More About Opto 22
Products
Opto 22 develops and manufactures reliable, flexible, easy-touse 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 Pr o j ec 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 rack-mounted 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 Proje c t S oftware S uite
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

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 solidstate relays and optically isolated I/O modules for life.
