Foxboro PAC System

The Foxboro PAC (Programmable Automation Control) System is a high-performance automation controller solution integrated within the Wonderware System Platform using ArchestrA technology.

The Foxboro PAC hardware marries high performance, reliability and high |/O density with cost-effective redundancy options. The process modules and |/O system form the basis of a complete distributed control and recording environment capable of continuous analog, logic, and sequential control combined with secure data recording at point-of-measurement; all designed to maximize return on investment (ROI).

Finding support is easy with the Invensys Customer FIRST Support and Services Program.
