Overview

The PAC 100™ is a control platform that merges the features of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) and Industrial Personal Computers (IPC), to create an open standards, networked, programmable, flexible, and scalable PAC, all in a modular, DIN rail-mountable plastic enclosure. Compared to standard PLCs and IPCs, MKS PACs provide a more compact, customizable, high performance, and cost effective programmable control solution for a variety of control and automation tasks.

Fully programmable controller supports standard IEC 61131-3 environment
Program template library supports common process applications, significantly reducing time to market
ARM Cortex-M4, 100 MHz processor
Function block library supports various MKS devices for 'plug & play' implementation
Open standards support, interoperability with other devices & components

Features

Controls Workbench Software

Controls Workbench software is an integrated, customizable software application that is included with the MKS Automation Platform. The CWB is a central, powerful interface that provides users a simple, complete solution for device configuration along with the ability to view, data log, chart and export process data, perform manual process control, process troubleshooting, and advanced tuning of the MKS controllers (PAC 1000, PAC 100, Communications Module, MultiTherm 2000 and MultiTherm 1000).

Access all MKS controllers simultaneously and from one central interface

IEC61131-3 Programming Environment

The MKS Automation Platform supports a variety of programming environments, depending on user experience and requirements. The most common programming application for the MKS Automation Platform is the IEC61131-3 programming environment. The IEC61131-3 programming software allows users to create their programs and recipes in a global standard, IEC compliant programming environment. Recipes and projects can be created via a number of different or any combination of programming languages, creating an extremely flexible and capability programming environment. The programming interface supports developing a project using Ladder Logic, Structured Text, Function Block Diagrams, Instruction List, or Sequential Function Charts
