Description
Teach PLC with Arduino – Starter Kit for Ladder, ST, and FBD Programming
Master Industrial Automation with the Arduino PLC Starter Kit
The Arduino PLC Starter Kit is a comprehensive educational solution designed to bridge the gap between industrial automation training and real-world application. Built around the powerful Arduino Opta WiFi PLC, this kit supports five PLC programming languages compliant with IEC 61131-3 standards, including Ladder, Structured Text, and Function Block Diagrams. With 20+ hours of curriculum through the Explore PLC course, it empowers high school and college students to understand PLC programming, Modbus communication, and remote control via Arduino Cloud.
