PACSystems features a variety of communications options for distributed control
and/or I/O, supporting a wide range of communication protocols and configurations.
These communication modules are easy to install and quick to configure. Some distributed
I/O communications modules allow for numerous remote drops or additional racks, while
others provide an interface for GE products up to 7500 feet away from the controller.
