PAC hardware can be used in multiple domains, including logic, motion, drives, and process control. And the software programs all control and monitoring tasks of multiple domains. This feature enables the programs to “flow” as the requirements of the application dictate. Critical to any mechatronics system is the control. One of the newest controllers is […]

So when is a PC (personal computer) a PAC (programmable automation controller) or a PLC (programmable logic controller)? They are all the same. They all have microprocessors. They are all programmable. They are all available with hardware that is rated for industrial environments, shock, vibration, temperature extremes and various other requirements. They are all connected […]
