Emerson PAC Machine Edition 10 Integrated Software for PACSystems™ Devices Versatility

Flexible Project Structure

PME can support one to multiple targets in a single project,

allowing you to scale appropriately based on the application.

Therefore, you can have one project for each controller or

one project for multiple controllers depending on the needs

of the engineering and operations personnel that configure

and maintain the control system.

Versatility

Due to its support of extensive communication protocols

and instructions, PME excels in a variety of industrial

markets, including water and wastewater, oil and gas,

power renewables, mining and marine. Whether an industry

sector requires high-speed loops or advanced regulatory

control for loops where the primary process variable changes

slowly (like many temperature loops), PME has the tools for

effective control and operation.

The Right Programming Languages

PME supports IEC-61131-3 editors including ladder logic,

structured text, and function block diagrams. In addition,

C blocks can be created and merged easily into PME. This

gives you the freedom to use the best language for your

application.  The sequence function blocks bring the benefits

of sequential function charts into the function block diagram

editor allowing equipment control and its associated

sequencing to be merged into one editor.

Module Type Packages

Modularization is important to facilitate flexible

manufacturing and to accelerate the construction and

planning of plants. PME enables modular automation

by providing a library of data objects with interfaces that

semantically define the data to be exchanged between

equipment controlled by a PACSystems controller and a

Process Orchestration Layer (POL) per the VDI/VDE/NAMUR

2658 specification. The library is realized as a set of function

blocks each with an OPC UA interface that forms

the data object to be exchanged with the POL. The POL

coordinates the plant level control by issuing commands

and receiving state information by means of the data objects.

PME can export the definition of data objects used by a single

controller target as a Module Type Package (MTP) that can

be imported into a POL such as Emerson’s DeltaV
