Beyond mass production of your device, there is also a huge need for customized machines that make other things. These typically use robust programmable logic controllers (PLCs) with names like Siemens and Allen Bradley, which are programmed in ladder logic. Ladder logic will be unfamiliar to many in the world of Arduino, but not to presenter Jeremy Cook, who spent years working with such systems professionally. In this presentation, Jeremy will go over what the Arduino Opta PLC is, why it is useful, and show how to get started programming it.
