PLC Starter Kit

Why PLC Education Matters

  • 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.

  • It acts as a bridge between theory and practice, closing the gap in current PLC education and preparing students for real-world challenges.

  • The Core of Arduino Opta

    • At the heart of the Arduino PLC Starter Kit is the Arduino Opta WiFi, already a proven success in industry.

    • Featuring the STM32H747XI dual-core Arm® Cortex®-M7 +M4 MCU, this powerful core enables real-time control, monitoring, and predictive maintenance applications.

    • Providing security and durability, it supports OTA firmware updates and enables hardware-to-cloud data security via onboard security measures.

  • Integrated System DIN I/O Simulators​​​

    • Facilitate classroom setup and simulate practical industry applications for enhanced hands-on learning with the kit's hardware.

    • Includes a digital input and output simulator, Arduino DIN Simul8, the DIN Celsius custom-designed board featuring eight switches and power control, a resistor array, and temperature sensor.
