Overview
Arduino Pro Opta Ext D1608S enhances your Arduino Opta’s real-time control, monitoring and predictive maintenance applications with the addition of 16 programmable voltage inputs and 8 solid-state relays 24 VDC 2A.
Just snap on the module to extend your system’s capabilities flexibly and quickly, and manage the new I/Os from the Opta base unit seamlessly, taking advantage of the open and widely known Arduino ecosystem or PLC IDE IEC 61131-3 programming environment.
Key benefits:
- Flexible inputs: 16 new inputs for your applications per each expansion added, programmable as digital 0-24 VDC or analog 0-10 V.
- Powerful outputs: 8 solid-state relays offering 24 VDC for 2A each.
- Up to 5 snap-on modules can be managed to multiply and mix a set of I/Os with seamless detection: snap them right next to your Opta base module and use the I/Os as native Opta resources.
- Extend your hardware capabilities while keeping programming accessible, by using the Arduino IDE with its wide range of ready-to-use sketches, tutorials and libraries.
- Put your new I/Os easily to work with the PLC IDE for IEC 61131-3 PLC languages, taking advantage of its low-code approach and pre-mapped resources.
- Extend the Opta’s benefits of real-time remote monitoring via intuitive Arduino Cloud dashboards and secure communication to a wider set of connected devices.
- Reliable by design, thanks to industrial certifications and Finder’s expertise in electronic devices.
- Easy DIN rail installation.
Applications
Opta’s digital expansions are ideal to increase the number of real-time control points in the manufacturing sector and in any building automation project.
The Opta Ecosystem is compatible with all major cloud providers – but choosing the simplicity of Arduino Cloud can really make a difference, for anyone who wants to build, customize and remotely manage their own dashboards.

As Jallson Suryo discusses in his project, adding voice controls to our appliances typically involves an internet connection and a smart assistant device such as Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. This means extra latency, security concerns, and increased expenses due to the additional hardware and bandwidth requirements. This is why he created a prototype based on an Arduino Nicla Voice that can provide power for up to four outlets using just a voice command. Suryo gathered a dataset by repeating the words “one," “two," “three," “four," “on," and “off” into his phone and then uploaded the recordings to an Edge Impulse project. From here, he split the files into individual words before rebalancing his dataset to ensure each label was equally represented. The classifier model was trained for keyword spotting and used Syntiant NDP120-optimal settings for voice to yield an accuracy of around 80%. Apart from the Nicla Voice, Suryo incorporated a Pro Micro board to handle switching the bank of relays on or off. When the Nicla Voice detects the relay number, such as “one” or “three," it then waits until the follow-up “on” or “off” keyword is detected. With both the number and state now known, it sends an I2C transmission to the accompanying Pro Micro which decodes the command and switches the correct relay.
