Emerson PAC Machine Edition 10 Integrated Software for PACSystems™ Devices

Introduction

PAC Machine Edition (PME) provides users with an

integrated development environment to configure and

maintain control applications.  This environment provides

the tools to program and configure a wide range of

devices such as PACSystems QuickPanel+™ operator

interface, programmable automation controllers (PACs),

variable frequency drives, servos, and edge devices. Once

configuration is done, the same environment provides tools

to monitor, troubleshoot, and maintain control applications

throughout their lifecycle.

Integrated Environment

In addition to sharing common development tools, all PAC

Machine Edition components — View, Logic Developer,

and Motion Developer — share a common database and

common objects across applications. This means logic,

scripts, and HMI panels all share a common data model that

doesn’t require duplicating configuration in multiple spots.

Troubleshoot Across Multiple PLCs

PAC Machine Edition allows the user to open multiple

PME sessions on one PC and then connect each session to

a separate controller simultaneously. This allows the user

to view multiple application programs at the same time

from a single PC.

Boost Productivity Through

Reusable Modules

Combining the best of traditional programming and graphics

applications, PME features object oriented reusability to

save time during configuration. Users can build applications

rapidly with user defined function blocks, user defined types,

and control modules. These reusable type definitions

allow the development of controls logic to be done in

an object-oriented fashion.

Built-in Change Management Client

Seamless integration with PAC Change Management

allows end users to safely configure and manage small to

large applications. Check projects out, make the appropriate

changes and then document your changes when checking

the project back into the PAC Change Management server.

If circumstances make it necessary to roll back to a previous

version, then that version can be selected from the PAC

Change Management server and made the current version.

The roll back is done!
