Overview
The Arduino PLC Starter Kit equips students with critical industry-relevant skills to align learning outcomes with actual industry requirements. The Arduino Opta WiFi is an easy-to-use micro PLC with Industrial IoT capabilities and 24V operating voltage.
Designed in partnership with Finder, leading industrial and building automation device manufacturer, the Arduino Opta enables professionals to scale up automation projects while taking advantage of the open and widely known Arduino ecosystem.
The powerful STM32H747XI dual-core Arm® Cortex®-M7 +M4 MCU allows users to perform real-time control, monitoring and implement predictive maintenance applications. With a secure and durable design, it supports OTA firmware updates and ensures data security from the hardware to the Cloud thanks to its onboard secure element and X.509 Standard compliance. All of this is possible while keeping the renowned ease of production deployment of Arduino Pro, which is made possible by the abundance of freely available software libraries and Arduino sketches. Not to mention, a variety of connectivity choices, along with real-time dashboards and the user-friendly Arduino Cloud (or third-party services), make everything easy to manage.
