Introducing Opta Expansions: scalable simplicity!

Final yr, we launched the Arduino Professional Opta: it was an immediate success with our group, and allowed us to succeed in PLC engineers with a brand new resolution particularly designed for his or her wants. 

To additional broaden Opta’s capabilities, immediately the Arduino ecosystem welcomes varied expansions that help you add new I/Os within the easiest and quickest approach potential. 

Meet the Opta Digital Expansions

The digital expansions, Arduino Professional Opta Ext D1608E and Arduino Professional Opta Ext D1608S, are splendid to multiply the variety of real-time management factors within the manufacturing sector and in any constructing automation challenge. The brand new, ready-to-use I/Os are seamlessly adopted by the Opta controller, providing you with a native-like administration expertise. Every growth gives 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 challenge.

Keep tuned for the Opta Analog Enlargement!

We’re additionally finalizing an analog choice: the Arduino Professional Opta Ext A0602 (coming quickly) will help you diversify your information acquisition capabilities, and broaden your units’ actuation prospects with nice flexibility and course of effectivity. Configuring new inputs/outputs to amass 0-10 V and 0/4-20 mA alerts and temperature values by PT100 will enable you take Opta’s monitoring and management capabilities to a brand new degree.

Have to compensate for Opta?

The Opta is our industrial-grade micro PLC, developed in partnership with Finder to offer 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 primarily based on a robust STM32H747XI Twin ArmARM® Cortex® microcontroller and might be programmed utilizing C++ in Arduino sketches, but in addition provide the pliability of incorporating any or all the 5 conventional IEC 61131-3 PLC automation management languages.

To search out out extra, try 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 choice, that includes additionally Wi-Fi®/Bluetooth® Low Power connectivity (SKU: AFX00002)
