SNAP PAC Ethernet BrainSNAP PAC Ethernet Brain Ref: SNAP-PAC-EB1

The SNAP-PAC-EB1 brain supports all the SNAP I/O analog, digital, serial, and special-purpose input and output modules available on the Opto 22 website. These modules can all be mixed on the same mounting rack and placed in any position on the rack. The brain and modules mount on a SNAP PAC rack, which holds up to 4, 8, 12, or 16 modules.

In addition to I/O processing, the SNAP PAC brain communicates over a standard 10/100 Mbps Ethernet network. The brain is equipped with two switched Ethernet network interfaces. Because these interfaces share a single IP address and act just like an Ethernet switch, SNAP PAC brains can be installed in a multi-drop (daisy-chain) configuration, extending the control network without the added expense of additional Ethernet network hardware. SNAP PAC brains can also be installed in a star configuration using standard, off-the-shelf Ethernet network components.

The SNAP-PAC-EB1 brain supports communication using multiple protocols running simultaneously over Ethernet. Most customers use the PAC Project software suite for control, monitoring, and data acquisition. At the same time, you can communicate using other methods, including Modbus/TCP, SNMP, SMTP, FTP, and OptoMMP. Communication with OPC 2.0-compliant clients is available through OptoOPCServer.

The SNAP-PAC-EB1 brain offers high-speed digital functions, including high-speed counting (up to 20 KHz), quadrature counting, pulse generation and measurement, and TPO (time-proportional output). If you do not need high-speed digital functions, choose the SNAP-PAC-EB2 brain instead.
