Standard AC Output Modules

Features

Rugged construction

4000 volts of optical isolation between the field devices
and the control logic (transient)

Zero voltage turn-on and zero current turn-off

Description

AC output modules are used for controlling or switching AC loads.
Each module providesup to 4000 volts (transient) of optical
isolation between the field devices and the control logic.

With the exception of the OAC5A5 module, all AC output modules
are equivalent to a single pole, single throw, normally open contact
(FORM A, SPST-NO, Make). The OAC5A5 is equivalent to a single
pole, single throw, normally closed contact (FORM B, SPST-NC,
Break). All AC output modules feature zero voltage turn-on and zero
current turn-off.

Standard AC Output Modules

Typical uses and applications for AC output modules include
switching the following loads:

•Relays

• Solenoids

•Motor starters

•Heaters

• Lamps or indicators

More About Opto 22

Products

Opto 22 develops and manufactures reliable, flexible, easy-to-use
hardware and software products for industrial automation, remote
monitoring, and data acquisition applications.

SNAP PAC System

Designed to simplify the typically complex process of
understanding, selecting, buying, and applying an automation
system, the SNAP PAC System
consists of four integrated
components:

• SNAP PAC controllers

• PAC Pro jec t

• SNAP PAC brains

• SNAP I/O

SNAP PAC Controllers

Programmable automation controllers
(PACs) are multifunctional, multidomain,
modular controllers based on open standards and
providing an integrated development environment.

Opto 22 has been manufacturing PACs for many years. The latest
models include the standalone SNAP PAC S-series and the rack­mounted SNAP PAC R-series. Both handle a wide range of digital,
analog, and serial functions and are equally suited to data
collection, remote monitoring, process control, and discrete and
hybrid manufacturing.

SNAP PACs are based on open Ethernet and Internet Protocol (IP)
standards, so you can build or extend a system without the expense
and limitations of proprietary networks and protocols.

PAC Project Software Suite

Opto 22’s PAC Project Software Suite provides full-featured and
cost-effective control programming, HMI (human machine
interface) development and runtime, OPC server, and database
connectivity software to power your SNAP PAC System.

These fully integrated software applications share a single tagname
database, so the data points you configure in PAC Control
immediately available for use in PAC Display
and OptoDataLink
I/O point names are fully descriptive.

PAC Project Basic offers control and HMI tools and is free for
download on our website, www.opto22.com. PAC Project
Professional, available for separate purchase, adds OptoOPCServer,
OptoDataLink, options for Ethernet link redundancy or segmented
networking, and support for legacy Opto 22 serial mistic

I/O units.

SNAP PAC Brains

While SNAP PAC controllers provide central control and data
distribution, SNAP PAC brains provide distributed intelligence for
I/O processing and communications. Brains offer analog, digital,
and serial functions, including thermocouple linearization; PID loop
control; and optional high-speed digital counting (up to 20 kHz),
quadrature counting, TPO, and pulse generation and measurement.

SNAP I/O

I/O provides the local connection to sensors and equipment.
Opto 22 SNAP I/O offers 1 to 32 points of reliable I/O per module,

depending on the type of module and your needs. Analog,
digital, serial, and special-purpose modules are all mixed on
the same mounting rack and controlled by the same processor
(SNAP PAC brain or rack-mounted controller).

Quality

Founded in 1974 and with over 85 million devices sold,

Opto 22 has established a worldwide reputation for high-

quality products. All are made in the U.S.A. at our

manufacturing facility in Temecula, California. Because we
do no statistical testing and each part is tested twice before leaving
our factory, we can guarantee most solid-state relays and optically
isolated I/O modules for life.

Free Product Support

Opto 22’s Product Support Group offers free, comprehensive
technical support for Opto 22 products. Our staff of support
engineers represents decades of training and experience. Product
support is available in English and Spanish, by phone or email,
Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. PST.

Free Customer Training

Hands-on training classes for the SNAP PAC System are offered at
our headquarters in Temecula, California. Each student has his or
her own learning station; classes are limited to nine students.
Registration for the free training class is on a first-come, first-served
basis. See our website, www.opto22.com, for more information or
email [e-mail].

Purchasing Opto 22 Products

Opto 22 products are sold directly and through a worldwide
network of distributors, partners, and system integrators. For more
information, contact Opto 22 headquarters at 800-321-6786 or
951-695-3000, or visit our website at www.opto22.com.
