Description
Quad Pak modules contain the equivalent of four singlechannel I/O circuits in a single high-density package. Each
Quad Pak module can be divided into two pairs with each pair
sharing a common connection.
Quad Pak modules are designed to plug into the Quad Pak
high-density I/O mounting racks only and cannot be plugged
into single-channel racks. Quad Pak modules are designed to
work with a 5 VDC logic voltage only and can be used with
Optomux, Pamux, and Mistic protocol brain boards and
mounting racks as well as racks using a direct cable
connection to a computer.
Quad Pak AC Output Module
AC output modules are used for controlling or switching AC
loads. Each module provides up to 4,000 Vrms of optical
isolation between the field devices and the control logic. The
Quad Pak AC output module features zero voltage turn-on
and zero current turn-off.
Typical uses and applications for AC output modules include
switching the following loads:
Relays
Solenoids and Contactors
Motor Starters
Heaters
Lamps or Indicators

More About Opto 22
Products
Opto 22 develops and manufactures reliable, easy-to-use, open
standards-based hardware and software products deployed
worldwide.
Industrial automation, process control, building automation,
industrial refrigeration, remote monitoring, data acquisition,
Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and information technology
applications all rely on Opto 22.

SNAP PAC System
Developer- and IIoT-ready, the SNAP PAC System connects
physical assets to databases and applications using open
standards. The SNAP PAC System consists of four integrated
components:
SNAP PAC controllers
PAC Proj e ct
SNAP PAC brains
SNAP I/O
SNAP PAC Controllers
SNAP PAC programmable
automation controllers handle a
wide range of digital, analog, and
serial functions for data collection,
remote monitoring, process control,
and discrete and hybrid manufacturing.
For IIoT applications and easier integration with company
systems, standalone and rack-mounted SNAP PACs include a
built-in HTTP/HTTPS server and
program interface). The REST API gives you secure, direct access
to I/O and variable data using your choice of programming
languages. No middleware, protocol converters, drivers, or
gateways needed.
Based on open Ethernet and Internet Protocol (IP) standards,
SNAP PACs make it easier to build or extend a system without the
expense and limitations of proprietary networks and protocols.

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, local
PID loop control, watchdog, totalizing, and much more.
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.
Analog, digital, and serial modules are mixed on one mounting
rack and controlled by a SNAP PAC brain or rack-mounted PAC.

Quality
Founded in 1974, 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 test each product twice before it leaves
our factory, rather than only testing a sample of each
batch, we can guarantee most solid-state relays and
optically isolated I/O modules for life.
