NEW: PAC / compact by Opto 22

The SNAP-PAC-EB1 brain is an I/O and communications processor for your control system. Designed primarily to work in distributed systems controlled by a SNAP PAC S-series or R-series controller, the SNAP-PAC-EB1 can also be used as intelligent remote I/O with Allen-Bradley industrial PLC systems. The SNAP-PAC-EB1 provides local intelligence that frees the controller (PAC or PLC) for supervisory tasks.

As an I/O processor, the SNAP PAC brain independently handles functions such as latching, counting, thermocouple linearization, watchdog timers, and PID loop control. These functions continue to work on the brain even if communication with the controller is lost.

The SNAP-PAC-EB1 brain supports all the SNAP I/O analog, digital, and serial input and output modules available on the Opto 22 website. These modules can all be mixed on the same mounting rack and placed in any position on the rack. The brain and modules mount on a SNAP PAC rack, which holds up to 4, 8, 12, or 16 modules.

NOTE: In order to use Opto 22 serial modules with an EB2 brain, the I/O should be controlled by a SNAP PAC controller running a PAC Control strategy.
