Product description: Arduino Opta RS485 - microPLC controller - AFX00001
Arduino, in cooperation with Finder, has created a microPLC controller - Arduino Opta , which supports industrial IoT standards. Finder deals with the creation of industrial and building automation devices. The controller is based on the STM32H747XI dual-core ARM Cortex M7 + M4 chip, which allows real-time control and monitoring, as well as implementing preventive maintenance applications. Supports OTA firmware updates. The built-in security element and compliance with the X.509 standard ensure secure data transfer from hardware to the cloud. All while maintaining Arduino Pro's signature ease of deployment in production with a wide range of readily available Arduino software libraries and sketches. Arduino Opta RS485 is equipped with an Ethernet connector, a USB type C port for programming the PLC module and an RS485 half-duplex communication interface.
MicroPLC controller - Arduino Opta RS485.
Arduino PLC IDE.Programming in Arduino PLC IDE
The Arduino PLC IDE makes PLC programming easy. It allows you to choose one of the 5 programming languages defined in the IEC 61131-3 standard (Ladder, Functional Block Diagram, Structured Text, Sequential Function Chart or Instruction List) and quickly code PLC applications or transfer existing ones to Arduino Opta or Portenta Machine Control .
Arduino Opta main features
- Easy and fast programming, starting with ready-made Arduino sketches, tutorials and libraries
- Optional support for standard IEC 61131-3 PLC languages
- Fieldbus integration over Modbus TCP (Ethernet) and Modbus RTU (RS485 serial)
- Seamless IoT connectivity (Ethernet / WiFi / Bluetooth Low Energy)
- Real-time remote monitoring via intuitive Arduino Cloud dashboards (or third-party services)
- Hardware-level security with built-in security and X.509 compliance
- Secure OTA firmware updates and cloud device management
- Switching high power relays (4x 2.3 kW)
- It has an industrial certificate
- Easy to install, DIN rail mounting
- It was created in cooperation with Finder
