## Description

Arduino Pro Opta Ext D1608E enhances your [Arduino Opta’](https://core-electronics.com.au/arduino-opta-wifi.html)s real-time control, monitoring and predictive maintenance applications with the addition of 16 programmable voltage inputs and 8 electromechanical relays 250 VAC 6A to operate your machines.

Just snap on the module to extend your system’s capabilities flexibly and quickly, and manage the new I/Os from the Opta base unit seamlessly, taking advantage of the open and widely known Arduino ecosystem or [PLC IDE](https://www.arduino.cc/pro/software-plc-ide) IEC 61131-3 programming environment.

**Key benefits:**

- Flexible inputs: 16 new inputs for your applications per each expansion added, programmable as digital 0-24 VDC or analog 0-10 V.
- Powerful outputs: 8 electromechanical relays offering 250 VAC for 6A each.
- Up to 5 snap-on modules can be managed to multiply and mix a set of I/Os with seamless detection: snap them right next to your Opta base module and use the I/Os as native Opta resources.
- Extend your hardware capabilities while keeping programming accessible, by using the Arduino IDE with its wide range of ready-to-use sketches, tutorials and libraries.
- Put your new I/Os easily to work with the [PLC IDE](https://www.arduino.cc/pro/software-plc-ide) for IEC 61131-3 PLC languages, taking advantage of its low-code approach and pre-mapped resources.
- Extend the Opta’s benefits of real-time remote monitoring via intuitive Arduino Cloud dashboards and secure communication to a wider set of connected devices.
- Reliable by design, thanks to industrial certifications and Finder’s expertise in electronic devices.
- Easy DIN rail installation.
 
**Applications**

Opta’s digital expansions are ideal to increase the number of real-time control points in the manufacturing sector and in any building automation project. 
The Opta Ecosystem is compatible with all major cloud providers – but choosing the simplicity of [Arduino Cloud](https://cloud.arduino.cc/) can really make a difference, for anyone who wants to build, customize and remotely manage their own dashboards.
