The PAC Terminal (PT) is a thin client HMI developed to work seamlessly with the Parker Automation Controller (PAC). With the PAC handling the machine control and HMI logic, the PT displays the embedded HMI and sends touch inputs back to the PAC. The PAC Terminal (PT) is a thin client HMI which significantly reduces the overall system costs when compared to a traditional HMI—especially if it is desired for multiple PTs to connect to a single PAC. Developed to work seamlessly with the Parker Automation Controller (PAC), the PAC handling the control and HMI logic, the PT is responsible for displaying the embedded HMI as well as sending touch screen input from the user back to the PAC. Markets: • Factory Automation • Packaging Machinery • Printing & Marking Equipment • Food & Beverage • Textile, Paper • General Automation Features/Benefits: - Reduce HMI Hardware Costs: Our PAC controller does the heavy lifting hosting the HMI application, allowing the PAC Terminal to provide high end HMI performance at very cost effective pricing. - Increasing Security: The PAC Terminal contains no application data when disconnected from the PAC controller. Critical application data, parameters and history are all stored on the PAC, safely in your main control cabinet. This centralized architecture presents an inherently smaller attack profile for malware, viruses and other malicious intent as your HMI is no longer an intelligent device containing critical information — yet, no functionality is compromised.
