The M-Duino Ethernet PLC Arduino 21 w/ GPRS is a sophisticated automation solution designed for professional environments. This modular controller integrates a variety of industrial communication protocols including I2C, RS232, RS485, and SPI, ensuring versatile connectivity options. It features multiple analog and opto-isolated digital inputs and outputs, providing robust control capabilities for a wide range of applications.
The PLC is equipped with LoRa connectivity, a long-range wireless modulation technology known for its high interference tolerance and low power consumption. LoRa is particularly suitable for IoT networks and applications where long-distance communication is required, such as smart cities and agricultural monitoring. The technology operates on low-frequency ISM bands, offering point-to-point connections with extended range and low data transfer rates.
Additionally, the PLC supports DALI, a communication protocol for lighting control that allows bidirectional communication with connected devices. This protocol is ideal for managing large lighting systems, offering energy savings and reduced maintenance costs through automated control. It can handle up to 64 devices, providing professional control over various lighting configurations.
For remote monitoring and control, the PLC includes GSM/GPRS connectivity, enabling the transmission of text messages (SMS) with static or dynamic content to predefined phone numbers. This feature is particularly useful for installations requiring important information to be sent to a supervision center.
The integration of WiFi and BLE technologies allows for secure, high-speed wireless communications with a wide range of digital devices, facilitating internet access and data exchange without the need for cables. The M-Duino family incorporates the ESP32 WiFi/Bluetooth module, enhancing the PLC's wireless capabilities.
This Arduino-based (Open Source Hardware) PLC is designed for seamless integration into industrial settings. It offers the possibility to expand with additional I2C modules, allowing for extensive control of a vast number of inputs and outputs. The PLC can be programmed using the Arduino IDE platform, providing ease of use for coding and instant connectivity for programming, maintenance, and control through USB and Ethernet ports.
Please note that this product is designed for professional use and should be handled with care. It is important to adhere to all operational guidelines to ensure safe and effective use.
