PAC Display Professional, part of the PAC Project Professional Software Suite, is a user-friendly HMI package for building operator interface applications to communicate with groov EPIC and SNAP PAC Systems and with Ethernet-based I/O units (including groov RIO, SNAP PAC brains, and legacy Ethernet brains). Technicians and operators can monitor these systems, respond to alarms, and interact as necessary using a graphical display. NOTE: Although a PAC Display project cannot run on a groov EPIC processor's built-in touchscreen, PAC Display projects running on a Microsoft Windows PC can include groov EPIC systems and their groov RIO units. The EPIC processor also includes groov View software for building operator interfaces that can be used on mobile devices as well as PCs. PAC Display offers rich features, including alarming, trending, security, and a built-in library of 3,000 industrial automation graphics. PAC Display uses a fast, multithreaded scanning engine. Because of PAC Project’s single tagname database, the data elements you created when programming your PAC Control strategy, such as I/O points and variables, are automatically available for use in PAC Display. This single tagname database eliminates the need to create duplicate databases and eliminates tagname-related errors. PAC Display Professional also includes the ability to use redundant scanners, redundant Ethernet links, redundant SNAP PAC controllers, or a segmented control network on SNAP PAC controllers. In addition to groov EPIC and SNAP PAC controllers, PAC Display Professional can also connect to legacy ioProject controllers and Ethernet-based FactoryFloor controllers running OptoControl strategies
