9. SoftPAC Software based Controller for PC based Control Features Operates like an Opto 22 hardware PAC but runs in Microsoft Windows Programmed with PAC Control just like any SNAP programmable automation controller Lets you take advantage of a PC s extensive memory file space and speed Ideal for machine builders and OEMs Description SoftPAC is a software based programmable automation controller PAC designed for PC based control SoftPAC gives you the choice of running your control program in a Microsoft Windows environment rather than on a standalone or rack mounted PAC SoftPAC is ideal for machine builders or OEMs who may already have a PC in their product or want to use one for a new design SoftPAC can provide significant savings in hardware costs for some applications SoftPAC is especially useful 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 For example industrial engineers working with gas density calculations solar tracking and encryption can greatly reduce calculation time Using SoftPAC you can take advantage of a PC s ability to quickly read and write to files as well as its greater space for data storage A large refrigerated warehouse for example may need to log gigabytes of temperature power compressor and door status data SoftPAC handles large amounts of data with ease bec
10. ause file operations are limited only by the size of the PC s hard drives and the available network volumes Another advantage is that SoftPAC can be run as a service When SoftPAC runs as a service an operator does not have to log in the controller can start when the PC is turned on Programming SoftPAC is programmed using PAC Control part of the PAC Project Software Suite for industrial automation remote monitoring and data acquisition Using PAC Control you develop a control program called a strategy You then download the strategy to an Opto 22 PAC software based SoftPAC standalone S series or rack mounted R series and the controller runs it independently See Configuring SoftPAC as a Control Engine on page 5 for important information Because the same PAC Control strategy can run on both software and hardware controllers you can even begin developing your strategy without hardware If you decide to use a different controller later there s no need to redevelop PAC Control includes all the features you need for control programming e A Strategy Tree that provides a graphical view of your control system including I O points and variables e Aset of more than 450 plain English commands including commands for analog process and digital sequential control complex math conditional branching string handling serial device control PID loop control data tables and other complex functions e Flow
