This PAC controller test introduces the fundamental concepts and hardware components of a Programmable Automation Controller (PAC). We are using the Allen-Bradley/Rockwell brand of PAC, Controllogix, which uses their software, RSLogix 5000 (included in the Rockwell Studio 5000 Design Software/FactoryTalk suite of software). To learn more about RSLogix 5000 and ControlLogix, see our Controllogix and RSLogix 5000 course.
What is a PAC? A PAC (Programmable Automation Controller) is a two- or more processor-based device like a personal computer (PC). It is a PC-based system that integrates with a PLC and uses multitasking capabilities to automate the control of one or more pieces of equipment. The ARC Advisory Group defined the term PAC in 2001. While the PAC possesses PLC capabilities, its hardware architecture and software prioritize user-friendliness for IT and Computer Programmers. Other differences include multitasking, multiple processor modules per rack, multiple programming languages such as structured text, distributed control system (DCS), Tag-based addressing, motion control, and standard PC networking such as Ethernet, to name a few. In the real world, it is crucial to clearly understand the difference between a PLC and a PAC. To learn more, read our article 'What is a PAC vs PLC?'
