Programmable automation controller (PAC) programming software refers to specialized software utilized by industrial automation experts and technicians to develop and deploy control logic for PACs. PACs represent modern industrial control systems that amalgamate features from traditional PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) and PCs (Personal Computers), resulting in enhanced flexibility, processing power, and communication capabilities. This software empowers users to create and tailor control programs governing the operation of PACs within industrial automation systems.
The primary types of programmable automation controller (PAC) programming software include HMI (Human Machine Interface) software, advanced process control (APC), open programmable automation controller system server, database connectivity, asset management, integrated development environment (IDE), and others. HMI software facilitates the creation of graphical interfaces enabling operators to interact with industrial machines and processes. These software tools find applications across various sectors including discrete manufacturing, process manufacturing, automotive, semiconductor, energy and utilities, chemical, among others, serving diverse end-users such as oil and gas, electric power construction, food and beverages, water and wastewater industries, among others.
