Arduino PLC IDE

Boost production and building automation with your own Industry 4.0 control system

Download the PLC IDE

The IDE that allows you to program using IEC 61131-3 standard languages

The Arduino PLC IDE allows you to program Portenta Machine Control and Arduino Opta using the five programming languages defined by the IEC 61131-3 standard:

  • Ladder Diagram
  • Functional Block Diagram
  • Structured Text
  • Sequential Function Chart
  • Instruction List

You can mix PLC programming with Arduino sketches within the integrated sketch editor, and seamlessly share variables between the two environments. Bring deterministic cyclic tasks and multitasking to your software application: leverage automation to define timings and repetition of all your mission-critical tasks. Manage CANOpen, Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP communication with the integrated no-code fieldbus configurators.

A highly configurable UI offers a comfortable unified programming environment, with the option to use a wide set of pre-installed libraries and function blocks or create custom libraries.

A complete set of monitoring and debugging tools provides a powerful workbench for professionals: get an instant view of all PLC operations while debugging thanks to the Live Debug Mode, and easily dive into code analysis with the PLC IDE Oscilloscope.

To program with IEC 61131-3, you will need to unlock the hardware with a lifetime license key, available on our Store.
