The Arduino Opta can be programmed with basically two different software packages. The Arduino IDE and the Arduino PLC IDE. Arduino IDE is the traditional programming package for sketches (programs). C++ is used in sketches to develop your logic. Arduino PLC IDE will transform the Arduino Opta into a micro-PLC controller. Programs can be written in the standard IDE 611312-3 standard languages. These are Ladder Diagram, Function Block Diagram, Structured Text, Sequential Function Chart, and Instruction List. You can also mix PLC programming with Arduino sketches within the PLC IDE software. This Arduino PLC IDE environment brings deterministic cyclic tasks and multitasking to your application. We will be installing both software packages on our computer. Note: You do not have to purchase a software license for the Arduino PLC IDE when programming an OPTA controller. We will discuss the differences between these two programming methods and features as we install the software. Let’s get started.

The Opta can be programmed with Arduino IDE 1.8.10+, Arduino IDE 2.0+, or Arduino Web Editor. We will install the Arduino IDE 2.1.0, the latest major release of the software. Download the software from the links below. Our computer is Windows 11, so we will install Win 10 and newer, 64-Bit version. The Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment) - contains a text editor for writing code, a message area, a text console, a toolbar with buttons for common functions, and a series of menus. It connects to the Arduino hardware (Opta) to upload programs and communicate with them. This IDE includes a simplified version of C++ language, with a simplified syntax and additional libraries specific to the Arduino platform. Upon powering up the Arduino IDE, it will automatically update itself upon you giving permission. Select the board manager and search for Opta. Select Opta to download the latest board information. Note: The Arduino IDE and Arduino PLC IDE are different programming software packages. Only the Arduino PLC IDE software will allow the OPTA to run as a PLC.

We will be wiring an Opta PLC input to a 12 to 24 VDC sensor. The Opta IoT PLC datasheet specifies that the supply voltage should be 12 to 24VDC. The inputs will turn on when the voltage reaches 6.6 VDC and off when it drops to 4.46 VDC. The Opta's discrete inputs (on/off) will switch to +DC voltage. Since the controller input common is at 0 VDC, this is considered a sinking input. You can refer to a post that covers the wiring of NPN and PNP 3-wire sensors for more information. We wired a 10 to 36 VDC CK1-00-2H capacitive proximity sensor as a PNP output. Our Opta PLC input will replace the load shown as a box in the sensor wiring diagram.

This video discusses the Arduino PLC IDE in Instruction List (IL) format, an industrial programming language that is simple and intuitive for those familiar with mnemonic program code. The Opta PLC can be programmed using any of the five official languages specified in the IEC standard and sketches written in C++. This article will focus on programming the Opta PLC using an "Instruction List" to create control programs that resemble simple mnemonic programming. This technique effectively and efficiently implements logical operations in industrial automation and control applications. Our Program will turn on the CPU LED when it is running.

The Arduino Opta IoT PLC offers a convenient way to program it using the Arduino PLC IDE in function block diagram (FBD) format. This is a simple and intuitive method, and it is one of the industrial PLC languages. In addition to FBD, you can program the Opta PLC using any of the five official languages specified in the IEC standard and sketches written in C++. The Function Block Diagram (FBD) is a graphical language used to design programmable logic controllers. It allows you to describe the function between input and output variables using a set of elementary blocks. These blocks can be connected to input and output variables using connection lines. When wiring the inputs and outputs of the blocks, you can use single lines to connect two logical points of the diagram. This includes connecting an input variable to an input of a block, connecting an output of a block to an input of another block, or connecting an output of a block to an output variable. The connection lines are oriented, carrying associated data from the left to the right. It's important to note that the left and right ends of the connection line must be the same type. In addition, you can use multiple right connections, also known as divergence, to broadcast information from the left end of the connection line to each of its right ends. However, it's essential to ensure that all ends of the connection are of the same type. Now that we understand the basics of the Function Block Diagram (FBD) let's dive into starting a new project and mapping the physical I/O in the Opta PLC.

Sequential Function Chart (SFC) is a graphical programming language that can be used in Arduino Opta PLCs.  It can be used to program sequential control systems in industrial automation applications. It is a part of the IEC 61131-3 standard and is commonly used in programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and other industrial control systems. SFC allows programmers to create complex control sequences by breaking them down into small, manageable steps. It consists of interconnected steps, each containing actions, conditions, and transitions. These steps are executed in a predetermined order based on the conditions and transitions defined in the chart. SFC is particularly useful for complex, multistage control systems, such as manufacturing and process control applications. The Arduino Opta PLC supports sequential function chart programming as one of the five programming languages in the IEC standard and Arduino C++. This lets you choose the programming language that best suits your needs and preferences. Arduino C++ is a widely used programming language in the Arduino community and offers a vast library of functions and resources.
