PLC VS PAC VS IPC
What is difference? Sharing is Caring
A programmable logic controller (PLC), process automation controller (PAC) and industrial PC (IPC) have unique features and benefits, but those traits are blurring as technology becomes more sophisticated.

What is difference between PLC and PAC?

One major difference between a PLC and PAC is the programming interface. Most PLCs are programmed in a graphical representation of coils and contacts called Ladder Logic. PACs can be programmed using ladder logic, but also have the capability to be programmed in computer programming languages such as C or C++.
What is IPC and PLC?
A programmable logic controller (PLC), process automation controller (PAC) and industrial PC (IPC) have unique features and benefits, but those traits are blurring as technology becomes more sophisticated.
