Hot Tips from PSG: Getting Troubleshooting Data
Here's a tip to help you troubleshoot your SNAP PAC System: our new technical note.
The technical note's step-by-step instructions make it easy to gather important diagnostic information. You'll get helpful data from the controller, software, brains and I/O, and your PC.
In addition, you can send the diagnostic files you create to Opto 22's Product Support Group (PSG). When you call in for free product support, PSG engineers will use the files to help you solve problems much faster.

New Digital Module for 70-130 VAC Inputs
We originally developed the high-density SNAP-IAC-K-16 at the request of our customers in Asia, but it's useful for any situation where AC voltage is in the range of 70-130 volts.
With 16 channels and channel-to-channel isolation, the module senses on/off status for 70-130 VAC/VDC inputs. It also features automatic counting and latching.
The SNAP-IAC-K-16 is designed for use with SNAP PAC rack-mounted controllers and SNAP PAC brains. The module mounts on any SNAP PAC rack.
For specifications and wiring, see form #1556, the SNAP High-Density Digital Modules Data Sheet.
Now in Japanese: SNAP PAC System Video
Our video introduction to the SNAP PAC System has proved to be so popular, it's been translated into several languages, including Spanish, Chinese, and Russian.
Now we're happy to present the most recent translation, in Japanese.
Opto 22 Engineer Alexi Beck Gray shows the software, controllers, brains, and I/O that make up the easy-to-use SNAP PAC System.

OptoGreen Grant Awarded for Wind Turbine Development
We're delighted to award the latest OptoGreen Grant to Red Arrow Wind Energy in Hubertus, Wisconsin.
Red Arrow is developing a small wind turbine with advanced yaw control for producing electricity from wind energy.
Designed for farmers, Red Arrow's turbine produces 90 kilowatts at a wind speed of 11 meters per second. The turbine's efficient high-torque rotor responds to wind speeds as low as 3 miles per hour, and the turbine can be used either on or off the electrical utility grid.
Red Arrow will use SNAP PAC System rack-mounted controllers and I/O for controlling the active yaw system that automatically turns the three- or five-blade rotor into the wind.
