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.

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

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!

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.

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.

PACEdge is a singular, secure, and controlled environment for

users to begin their Digital Transformation. Edge processing

maximizes the value of your data so you can generate real

insights and improve your operation’s reliability, safety, and

energy optimization. PACEdge provides the foundation

for these improvements by delivering all aspects of edge

processing with simplified IIoT application development,

deployment, and administration. All components necessary

in the IIoT application life cycle are brought together in this

single package to provide a unified and secure interface

to decrease your development time and increase your

deployable footprint.

The PACSystems RXi2-BP design features 1 PCIe slot

expandability. This functionality combined with advanced

CPUs allows for flexible, high-performance computing. To

help keep data and operations secure, the PACSystems RXi2

BP utilizes Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and Microsoft

Secure Boot technology.

Pre-Loaded Edge Analytics and SCADA

Do more at the edge with the PACSystems RXi2-BP

optionally pre-loaded with Emerson’s PACEdge™ or Movicon.

NExT™ HMI/SCADA software. This industrial PC delivers

a powerful and tightly integrated solution with reliable,

industrial computing and innovative, scalable and flexible

automation software.

Based on OPC UA, Movicon.NExT is the first integrated

automation software platform for connectivity, IIoT, machine

HMI, HMI/SCADA and plant analytics.

Movicon.NExT enables connectivity to many native and

integrated communication protocols. It provides enhanced

visualization tools, including WPF, XAML and 3D graphics,

and also enables data recording independent of data

format used. With Movicon.NExT, users also get integrated

scripting, an alarm management system, and analytics

capable of acquiring production data in real time. These

analytics provide KPI and OEE performance data, calculate

machine downtime and can be used in tracking and

scheduling production.

High-Performance Computing

Emerson uses AMD Ryzen™ Embedded series processors

based on their unmatched performance. The PACSystems

RXi2-BP IPC has up to 16GB of ECC RAM, four Gigabit

Ethernet interfaces, and industrial grade high-speed SSD disc

storage to complete the high-performance design.

These features make the PACSystems RXi2-BP IPC the perfect

platform for running industrial applications right at the

machine, even in the harshest environments.
