The Programmable automation controllers are used for satisfying the present market demands for complex controls and these are the present new generation industrial controllers which has the features of rich memory and with excellent software functionality with the some of the features of the PLC. It performs many functions such as logic, motion, drives and even the process on a single platform. The multi discipline development program is single which incorporates a single database. It has the combined features of PC-based control system and that of PAC. It can even perform multi tasking and efficient processing.
The characteristics are in turn the advantages of PAC. These advantages are used for meeting the complex processes. In this type of controller, the hardware and even the software are used for programming which is called as integrated environment. This integrated Development environment (IDE) is used for programming on a single database. Control systems are easily upgraded using the PAC’s. It uses standard network technologies like Ethernet and even TCP/IP protocol for the easy exchange of the data.
Numbers of financial advantages are being offered by the usage of PAC’S. The overall cost of the control system which is used in PAC is less because the cost of the hardware equipment is less and even the development and the integration time required is very less. Even there is an increase return on the assets with the use of automation.
Therefore the PAC is a single small or compact device which is having the advanced control features and the connectivity with the standard networks and with the data integration capabilities which are found in the PC- based automation controllers and even the PLC’s. With these advanced features PAC plays a vital in the role in the present industry.
