Mouser Electronics Now Stocks Opta Micro Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)® from Arduino. This easy-to-use controller allows designers to scale industrial automation projects with the help of the open Arduino ecosystem. The Opta PLC facilitates real-time control, monitoring, and predictive maintenance, making it an ideal choice for industrial Internet of Things (IoT) and automation application development.
The Arduino Opta micro PLC, now available from Mouser, is based on STMicroelectronics' STM32H747XI dual-core microcontroller, featuring an Arm core.® Cortex®-High-performance M7 running at up to 480 MHz and a low-power Cortex-M4 core running at up to 240 MHz, along with a shared Floating Point Unit (FPU).
The Opta is marketed in three variants:
- Opta Lite, including Ethernet and USB Type-C™ connectivity for programming
- Opta RS485, incorporating half duplex RS485 compatibility
- Opta WiFi, which includes radios for Wi-Fi connectivity® y Bluetooth® low energy (BLE)
All models support over-the-air updates and include a specific secure element for cryptographic guarantees, as well as relays to switch four loads of up to 2,3 kW each. The highly versatile controllers also include optional support for IEC 61131-3 standard PLC programming languages and fieldbus integration via Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU.
Opta PLCs were recently featured in a Mouser webinar. Featuring two expert Arduino speakers, the webinar provides device designers with everything they need to know to develop and scale their industrial automation projects.
