4. Software interface

Industrial Shields PLC are programmed using Arduino IDE, which is a software based on the C

language. They can also be programmed using directly C but it is much easier working with

Arduino IDE as it provides lots of libraries that helps in the programming.

Furthermore Industrial Shields provides boards for programming the PLCs much easier.

Basically it is no needed to define the pins and if that pins are inputs or outputs. Everything is

set up automatically if using the boards.

In order to install Industrial Shields boards, these are the steps that must be followed.

Arduino IDE 1.8.0 or above (better to have always the latest version).

Steps:

1. Open Arduino IDE and go to: “File -> Preferences” located in the top left corner.
