Programming software PACCONTROLBAS

monitoringdata acquisitioncontrol

PAC Control, part of the PAC Project Software Suite, is an intuitive, flowchart-based tool for programming industrial automation, process control, building automation, remote monitoring, data acquisition, and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications. Using PAC Control, you create and debug control programs and then download and run them on a groov EPIC edge programmable industrial controller or on a SNAP PAC programmable automation 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. Developer and IIoT ready: Because Opto 22 groov EPIC, SNAP PAC R-series, and SNAP PAC S-series controllers include an HTTP/HTTPS server and a RESTful API (application program interface based on the REST architecture), you can securely access I/O point and variable tags in your PAC Control program using the language of your choice. Data is returned in JSON format.
