Product description
Arduino PLC Starter Kit is an educational starter kit for PLC training. The starter kit and its course provide a perfect bridge between theory and practical applications in PLC and industrial control. The user is introduced to programming and installation of PLC systems for industrial automation. It delivers practical learning in industrial automation — from fundamental logic (e.g., conveyor belts, alarms, temperature control) to advanced cloud-connected systems and smart control.
The kit is suitable for students age 18–25 at schools and technical universities, as well as for individuals with interest in control, monitoring, and automation of electrical systems. It is ideal for developing energy‑efficient solutions, building management, industrial manufacturing, and much more.
The starter kit is included in Arduino Education’s educational offerings.
