The M-Duino Industrial Ethernet Arduino PLC w/ LoRa Connectivity (EU-USA) is an industrial-grade programmable logic controller that incorporates Arduino technology, tailored for professional use within automation settings. This PLC boasts a comprehensive array of 21 I/Os, which includes analog inputs and digital opto-isolated inputs and outputs. It is well-equipped with a multitude of industrial communication interfaces such as I2C, RS232, RS485, SPI, among others.
A prominent feature of this PLC is its LoRa connectivity, enabling long-range wireless communication that is particularly suitable for Internet of Things (IoT) networks and applications in Smart Cities, or in regions with limited connectivity, including agricultural sectors and sensor/actuator networks. The LoRa technology is celebrated for its robust interference resistance, exceptional receiver sensitivity, minimal power requirements, and extensive communication range.
Furthermore, the PLC is compatible with a variety of communication protocols and technologies, including DALI for sophisticated lighting control, GPRS for remote monitoring and management via text messages, and WiFi & BLE facilitated by the ESP32 WiFi/Bluetooth module.
The controllers modularity allows for expansion with a significant number of I2C modules, enabling the control of a vast network of I/Os in a master-slave configuration, as well as the integration of additional sensor modules. Programming can be executed using the Arduino IDE platform, with the option for immediate connection and coding through USB ports or remotely via the Ethernet port.
The M-Duino Industrial Arduino PLC w/ LoRa Connectivity (EU-USA) stands out as a versatile and adaptable solution for a myriad of industrial automation applications.
