The 10 I/Os PLC Module is an industrial programmable logic controller based on the Arduino Nano. It provides a simple, cost-effective, and open-source approach to industrial monitoring and control, with standardised PLC connectors and support for RS485, Ethernet (TCP/IP, Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU), and optoisolated inputs and outputs.
Powered by 12–24V DC, the module is designed for real-world industrial environments with optoisolated digital I/O for reliable signal handling. Program it using the Arduino IDE and leverage the full Arduino ecosystem of libraries and community support.

Resources
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- ATmega328P
- An 8-bit microcontroller chip used on many Arduino Uno-compatible boards. Knowing the controller uses an ATmega328P helps you understand its memory, speed, pin compatibility, and the Arduino sketches it can run.
- EEPROM
- A type of non-volatile memory that keeps stored data even when power is turned off. In a sensor module, it can be used to store settings or calibration data so they do not need to be re-entered every time.
- IDE
- Short for Integrated Development Environment, a program used to write, run and manage code. It matters because some learners prefer a traditional coding workspace instead of a guided notebook-style lesson.
- Modbus
- Modbus is an industrial communication protocol used by many meters, sensors, PLCs, and automation devices. Modbus support matters because it can make the controller easier to integrate with existing industrial equipment.
- Modbus RTU
- Modbus RTU is a version of Modbus commonly used over RS485 serial wiring. It matters if you need to connect the controller to industrial sensors, meters, or drives that use serial Modbus rather than Ethernet.
- Modbus TCP
- Modbus TCP is a version of Modbus that runs over Ethernet networks. It matters when connecting the controller to industrial systems that communicate over standard network cabling.
- RS485
- RS485 is a robust wired serial communication standard often used in factories, farms, and buildings where cables may be long or electrically noisy. It matters because it lets this controller connect to industrial sensors, meters, and control equipment over longer distances than typical hobby serial wiring.
- SRAM
- Fast temporary memory used by a processor while a program is running. More SRAM helps with projects that handle larger data buffers, networking, displays, or more complex code.
