New Belgium Brewing, a long-time customer, was just named Food Engineering's Sustainable Plant of the Year for 2010!
It's a well-deserved honor. New Belgium's commitment to sustainability has been a key part of their corporate strategy from the beginning. They treat their own water and co-generate energy from methane gas. They use wind power and create electricity with rooftop solar panels.
At Opto, we're glad to help.
Look for our latest ad, celebrating New Belgium. You can't miss the great-looking cans of Fat Tire Ale in the ad. Look for it in Control Engineering, Food Engineering, Automation World, and Industrial Ethernet Book.
Also in the ad, you'll see our latest innovation in print ads, a QR (quick response) code. QR codes are like two-dimensional barcodes. If you scan the code with your smart phone, you'll get information relating to the ad. In our case, it's a link to our video about New Belgium.
Technology—don't you love it?
Say, do you think New Belgium would be willing to change their phrase "Pack it in, pack it out" just a little? How about "PAC it in, PAC it out"? :-)

Do you use older Opto 22 equipment like mistic I/O or Ultimate I/O with your SNAP PAC System?
If you do, make sure you have the legacy versions of the PAC Project user's guides. In some cases these older I/O units are addressed differently, respond differently, or require different commands than current products. The legacy guides include those differences.
Here are the user's guides you'll need, depending on the equipment you have:
If you have any questions about using legacy and current products together—for example, which SNAP I/O modules can be used with older brains—the best place to look is the Legacy and Current Product Comparison and Compatibility Charts. These charts detail which products work together and also compare features on older and current controllers, brains, and software.
For more information on migration from older products to the SNAP PAC System, see the Migration topic page.
