Open, Plant-wide Communication
APACS+™ is one of the only process automation systems with a published Application Programming Interface (API), which provides third-party applications with open access to the APACS+ Advanced Controller. This distinction and the system's extensive use of industry standards, including IEC 61131-3 standard for programmable controllers, (OPC) OLE for Process Control, and ActiveX, have made the APACS+ process automation system the leading open platform for integrated solutions.
