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.

With this kit, you get 20+ hours of lessons with the Explore PLC course. Your students can learn about Programmable Logic Controllers, Modbus RS-485 communications, and integration with industrial simulated systems, among other comprehensive topics.

Key features

Pro industrial automation with reliability and power for complex projects
Learning content that aligns with the industrial automation curriculum
Programming that is easy, approachable, and efficient
Dive straight into practical applications with Arduino's signature ease-of-use, flexibility, and a vast library of software

Free course: Explore PLC

With 20 hours of projects and many more tutorials, you have everything you need to teach programmable logic control in your classroom. Projects include getting started, an introduction to the software, PLC history, communication protocols, digital input simulator learning, networks, and counting - all accessed through one easy-to-use portal connected to the Arduino Cloud.

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. Ensuring security and durability, it supports OTA firmware updates and guarantees 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.

5 PLC programming languages supported

There’s also support for five PLC programming languages, which means you can program the kit effortlessly using the Arduino PLC IDE. This user-friendly environment simplifies PLC programming for both you and your students. Choose from any of the five programming languages defined by the IEC 61131-3 standard (Ladder, Functional Block Diagram, Structured Text, Sequential Function Chart, or Instruction List) to swiftly code PLC applications or port existing ones to Arduino Opta.

Enhanced Arduino IDE 2

Additionally, the Arduino Opta WiFi can be programmed and integrated into an industrial automation system with our powerful Arduino IDE 2. The Arduino IDE 2 is a huge improvement on our classic IDE, with increased performance, improved user interface, and many new features, such as autocompletion, a built-in debugger and syncing sketches with Cloud.

Cloud-ready hardware

The PLC Starter Kit integrates seamlessly with Arduino Cloud services for IoT projects, enabling remote control functionalities for both classroom and real-world scenarios. This is our simplest and low-code way to get started with connected projects.
