Arduino PLC IDE
Boost production and building automation with your own Industry 4.0 control system The IDE that allows you to program using IEC 61131-3 standard languages The Arduino PLC IDE allows you to program Portenta Machine Control and Arduino Opta using the five programming languages defined by the IEC 61131-3 standard: - Ladder Diagram - Functional Block Diagram - Structured Text - Sequential Function Chart - Instruction List You can mix PLC programming with Arduino sketches within the integrated sketch editor, and seamlessly share variables between the two environments. Bring deterministic cyclic tasks and multitasking to your software application: leverage automation to define timings and repetition of all your mission-critical tasks.
To program with IEC 61131-3, you will need to unlock the hardware with a lifetime license key, available on our Store. Access ready-to-use sketches and extensive library – or customize your code from scratch Enables PLC engineers to leverage IEC 61131-3 programming languages within the Arduino environment Easy and intuitive programming experience for deterministic cyclic tasks and multitasking No-code industrial fieldbus support (Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, and CANopen are integrated) Function blocks and libraries are available for a low-code approach Quickly port existing PLC applications to Arduino hardware Wide set of debugging tools: watch windows, breakpoints with step-by-step execution, triggers, Oscilloscope, Live Debug Mode
