The Productivity®Open is an Industrial Open-Source Controller (Arduino-Compatible) control platform. This new take on the Arduino-compatible platform makes it possible to use the versatile open-source Arduino technology in the Industrial environment. With Arduino products entering this realm, the question will be if it can replace a PLC. This is a thought-provoking topic and not one that should not be taken lightly. When comparing a PLC vs Industrial Open-Source Controller (Arduino-Compatible) there are some concerns that you should be aware of. This video will detail some of the differences in the platforms and help the viewer see some methods to get the best performance out of both.
