Arduino® PLC Starter Kit

Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) technology is essential in industrial automation, yet there remains a gap between educational training and industry needs. The Arduino PLC Starter Kit addresses this by offering over 20 hours of lessons through the Explore PLC course, covering key concepts such as PLC fundamentals, Modbus RS-485 communications, and integration with simulated industrial systems.

The kit supports five IEC 61131-3 programming languages, allowing students to learn Ladder, Functional Block Diagram, Structured Text, Sequential Function Chart, and Instruction List programming in a user-friendly environment. With the Arduino PLC IDE, students can easily create or adapt PLC applications for the Arduino Opta. The Opta WiFi model further integrates with Arduino IDE 2, featuring a modernized interface, improved performance, and capabilities like autocompletion and a built-in debugger.

Designed for IoT projects, the kit integrates seamlessly with Arduino Cloud services, enabling remote control for classroom and real-world scenarios. Extensive documentation is available on the Arduino Docs page, with tutorials, datasheets, and technical guides for each component.

The Arduino PLC Starter Kit provides reliable, industry-aligned automation training with hands-on projects in PLC history, digital input simulation, communication protocols, and networking, all accessible through an intuitive online portal linked to the Arduino Cloud.
