SNAP PAC R2 - Controller
Opto 22 brains are intelligent processors that snap onto SNAP I/O mounting racks and open the door to unlimited scalability. And whether you choose the SNAP PAC R-series or SNAP PAC S-series controller, simply add more brains to your system for a distributed, intelligent I/O network with almost infinite expansion capability.
SNAP brains are powerful, compact computers that perform many tasks. On one side, they handle all communications over multiple network types using multiple protocols simultaneously. On the other, they breeze through processor-intensive local I/O tasks. And by diverting these tasks from the controller to the I/O level, you free your PAC to focus on higher-level processing and liberate your system performance from dependence on the number of I/O points. Your system runs faster and smoother and can scale as your application grows.
So now it's just a matter of choosing between SNAP Simple I/O and SNAP Ethernet I/O. Our free pre-sales application engineering can help you decide based on the local processing tasks you want the brain to perform, like latching, counting, pulsing, thermocouple linearization, scaling, clamping, PID loop control, and more.
