Arduino PLC Starter Kit

The Arduino PLC Starter Kit is designed to bridge the gap between PLC education and industry needs. This educational kit provides 20 hours of lessons with the Explore PLC course, enabling students to learn about Programmable Logic Controllers, Modbus RS-485 communications, and integration with simulated industrial systems. Supporting five IEC 61131-3 standard PLC programming languages, this kit is programmable using the intuitive Arduino PLC IDE and Arduino Opta.

The Arduino Opta WiFi can also be programmed and integrated into an industrial automation system using Arduino IDE 2, which features enhanced performance, autocompletion, a built-in debugger, and cloud synchronization. The kit seamlessly integrates with Arduino Cloud services for IoT projects, enabling remote control functionalities. Comprehensive documentation and tutorials are available on the Arduino Docs page.
