    About PLCs
    industrial info icon

    Select the sensors, switches, and actuators in your setup and we'll guide you to compatible PLCs.

    Fast-Processing Open-Source PLCs

    Image of Product. Front orientation. PLCs. Fast-Processing Open-Source PLCs.
    When milliseconds matter, these PLCs don't have to wait for your network—they process complex data and run code locally. The result is real-time performance in the field, plus cloud connectivity when you want it, for truly uninterrupted operation. These PLCs support Python, C++, Bash, and other open-source languages, so you can program them in the one you know. You can also use customizable libraries to your advantage.
    Write code from anywhere—on any device and browser—using the manufacturer’s free web-based software. When you’re ready, transfer your program to the PLC with an Ethernet RJ45 cord, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi. In addition to wireless communication, these PLCs have a range of hardwire connections, including digital inputs and outputs, Ethernet, and serial terminals. This means they can control a fully wireless system, a wired setup with legacy equipment, or a hybrid of both. Mount them to 35 mm DIN rail.

    Single-Board Computers

    Combine the functionality of a PC with the flexibility of a development board’s digital inputs and outputs. These computers are faster than development boards and also have more memory, so they’re able to run multiple applications simultaneously. Use them to prototype or program complex automation jobs, such as controlling the movements of a robot arm or livestreaming video from a remote facility. About the size of a credit card, they easily mount inside control cabinets.
    These computers run on a Linux-based operating system. To program, download an operating system onto a micro SD card (not included) and then transfer it to the single-board computer.
    Use sets to start prototyping automation systems.
