Introducing Opta Expansions: scalable simplicity!
— Could sixth, 2024
Final 12 months, we launched the Arduino Professional Opta: it was an instantaneous success with our neighborhood, and allowed us to achieve PLC engineers with a brand new answer particularly designed for his or her wants.
To additional increase Opta’s capabilities, at this time the Arduino ecosystem welcomes varied expansions that will let you add new I/Os within the easiest and quickest means potential.
Meet the Opta Digital Expansions
The digital expansions, Arduino Professional Opta Ext D1608E and Arduino Professional Opta Ext D1608S, are perfect to multiply the variety of real-time management factors within the manufacturing sector and in any constructing automation venture. The brand new, ready-to-use I/Os are seamlessly adopted by the Opta controller, supplying you with a native-like administration expertise. Every growth presents 16 programmable inputs and eight relay outputs (electromechanical or stable state), and as much as 5 expansions might be blended to acquire the most effective match for every venture.
Keep tuned for the Opta Analog Growth!
We’re additionally finalizing an analog possibility: the Arduino Professional Opta Ext A0602 (coming quickly) will will let you diversify your information acquisition capabilities, and increase your units’ actuation potentialities with nice flexibility and course of effectivity. Configuring new inputs/outputs to accumulate 0-10 V and 0/4-20 mA indicators and temperature values by way of PT100 will provide help to take Opta’s monitoring and management capabilities to a brand new degree.
Must make amends for Opta?
The Opta is our industrial-grade micro PLC, developed in partnership with Finder to supply engineers with a sturdy, dependable, safe and high-performance {hardware}, whereas nonetheless sustaining our signature flexibility and ease of deployment in manufacturing.
All three variants of Opta are based mostly on a strong STM32H747XI Twin ArmARM® Cortex® microcontroller and might be programmed utilizing C++ in Arduino sketches, but additionally supply the pliability of incorporating any or all the 5 conventional IEC 61131-3 PLC automation management languages.
To search out out extra, take a look at the three variants in our Retailer:
• Opta Lite: with Ethernet onboard and USB-C® programming ports (SKU: AFX00003)
• Opta RS485: which additionally provides RS485 half duplex connectivity interface (SKU: AFX00001)
• Opta WiFi: essentially the most versatile possibility, that includes additionally Wi-Fi®/Bluetooth® Low Vitality connectivity (SKU: AFX00002)
