Arduino Opta RS485 AFX00001 PLC communication module 12 V DC, 24 V DC

Arduino Opta is a secure, easy-to-use micro-PLC with industrial IoT functions. Developed in collaboration with Finder, a leading manufacturer of devices for industrial and building automation, it enables professional users to extend their automation projects and thereby use the advantages of the open and well-known Arduino ecosystem. Thanks to its computing power, the Arduino Opta offers a wide range of real-time control, monitoring and predictive maintenance applications.

Make use of the many software libraries available for a quick use of libraries. The built-in security element guarantees over-the-air firmware updates and remote control via the Arduino Cloud or third-party services.

Conveyor belt management
By integrating a load cell or an image processing system, Arduino Opta can control the entire flow of goods in production. In an automated filling system, for example, it can ensure that the correct amount of liquid is present in each container. It can also check that each box contains the desired quantity of bottles.

Gather time information for automatic labeling
Arduino Opta can synchronize the clock via the Network Time Protocol (NTP) and automatically interact with the printers on the production line for this information on the product packaging.

Real-time monitoring in production
Production data can be visualized locally via an HMI or even by connecting to the Arduino Opta via Bluetooth® Low Energy. The simplicity of Arduino Cloud allows you to remotely display custom dashboards; this product is also compatible with other major cloud providers.

Automated anomaly detection
Thanks to its computing power, the Arduino Opta can use mechanical learning algorithms that are able to detect when a process on the production line deviates from its usual behavior.

Tank management
The Arduino Opta is able to collect information from many connected sensors in order to determine the threshold value of the tank contents; it can then control the pumps via Modbus TCP via the Ethernet connection or Modbus RTU via the RS485 terminal strip. The operation of the pumps, as well as the inlet and outlet valves can be triggered when thresholds are reached or when required, and the overall status can be continuously monitored via the cloud.

Intelligent control of shutters
By interacting with the network, Arduino Opta can improve people's quality of life by controlling household and office equipment. Control your blinds, sun protection or irrigation systems in an intelligent, configurable and adaptable way. With RTC and NTP, Opta can configure pre-set scenarios and set calendar-based events based on holidays and winter/summer time changes, as well as weekly routines.

Power monitoring and optimization
It is now easy to analyze usage patterns and plan the operation of the device to save energy. Thanks to the powerful STM32H7 microcontroller and onboard connectivity, Arduino Opta can use mechanical learning algorithms and allows users to remotely monitor energy consumption.

Intelligent operation of the sunscreen
Arduino Opta is able to automate the operation of solar protection systems and trigger events based on information collected by a weather station or the input from rain, sun and wind sensors. Arduino Opta can be configured using routines and interact with the cloud for status monitoring or remote control of devices.

Controlling HVAC systems
Arduino Opta is Ideal for the easy interaction with HVAC systems (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning). It can control ventilation and filtering processes as needed based on AI algorithms. Opta is able to make decisions based on data patterns generated by air quality sensors such as CO2 particulate matter, temperature and humidity sensors.
