Hospital Group Upgrades to SNAP PAC System

With two hospitals and six nursing home hostels, plus convalescent homes, psychiatric services, and rehabilitation centers, Ballarat Health Services in Australia is a major health care organization.

For years Ballarat has used reliable Opto 22 mistic and Ethernet I/O controllers to manage HVAC, power generation, operating room environment, crisis alert, and refrigeration systems.

Our latest case study charts their migration to the newer SNAP PAC System. Plant Control Technician Ben Orchard cites several important reasons for making the switch, including the two independent Ethernet interfaces on the new PACs, which can be used for network segmenting, and much greater throughput.

The migration path has been smooth, Orchard reports. "I can swap out our M4s for the SNAP PACs and have a better, faster system without having to even touch any of my remote I/O or sensors.“
