English | 2026 | True PDF | 344 pages | 25.2 MB

This book is about the Arduino microcontroller and the Arduino concept. The visionary Arduino represented a new innovation in microcontroller hardware in 2005, the concept of open source hardware, making a broad range of computing accessible for all.

This book, “Arduino VIII: Portenta Machine Control,” is an accessible primer on industrial control and programmable logic controller concepts for those without a deep instrumentation background. The Portenta Machine Control (PMC) is designed as an industrial control for equipment and machines. It couples a powerful dual processor microcontroller with industrial grade inputs and outputs. It also is equipped with a rich complement of onboard systems. An understanding of basic circuit theory is an appropriate prerequisite for the book. The three main goals for the book are: explore accessible Arduino Portenta Machine Control industrial control products; learn the fundamentals of programming using ladder logic; and explore related sensors and interface concepts. We use multiple examples throughout the book and conclude with an instrumented greenhouse project.

The book follows these chapters:
Chapter 1. Operational Technology and the Arduino Portenta Machine Control
Chapter 2. Arduino Portenta Machine Control features
Chapter 3. Connectivity and Communications
Chapter 4. Input Sensors, Output Actuators, and Interfacing
Chapter 5. Programming with the Arduino PLC IDE
Chapter 6. Application: Instrumented Greenhouse
Appendix A: Safety
Appendix B: Embedded Systems Design
Appendix C: Getting Started–Arduino UNO R3

Throughout the book we provide numerous hardware and software examples. A tutorial on safety concepts is readily available in Appendix A and referenced throughout the book. We recommend reading this appendix first (now) and regularly as you progress through the book. Appendix B provides a tutorial on system design concepts and tools. In Appendix C we provide information on how to use the Arduino UNO R3 processor. It is used in several examples.
