PACPROJECTPRO PAC Project Professional

The PAC Project Software Suite from Opto 22 provides all the software you need for industrial automation, remote
monitoring, and data acquisition applications in any field. One of four components of the SNAP PAC System, PAC Project
software is fully integrated with SNAP PAC controllers, brains, and I/O, making it easy to understand, select, buy, and
apply an automation system for your needs.

Easy to use and suitable for projects from simple equipment management to full industrial control, PAC Project
Professional includes the following:

- PAC Control Professional, a full-featured, flowchart-based tool for developing control programs to run on SNAP PAC
controllers
- PAC Display Professional, for creating human-machine interfaces (HMIs) for operators and technicians to monitor
and interact with the SNAP PAC System
- PAC Manager, a utility program for configuring and maintaining SNAP PAC controllers, brains, and I/O
- OptoOPCServer, a fast and efficient server for communication with all OPC 2.0-compliant clients
- OptoDataLink, for sharing SNAP PAC System data with commonly used databases, including Microsoft(R) SQL
Server, Microsoft Access, and MySQL

About controller redundancy: PAC Project Professional 9.0 supports controller-level redundancy. Controller
redundancy is distinct from network link redundancy, which has been supported for some time.

- Network link redundancy provides a backup network connection in case the network should fail; it provides a second
communication route for the controller.
- Controller redundancy, in contrast, provides a backup controller that takes over running the strategy in the unlikely
event that the first controller fails. In addition to PAC Project Pro 9.0, controller redundancy requires two identical S-
series PACs and the SNAP PAC Redundancy Option Kit.

NOTE: If you do not need complex network architectures, redundant controllers, support for legacy Opto 22 FactoryFloor
systems, OPC communication, or database connectivity, you may find that the free PAC Project Basic Software Suite
provides everything you need.
