Opta Analog Expansion

The Arduino Opta® Analog Expansion is a plug-and-play extension to the Opta® PLC Controller that expands its capabilities with more inputs with multiple functions such as digital, analog voltage, analog current or temperature and more outputs with analog voltage, analog current and PWM functionalities. Fully compatible with the Arduino Ecosystem.

Downloadable resources

Arduino Opta® Analog Expansions are designed to multiply your Opta® micro PLC capabilities with the addition of eight programmable analog inputs for connecting your digital or analog sensors, allowing you to interface with voltage, current or resistive sensors, eight analog outputs for voltage or current and four PWM outputs.

Opta Analog Expansion allows professionals to scale up industrial and building automation projects while taking advantage of the Arduino ecosystem.

Configurability
Configurability

All the eight available channels can be configured by software as analog input or analog output. Two of those channels can get 3 wires RTD readings and the expansions have four additional PWM outputs, with a user-defined output voltage configurable from 8 to 40 VDC using the VPWM terminal.

Communication
Expandability

Up to five snap-on modules managed to multiply and mix your set of I/Os with seamless detection.

Temperature Sensor
Industrial Temperature Range

Arduino Opta® Analog Expansion has a highly reliable design operating at industrial temperature ranges (-20 °C to +50 °C).
