Introducing PACSystems™ - the Enabling Technology


“The PLC has evolved by incorporating open standard interfaces, multi-domain functionality, distributed modular architectures, and modern software capabilities integrated as turnkey automation solutions. The label "PLC" simply understates the capability of current automation systems.

“As a new generation of functional capabilities pervades the market the more apt notion of Programmable Automation Controllers (PAC) will displace its predecessor. PACs augment the function and role of the traditional PLC by defining new capabilities for the next generation PLC. This PAC concept will play a major role in plant and factory automation in the future.“

Craig ResnickDirector of ResearchARC Advisory Group
