Opto 22 PAC Control MCP connector
Updated
Opto 22 PAC Control is a programmable automation controller platform for managing SNAP-PAC industrial devices and their I/O points. The Opto 22 PAC Control MCP connector allows AI agents to read device and strategy details, monitor analog and digital input values, and control digital and analog outputs on connected controllers. It also supports engineering unit conversions for analog signals, giving agents secure, real-time visibility into and control over industrial automation hardware.
Authentication type
- Basic Auth - Requires a username and password to be configured for the agent to access the service.
Uses
Use the Opto 22 PAC Control MCP connector to perform the following actions:
- Monitor real-time controller status and firmware details across SNAP-PAC devices
- Track analog and digital input readings from connected sensors instantly
- Adjust analog and digital output values to control connected equipment
- Verify strategy versions and chart counts running on a controller
- Retrieve and update float and integer data tables for process logic
- Automate equipment control decisions based on live input and output values
- Audit device uptime and network identifiers for maintenance planning
- Synchronize table values between business systems and controller memory
Example prompts
Use the following example prompts to invoke Opto 22 PAC Control MCP connector tools from your AI assistant or Boomi Connect workflow:
What is the current uptime of the SNAP-PAC controller?Show me all analog input readings from the Opto 22 PAC Control system.Turn on the digital output for the conveyor belt motor.What strategy is currently loaded on the controller?Set the temperature setpoint analog output to 72 degrees.List all digital inputs and their current on/off states.Read the values stored in the float table named Recipe1.Update the integer table with new production counts.Check the firmware version of the Opto 22 PAC Control device.Is the digital input for the safety switch currently on?
