Snap PACs are particularly suited to OEMs (original equipment manufacturers), system integrators and end-users in process control, discrete manufacturing or hybrid industries and applications.
Snap PACs are tightly coupled with ioProject Basic and ioProject Professional, comprehensive automation software suites providing programming, debugging, human-machine interface development, OPC and database connectivity, and utilities.
Two versions of the Snap PAC are being released: the Snap PAC S-series and the Snap PAC-R series.
The Snap-PAC-S1 is a stand-alone controller suitable for distributed control systems and applications with high I/O point counts or complex Ethernet network architectures.
The Snap-PAC-S1 features a 32bit multitasking processor with floating point unit, 32Mbyte of RAM, 16Mbyte of Flash memory and 8Mbyte of battery-backed RAM.
The Snap-PAC-S1 offers two independent, auto-negotiating 10/100Mbit/s Ethernet interfaces which, when used with ioProject Professional, can be configured to create dual Ethernet networks for segmenting I/O and host traffic, or to create redundant Ethernet link segments for critical applications.
Also included are one RS485 port for I/O communications or other RS485 devices and two RS232 ports, one of which offers full handshaking control, useful for connecting to wired or wireless modems and other network equipment where host/controller communication control is desired.
In addition, point-to-point protocol (PPP) support is included for use in creating TCP/IP networks over serial or PSTN lines.
