A lot of PLCs are just microcontrollers too. The Arduino Opta just uses an STM32H747XI which is a microcontroller. A PLC generally just has more protection, both environmentally and electrically ...

On the surface, a programmable logic controller (PLC) might seem like nothing more than a generic microcontroller, perhaps outfitted to operate in industrial settings with things like high temperat… ...

Arduino as PLC is an open-source project that demonstrates how to use Arduino boards as a low-cost, efficient alternative to traditional PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) for industrial automation ...

Arduino PLC Starter Kit combines the Arduino Opta micro PLC, the Arduino DIN Simul8 digital input simulator and power distribution board, and the Arduino DIN Celsius board with two independent heater ...

Software development is typically Arduino, via Arduino sketches, tutorials and libraries, and support for standard IEC 61131-3 PLC languages it scheduled – through the Arduino PLC IDE, which currently ...

The Portenta H7 Lite single board computer is ideal for robotic controller systems and other machine operations. Source: Arduino Arduino has rolled out a new single board computer, a more targeted ...

An Arduino is by no means expensive, but that still doesn't mean that it suits your needs right out of the box. If you want to make your own custom board, Make shows you how in a three-part series.

Open source and low cost hardware is increasingly popular for industrial applications, with Kontron launching a PLC based around the Raspberry Pi4 single board computer: Kontron launches PiXtend PLC ...
