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.
