1 Requires SNAP PAC controller firmware 10.3a or higher, or groov EPIC firmware 2.0.0 or higher.
2 Requires SNAP PAC S-series controller(s).
3 On a groov EPIC, serial connections from the processor require a USB-to-serial adapter.
4 The required SNAP-PAC-ROK Redundacy Option Kit is obsolete as of 2022.
5 For more information, see the Communication Tools & Protocols for Opto 22 Products Technical Note (form 1820).
6 Not recommended for use with groov EPIC processors running PAC Control.
7 PAC Display projects can include groov EPIC systems and their groov RIO modules. PAC Display cannot run on an EPIC processor's built-in touchscreen; it runs on a Microsoft Windows PC.
8 For an OPC UA-compliant server, use a groov EPIC processor.
9 Do not use OptoDataLink with a groov EPIC processor; use its included data communication options instead. |
