XDD501A101 3BHE036342R0101 I/O Module Support PAC Control, PAC Project’s flowchart-based programming application, and other PAC Project components have added support for Opto 22’s SNAP I/O analogue input and output modules for the HART protocol, the most widespread digital communication protocol used in process automation. HART is the most widely used digital communication protocol in process automation, and process engineers and other end users can use the new HART-specific commands in PAC Control to exchange status and command data with HART “smart devices” such as field-installed process transmitters and analysers. Data from smart devices can be merged into the control system just as analogue, digital and serial signals are received from other SNAP I/O modules.

XDD501A101 3BHE036342R0101 HMI development and runtime applications that support PAC Display, PAC Project now have the option to write data from trends, history logs, and operator logs to an ODBC database. This makes real-time control system and plant floor data readily available for ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), MRP (Manufacturing Resource Planning) and other business systems. Supported databases include MySQL, Microsoft Access, and Microsoft SQL Server. database data records are only available in PAC Display Professional. PAC Display also adds support for the Unicode (UTF-16) text standard, which extends the languages available in the PAC Display HMI. PAC Display also added support for the Unicode (UTF-16) text standard, which expands the languages available in the PAC Display HMI. On-screen objects such as trends, windows, buttons, and labels can now use text in multiple languages, including Asian, Middle Eastern, and other languages with non-Roman character sets.
