OptoScreencast: PAC Control Basic

Watch a six-minute OptoScreencast that introduces the programming environment for PAC Control Basic. You'll learn the basic building blocks of a PAC Control program and see how easy it is to build a tagname database and a control strategy using simple dialog boxes and plain English commands. You'll also see:

• The Strategy Tree: all the elements of your control program in one place
• Charts: these logical subsections of your program can run simultaneously or separately
• Action, Decision, and Continue Blocks: building blocks for flowchart logic
• OptoScript: an optional programming tool, great for complex loops, math, and string handling
• Subroutines: one secret to faster development time
• Variables & I/O: when you've named these, you've already created a database for PAC Display (HMI) and OPC clients
