Arduino OPTA PLC IDE - Ladder Diagram First Program

The Arduino Opta IoT PLC allows you to conveniently program it using the Arduino PLC IDE in ladder diagram format. This is the most common industrial PLC language, a simple and intuitive method. Additionally, you can program it in any of the five official languages specified in the IEC standard and using sketches written in C++.
However, this article will solely concentrate on programming the Opta PLC using ladder logic, widely used in industrial automation and control applications. With ladder logic, you can easily design and implement logical operations by creating ladder diagrams that resemble the rungs of a ladder, making it a very effective and efficient programming technique. Let's get started building the PLC ladder diagram.

I dont have the same variable as shown in your library, did you add more? For instance, I dont have a Button_Input

The industrial input sensors are 24v. Can we connect directly?

This might be a bit of an ask, but it would be good if you could show how to connect the arduino Opta to SCADA platform like Ignition (using Modbus TCP probably). There is very little documentation online and quite tricky to figure out. Cheers

I am not sure where this device is supposed to fit. It doesnt have expandable IO and its price point puts it in the same space as the click, logo and easy e4.
