Building Arduino PLCs: The essential techniques you need to develop Arduino-based PLCs
By Pradeeka Seneviratne
Learn the basics of PLCs and how to control them using Arduino software to create your first Arduino PLC. You will learn how to draw Ladder Logic diagrams to represent PLC designs for a wide range of automated applications and to convert diagrams to Arduino drawings. The comprehensive shopping guide includes the hardware and software components you need in the toolbox. You will learn to use Arduino UNO, Arduino Ethernet shield and Arduino WiFi shield. Arduino PLCs design shows you how to create and test a simple PLC logic level of 5V DC-based Arduino UNO with Base Base shield by connecting simple sensors and triggers.
