Opto 22 PAC Control MCP connector
Opto 22 PAC Control is a programmable automation controller platform that manages industrial I/O devices and control strategies through SNAP-PAC controllers. The Opto 22 PAC Control MCP connector allows AI agents to read and write analog and digital I/O values, monitor device and strategy details, and access controller variable tags via REST API. It also supports reading engineering unit conversions for analog inputs and outputs and retrieving real-time state information from connected industrial devices.
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 SNAP-PAC controller health with firmware version and uptime metrics
- Read analog sensor values in engineering units for process monitoring
- Control equipment by writing digital and analog output commands
- Retrieve active strategy details including deployment date and integrity checks
- Manage data tables for storing sensor readings and historical trends
- Diagnose device status by comparing MAC addresses and system information
- Automate threshold alerts based on real-time input and output states
Example prompts
Use the following example prompts to invoke Opto 22 PAC Control MCP connector tools from your AI assistant or Boomi Connect workflow:
