The snap-on expansion module to enhance Arduino Opta’s applications with the addition of 16 programmable voltage inputs and 8 solid-state relays.

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.

Controlling a drum machine with the Arduino Opta
Controlling a drum machine with the Arduino Opta
June 25, 2024

Makers have long asked the question “why bother with an expensive PLC when I can just use an Arduino?” The answer comes down to the priorities and needs of industrial clients. In a factory automation setting, the client will prioritize durability, reliability, and serviceability over the one-time purchase price of the device itself. But to prove that Arduino’s professional turnkey solutions are just as easy to use as their developer-focused educational counterparts, Jeremy Cook leveraged an Arduino Opta micro PLC to build a drum machine. This isn’t any old drum machine that plays sound samples or synthesized notes, but rather a robotic drum machine that makes noise by banging on stuff like a true percussion instrument. Cook could have built this with any Arduino board and a few relays, but instead chose to implement the Opta and new Opta Digital Expansion. That is robust enough for serious commercial and industrial applications, but is still simple to program with the familiar Arduino IDE. Programmers can also use conventional PLC languages if they prefer. In this case, Cook made noise with relays and solenoids. The Opta has four built-in relays and Cook’s sketch flips one of them to make a sound analogous to a hi-hat. Cook added an Arduino Pro Opta Ext D1608S module with its solid-state relays for the other two “drums.” One of those fires a solenoid that taps a small hand drum (the kick drum sound), while the other controls a solenoid that hits a power supply enclosure (the snare sound). Together, those three sounds can cover the basics of a drum track. Cook’s sketch is a drum sequencer program that stores each sound sequence as array, looping through them until turned off.  An Opta may be overkill for a project like this one, but this does a great job of demonstrating the ease at which an Arduino user can transition to professional PLC work.
