software Suite
Opto 22’s PAC Project Software Suite provides full-featured, cost-
effective control programming, HMI (human machine interface)
development and runtime, OPC server, and database connectivity
software for your SNAP PAC System.
Control programming includes both easy-to-learn flowcharts and
optional scripting. 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 one SoftPAC,
OptoOPCServer, OptoDataLink, options for controller 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, and serial 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, 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
test each product twice before it leaves our
factory, rather than only testing a sample
of each batch, we can guarantee most
solid-state relays and optically isolated I/O
modules for life.
Free Product Support
Opto 22’s California-based Product Support Group offers free,
comprehensive technical support for Opto 22 products. Our staff
of support engineers represents decades of training and
experience. Support is available in English and Spanish by phone
or email, Monday–Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. PST.
Additional support is always available on our website: how-to
videos, OptoKnowledgeBase, self-training guide, troubleshooting
and users guides, and OptoForums.
In addition, hands-on training is available for free at our Temecula,
California headquarters, and you can
register online
