How to get started with Arduino Pro Opta Ext D1608S?

Getting started with the Arduino Pro Opta Ext D1608S expansion module is intuitive and does not require complicated configuration. All you need to do is:

1. DIN rail mounting - place the module on the DIN rail, making sure it is securely fastened. The module has appropriate brackets, which enable quick and safe installation
2. Connection with the base unit - after mounting the module, connect it directly to the Arduino Opta. Thanks to the snap-on function, the module will automatically recognize the connection and start working as an extension of the system
3. Programming - To start programming, use the Arduino IDE or IEC 61131-3 PLC IDE, depending on your preference. You can start with simple programs or use ready-made examples and libraries available in the Arduino ecosystem
4. Testing and Configuration - After programming, check the configuration of the inputs, outputs and relays. Make sure that the new I/Os are recognized by the system and work as intended

The extension easily connects to the controller thanks to the snap-on function.

After downloading PLC IDE, follow the installation process described in the user guide.
