Arduino PLC Starter Kit AKX00051

Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) technology is vital for industrial automation, but gaps still exist between current PLC education and industry. To cultivate a robust industrial workforce, Arduino introduces a dedicated educational kit – Arduino PLC Starter Kit.

With this kit, you get 20+ hours of lessons with the Explore PLC course. Your students can learn about Programmable Logic Controllers, Modbus RS-485 communications, and integration with industrial simulated systems, among other comprehensive topics.

There’s also support for five PLC programming languages, which means you can program the kit effortlessly using the Arduino PLC IDE. This user-friendly environment simplifies PLC programming for both you and your students. Choose from any of the five programming languages defined by the IEC 61131-3 standard (Ladder, Functional Block Diagram, Structured Text, Sequential Function Chart, or Instruction List) to swiftly code PLC applications or port existing ones to Arduino Opta.

Additionally, the Arduino Opta WiFi can be programmed and integrated into an industrial automation system with our powerful IDE 2. The Arduino IDE 2 is a huge improvement on our classic IDE, with increased performance, improved user interface, and many new features, such as autocompletion, a built-in debugger and syncing sketches with Cloud.
