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.

Control the air/fuel mixture for a better fuel economy of a engine with a Arduino Nano.
As climate change continues to worsen, events such as heavy rains, hurricanes, and atmospheric rivers have only intensified, and with them, large amounts of flooding that pose serious risks to life and property. Jude Pullen and Pete Milne, therefore, have responded by creating a "physical app" that can show the potential for flood dangers in real-time with sound, lights, and an ePaper display. The Arduino Nano 33 IoT powering the Flood Alert device sources its data from the UK Environmental Agency’s API to get statistics on an area’s latest risk level along with an extended description of what to expect. Initially, the electronics were mounted to a breadboard and housed within a cardboard enclosure, but a later revision moved everything to soldered protoboard, a 3D-printed case, and even added a piezoelectric buzzer to generate audible alerts. For now, the Flood Alert’s sole source of data is the aforementioned API, but Pullen hopes to expand his potential data sources to include “hyper-local” sensors that can all be aggregated and analyzed to give a much more precise view of flooding in a smaller area.
