Flexibility and scalability allow you to reach and control areas of your operation easily and cost effectively. We build panels across all four PACSystems architecture tiers — from simple machine control to fully redundant, SIL 2-rated safety systems.
The PACSystems portfolio spans Software, Control, and Devices — giving engineers a unified platform from edge IIoT to motion control, with built-in security and open exchange protocols.
Safety Integrity Level 2 (SIL 2) is a performance target defined by IEC 61508 and IEC 62061 for functional safety systems. A SIL 2 rated control system must achieve a Probability of Failure on Demand (PFD) between 10⁻³ and 10⁻², meaning the safety function fails no more than once in every 1,000 demands on average.
Outsourced Controls builds SIL 2 capable panels using the Emerson PACSAFE safety I/O modules and PACSystems RX3i High Performance controllers. These panels are designed for applications where a control system failure could result in injury, environmental damage, or significant asset loss — including emergency shutdown (ESD) systems, burner management, and process safety.
Redundant control systems use two or more controllers operating in parallel — one active, one in hot standby — so that if the primary CPU fails, the standby takes over in milliseconds with zero process interruption. This architecture is essential for continuous processes where unplanned downtime carries significant cost or safety risk.
We build redundant PACSystems panels using the RX3i CPE330 in dual-CPU hot-standby configurations, with redundant I/O backplanes, redundant power supplies, and redundant network paths — all housed in a single UL 508A certified enclosure.
High-performance PLC panels built on the RX3i platform with ControlLogix-class processing, EtherCAT motion control, and up to 64K I/O points.
SIL 2 rated safety panels using PACSAFE certified I/O for emergency shutdown, burner management, and process safety applications.
Hot-standby redundant control panels with dual RX3i CPE330 processors, redundant I/O, and sub-10ms failover for mission-critical processes.
Distributed I/O panels using RSTi-EP modules for EtherCAT-based remote I/O expansion across large facilities or multi-zone processes.
Edge computing panels with PACEdge software for real-time data collection, OPC UA publishing, and cloud connectivity alongside PLC control.
PACSystems panels built to IEC 62443 cybersecurity standards with network segmentation, managed switches, and PAC Security Center integration.
From Micro to High Availability redundant architectures — we build them all. UL 508A certified, SIL 2 capable, 48-hour quote turnaround.
