Some call it a PAC, some call it a PLC, we call it the Productivity3000. The Productivity3000 programmable automation controller (PAC) is a compact logic controller that combines the features and capabilities of a PC-based control system with that of a typical programmable logic controller (PLC).

The Productivity3000 automation controller offers you a more powerful industrial control solution that is easier to use and more cost effective than any control solution in the market.
