PRESS RELEASE Opto 22 Introduces SNAP PAC(TM) Family

Opto 22, a developer and manufacturer of
hardware and software for industrial automation, remote monitoring, data
acquisition , and machine-to-machine (M2M) applications, has introduced the
SNAP PAC family of programmable automation controllers, extending a long
history of reliable, easy-to-use control hardware. This results in decreased debugging time and much
faster commissioning of systems in the field.
To facilitate custom developed applications with the AT76C713, a
Development Kit (AT76C713-DK) is available with sample programs, utilities for
program downloading, and a firmware upgrade.

The SNAP PAC-R1 is an "on-the-I/O-rack" controller designed for cell
control and smaller point count applications where the I/O needs are
geographically contained.) For
advanced applications requiring link redundancy , segmented networking, or
migration from legacy Opto 22 control systems, ioProject Professional
provides an expanded feature-set with added functionality including an OPC
server and an Opto 22 FactoryFloor import facility. Opto 22's products and services support automation end users,
OEMs, and information technology and operations personnel. For more information, contact Opto 22

processor with floating point unit , 32 MB of RAM, 16 MB of flash memory,
and 8 MB of battery-backed RAM. In addition, point-to-point protocol
(PPP) support is included for use in creating TCP/IP (Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol) networks over serial or PSTN (Public Switched
Telephone Network) lines.

This last feature was designed for existing Opto 22 customers, giving users
of the widely deployed FactoryFloor software a clear migration path to the
more powerful Ethernet-based control platform.opto22. The AT76C713-JT100 comes packaged

(Each SNAP I/O module provides from 2 to 32 channels per module. In doing so,
PACs fill an ever -increasing need in the automation and control market for
powerful and affordable hardware devices that can perform continuous
machine or process control, plus offer data acquisition capabilities ,
multiple communication options, and integration with enterprise
applications and databases. Perhaps most significantly,
all of this is bundled to form a system that is measurably more affordable
than any other on the market. Development Kits are available
through distribution or direct from Atmel .com

The SNAP-PAC-R1 also features two
independent, auto-negotiating 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interfaces that can be
used for network segmenting or Ethernet link redundancy, allowing the PAC -R
controller to scale up to larger systems or be a member in a PAC-S
distributed system.opto22 .

Furthermore, the included
Ethernet interfaces available on both the SNAP PAC S -series and R-series
controller allow users to connect to Optomux I/O systems when
retrofitted with Opto 22's recently announced Ethernet Optomux brains, the
E1 and E2.

In 1990, eleven years before the term PAC was coined by Craig Resnick of
ARC Advisory Group, Opto 22 was first to market with a PAC-type hardware
device in the form of its computer-based mistic controller.

Opto 22 products are sold through a worldwide network of distributors,
partners, and system integrators .

About PACs (Programmable Automation Controllers)

Programmable automation controllers (PACs) are industrial controllers that
combine the features and functionality of PC-based control systems with
those of traditional PLCs (programmable logic controllers).

For example, Opto 22's PAC control software offers a unique combination of
intuitive flowchart programming methods along with a versatile
English-syntax command set for digital and analog control , PID loop
control, serial device integration, string and port handling, and scalable
Ethernet networking. Up to three of those banks can be used as program memory in
addition to the default 16 Kbytes, resulting in a highly configurable system
depending on the application requirements.

modbus andon

Using standard, commercially available Internet, networking,
and computer technologies, Opto 22's input /output and control systems allow
customers to monitor, control, and acquire data from all of the mechanical,
electrical, and electronic assets that are key to their business
operations.
"This product targets applications where peripherals supporting fast
serial asynchronous or synchronous data transfer must communicate with a host
or other peripherals through a high-speed serial link such as USB," said
Richard Bisset, Product Marketing Director.
