Arduino PLC Starter Kit
Plug into the future of industrial automation with the PLC Starter Kit, designed to bridge between theory and practice, closing the gap in current PLC education and preparing students for real-world challenges.
Overview
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) technology is vital for industrial automation, but gaps still exist between current PLC education and industry. To cultivate a robust industrial workforce, Arduino introduces a dedicated educational kit - Arduino PLC Starter Kit.
With this kit, you get 20+ hours of lessons with the Explore PLC course. Your students can learn about Programmable Logic Controllers, Modbus RS-485 communications, and integration with industrial simulated systems, among other comprehensive topics.
There’s also support for five PLC programming languages, which means you can program the kit effortlessly using the Arduino PLC IDE. This user-friendly environment simplifies PLC programming for both you and your students. Choose from any of the five programming languages defined by the IEC 61131-3 standard (Ladder, Functional Block Diagram, Structured Text, Sequential Function Chart, or Instruction List) to swiftly code PLC applications or port existing ones to Arduino Opta.
Additionally, the Arduino Opta WiFi can be programmed and integrated into an industrial automation system with our powerful IDE 2. The Arduino IDE 2 is a huge improvement on our classic IDE, with increased performance, improved user interface, and many new features, such as autocompletion, a built-in debugger and syncing sketches with Cloud.
Cloud-ready hardware
The PLC Starter Kit integrates seamlessly with Arduino Cloud services for IoT projects, enabling remote control functionalities for both classroom and real-world scenarios. This is our simplest and low-code way to get started with connected projects.
All hardware provided with the kit is also fully documented in our Arduino Docs page, where hundreds of tutorials, datasheets, guides and technical documentation are published.
Key benefits include:
- Pro industrial automation with reliability and power for complex projects
- Learning content that aligns with the industrial automation curriculum
- Programming that is easy, approachable, and efficient
- Dive straight into practical applications with Arduino's signature ease-of-use, flexibility, and a vast library of software
Course: Explore PLC
With 20 hours of projects and many more tutorials, you have everything you need to teach programmable logic control in your classroom.
Projects include getting started, an introduction to the software, PLC history, communication protocols, digital input simulator learning, networks, and counting - all accessed through one easy-to-use portal connected to the Arduino Cloud.

… usar, los alumnos simplemente tienen que conectar el dispositivo Android a la placa, montar el proyecto, y después usa los sensores que contiene la shield y los módulos plug-and-play para simular las atracciones. Los datos son transmitidos del experimento a el dispositivo móvil del alumno via Bluetooth, donde se puede ver y analizar el resultado obtenido en la app Science Journal de Google o en las fichas de los alumnos. Arduino Education Science Kit Physics Lab no está pensado para usarse únicamente en clase. De hecho, los alumnos pueden usar el kit en exteriores para convertir su recreo en su propia feria de ciencia aplicando los conceptos que han aprendido, y así, diseñar y probar sus propias atracciones. Basado en el uso de Arduino MKR WiFi 1010 , que es un laboratorio portátil incluyendo un grupo de sensores para medir luminosidad, temperatura, movimiento, campos magnéticos y mucho más… todo esto en una caja Gratnells protectora. Arduino Education apunta a apoyar a los profesores proporcionando nuestros programas, contenido online y las hojas del alumno en el mayor número de idiomas posible: no solo en los idiomas Europeos relevantes, por ejemplo, Árabe y Japonés están planeados para futuras actualizaciones. Lo siguientes idiomas para Science Kit Physics Lab serán Alemán, Húngaro y Portugués. MÁS INFORMACIÓN Da oggi Science Kit è disponibile anche in italiano e spagnolo. Nel Gennaio 2019, in collaborazione con Google, Arduino Science Kit Physics Lab è stato lanciato sul mercato, per studenti di scuola media (tra 11 e 14 anni) e non solo, con l'obiettivo di esplorare la scienza, divertendosi. Da oggi, i contenuti del corso sono disponibili in italiano e spagnolo, rendendolo ancora più accessibile. “Sei tu che esperimenti in prima persona, ed è stato davvero divertente poterlo fare” ha commentato uno studente inglese dell'accademia di ARK Burlington Danes.
