OptoScreenCast: PAC Control Basic

Watch a six-and-a-half minute OptoScreencast that introduces the programming environment for PAC Control Basic. You'll learn the basic building blocks of an 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 ioDisplay (HMI) and OPC clients
