Industrial PLCs: Open-Source Power for Industrial Control

Industrial Shields offers a comprehensive range of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) designed to provide the flexibility of open-source software within a rugged, industrial-grade hardware environment. These controllers are specifically engineered for “Design-in” strategies, allowing for seamless integration into complex industrial projects from the earliest development stages.

Key PLC Families:

  • M-Duino Series (Arduino-Based): High-performance PLCs based on the Arduino Mega. These units offer a high density of I/Os and are ideal for complex automation tasks requiring extensive connectivity.

  • Ardbox Series (Arduino-Based): Compact and efficient controllers based on the Arduino Leonardo, perfect for smaller-scale automation and monitoring applications.

  • ESP32 PLC Range: Engineered for speed and wireless connectivity, these controllers leverage the ESP32 processor to provide integrated WiFi and Bluetooth for modern IIoT applications.

Technical Features & Advantages:

  • Industrial Standards: All PLCs are designed for professional environments, featuring DIN-rail mounting, 12-24VDC power input, and full compliance with EMC and safety regulations.

  • Flexible Programming: Developers can utilize the standard Arduino IDE or professional PLC IDEs (IEC 61131-3), eliminating the need for expensive, proprietary software licenses.

  • Robust Connectivity: Native support for essential industrial communication protocols, including Modbus (RTU/TCP), Ethernet, RS485, RS232, I2C, and SPI.

  • Reliable Hardware: Every unit is built to withstand harsh conditions, ensuring long-term project protection and high reliability for industrial automation.
