Advantech Foundation Co-Operates with the Central Training Center, Bureau of Employment and Vocational Training to promote PAC Assisting the Taiwan Automation Industry to Connect with the World

Programmable Automation Controller was definedby the highly recognized international research institute, the ARC Advisory Group. In order to satisfy the market demands for complex control, PACs are now emerging in the market. PAC defines the new generation of industrial controllers featuring the PC’s openness, high performance CPUs, rich memory and powerful software functionality, as well as the Programmable Logic Controller’s reliability and robustness. PAC incorporates multi-domain functionality, a common development platform, an open standard interface, and distributed modular architectures. In summary, PAC features 4 characteristics; a stable operating system, reliable parts, standard programming language and open automation architecture.

Johnny Su, Advantech Foundation’s president indicated that, PC-based open architecture is not only the direction Advantech is moving towards, but is also the developmental trend of global technology. This donation extended the TiC100 (Talented-entrepreneur Innovation Competition) spirit in further injecting more vitality to innovative entrepreneurial education. Furthermore the aim is to encourage and inspire more enterprises to get involved with the automation industry in order to develop talent to assist Taiwan’s automation industry to be globally competitive.

Starting from 2007, the Central Training Center (of the Bureau of Employment and Vocational Training) will conduct PAC related training courses, and will execute the PAC talent incubation plan.
