I haven't heard very much about Opto's control products for a while. They have been emphasizing M2M and similar data acquisition systems. Here's what's up from the PC-based control pioneer moving the platform a step forward.
Opto 22 has introduced the SNAP PAC family of programmable automation controllers. These are high-performance, multi-domain, Ethernet-based industrial automation controllers suitable for applications in automation and control, remote monitoring, and data acquisition and 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.
"By merging the SNAP PAC R-series programmable automation controller and the ioProject Basic software into one, simple-to-use package, we are providing customers a superior 'shoebox PLC-class' hardware controller and the complete set of software needed to develop control programs and user interfaces-all for under a thousand dollars," says Benson Hougland, Opto 22 Vice President. "This is unprecedented in an industry where most other automation vendors charge much more for the software alone."
