In the context of Arduino, a PLC refers to an Arduino-based Programmable Logic Controller. It combines the flexibility and simplicity of Arduino microcontrollers with the ruggedness and functionality of traditional PLCs. These devices are designed for hobbyists, students, and professionals who want to implement automation projects using Arduino.
Key Features of Arduino-Based PLCs:
Arduino Core: These PLCs are built around Arduino boards (e.g., Arduino Uno, Mega) or similar microcontrollers, making them programmable using the Arduino IDE.
I/O Options: They offer multiple input/output (I/O) terminals for connecting sensors, switches, motors, relays, and other devices.
Durability: While not as robust as industrial PLCs, Arduino-based PLCs are often housed in enclosures to protect them in moderate environments.
Expandability: Many models are compatible with Arduino shields or modules, allowing for easy expansion.
Cost-Effective: They are significantly cheaper than traditional PLCs, making them ideal for learning, prototyping, and small-scale projects.
These devices bridge the gap between accessible Arduino programming and the structured control environment of traditional PLCs.
