PAC Control Strategy
The power of PAC Display lies in its close integration with Opto 22
Using PAC Control on a PC, you create and debug a program (called controllers running control strategies. PAC Display monitors these
a control strategy) to automate a process. You then download your systems to give operators, technicians, and engineers the
strategy to the memory of a SNAP PAC controller, which runs the information they need at a glance, while transferring operator
strategy independently of the PC. You can easily modify the instructions to the control hardware. PAC Display also displays data

off your PC or use it for other applications while the controller runs
the program. If needed, you can also download a second, alternate
strategy to the controller and then switch rapidly between them
with minimum downtime.
A strategy is composed of a series of process flowcharts or charts,
each of which controls one aspect of the automated process. Each
chart is made up of blocks connected by arrows, which show the
process flow. Each block in a chart contains one or more commands
or conditions, such as Convert Number to String or Start Counter or
Chart Running? The shape of the block indicates its function. For
example, a rectangle is an action, while a diamond is a condition.
An Opto 22 SNAP PAC S-series controller can run up to 32 charts
simultaneously; the SNAP PAC R-series can run up to 16 charts at
once. Many more charts can be included in the strategy.
