Product description: Arduino Pro Opta Ext A0602 - expansion module for Arduino Opta - AFX00007
The Arduino Pro Opta Ext A0602 expansion module allows you to expand the capabilities of the Arduino Opta controller with additional analog inputs and outputs. The module offers 4 analog inputs that can be configured to work with signals from 0 V to 10 V , from 0 mA / 4 mA to 20 mA and to read temperature from RTD PT100 sensors (2-wire) , and 2 additional inputs for RTD PT100 sensors (3-wire) . Additionally, the module offers 2 analog outputs (from 0 V to 10 V, from 0 mA / 4 mA to 20 mA) and 4 PWM outputs (adjustable output voltage from 8 V to 40 V DC). The module is compatible with both Arduino IDE and PLC IDE IEC 61131-3 , which allows for easy integration in an industrial environment. Support for up to 5 expansion modules provides flexibility and the ability to adapt the number of inputs and outputs to specific needs.
