Arduino Pro Opta Ext A0602
The snap-on expansion module to enhance Arduino Opta’s applications with the addition of 2 analog and 4 PWM digital outputs.
Overview
Arduino Pro Opta Ext A0602 enhances your Arduino Opta’s real-time control, monitoring and predictive maintenance applications with the addition of 6 programmable inputs, 2 programmable outputs and 4 PWM outputs.
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 include:
- Flexible inputs: 4 analog inputs, user-programmable for 0-10 V, 0/4-20 mA, or temperature measurement via RTD PT100 2 wires and 2 analog inputs, user-programmable for 0-10 V, 0/4-20 mA, or temperature measurement via RTD 3-wire PT100 sensors.
- Configurable outputs: 2 analog outputs (0-10 V or 0/4-20 mA).
- 4 digital PWM outputs.
- 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
Increase with great efficiency the variety of analog data managed by any physical solution, from sensors to actuators, both with 0-10 V and 0/4-20 mA signals. The data, collected in real time and with great accuracy, allows you to monitor and control industrial applications automatically, with Opta’s impeccable precision.

Everyone in the world of smart and digital automation is getting ready to meet at SPS in Nuremberg. It’s the place to be if you want to see the future come to life – and of course a great opportunity to get to know Arduino better, with live demos and the chance to talk directly to our experts. Come visit booth 5-338 to discover our growing ecosystem of solutions and see it in action! “Since the 2022 edition of SPS, we’ve launched dozens of components, released software upgrades and added new services. But that’s only half the story. What we strive to achieve is to enable millions of Arduino users to imagine, implement and truly innovate. Our mission is to make technology accessible to all, to see people achieve the impossible. The maker philosophy may have started with tinkering in a messy garage, but has evolved into a distinct professional approach that allows everyone to seize the opportunities that come with the most disruptive phenomena of the present.”– Adriano Chinello, Pro Business Unit Leader at Arduino Without doubt, automation is one of the strongest trends we see today, with huge potential for future development. That’s why the applications we’ll showcase at SPS run the gamut from super-powerful edge computing to energy monitoring systems. For example, in Nuremberg you can check out how the Portenta X8 combines with the Portenta Max Carrier to deploy a secure, industrial-grade Linux computer – ready to interact with equipment in the factory or integrate with existing smart kiosks by creating a multi-protocol gateway that collects data from various onsite controllers, processes them and sends them to the Cloud via Wi-Fi, LoRa®, NB/IoT or LTE Cat.M1. Or you can find out how the Portenta Machine Control can be integrated in an electric panel to monitor consumption and other energy-related parameters... or team up with a Nicla Vision to control a robotic arm that automatically picks items from a conveyor belt and places
