Overview
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are essential for industrial automation, but there are still gaps between current PLC training and industry needs. To train a robust workforce for the industry, Arduino introduces a special training package - the Arduino PLC Starter Kit.
With this package, you receive over 20 hours of instruction with the Explore PLC course. Your students can learn about programmable logic controllers, Modbus RS-485 communication, and integration with simulated industrial systems, among other topics.
Additionally, five PLC programming languages are supported, meaning you can easily program the kit using the Arduino PLC IDE. This user-friendly environment simplifies PLC programming for both you and your students. Choose one of the five programming languages defined in the IEC 61131-3 standard (Ladder, Functional Block Diagram, Structured Text, Sequential Function Chart, or Instruction List) to quickly program PLC applications or port existing applications to the Arduino Opta.
Furthermore, the Arduino Opta WiFi can be programmed with our powerful IDE 2 and integrated into an industrial automation system. Arduino IDE 2 is a significant upgrade from our classic IDE, featuring enhanced performance, an improved user interface, and many new functionalities, such as autocompletion, a built-in debugger, and cloud sketch synchronization.
Cloud-capable Hardware
The PLC Starter Kit seamlessly integrates with Arduino Cloud Services for IoT projects, enabling remote control capabilities in both classroom and real-world scenarios. This is our simplest and low-code method to get started with connected projects.
All the hardware included in the kit is also fully compatible with our...
