Is possible to program arduino NANO V3 with arduino PLC IDE?

is possible to program arduino NANO with arduino PLC IDE ? i need to make small project for home automation with nano board that will be enough for hardware but want to make small example with arduino plc ide for a customer that understand and work with lader diagrams.

after install a plc ide i see that work only with two big ones hardware devices. and also need to be licensed.

for small automation will be cool f plc ide support FOR FREE nano board v3 :slight_smile:

can i make some lader example to write it in nano board and work ??? or is not can happend for this times ???

I'm pretty sure the answer is no. Nano is a microcontroller board, not a PLC board.

every plc have a microcontroller and that is obvious for all plc that use in this days. like i say it need to make some small automation that is not need some bigger hardware and/or software massive data or extra electronic modules

Hello @karadev,
I'm Francesca from Arduino.

Arduino Nano is not supported by PLC IDE. This environment was specifically designed for our Solutions: Opta and Portenta Machine Control. You can learn more looking at this post https://forum.arduino.cc/t/plc-ide-with-the-portenta-h7-breakout-board/1116315/2?u=fr4ng
Have a good day!

What are the requirements for the hardware to work with the Arduino PLC IDE? It says the NANO is not compatible, but the NANO, of course, doesn't have any I/O capabilities of a PLC or even the required memory size.
Would Arduino-based PLCs from other brands, like Canaduino, work with the PLC IDE:

Or is the problem, not the capability but the compatibility? I mean, Arduino PLC IDE is actually not compatible with "Arduino" as we know it, and represents something completely different that only received the "Arduino" branding, but is not compatible with the Arduino environment?

TBQH, from an education perspective, teaching ladder or fblock programming while using a Nano or other 'small brain' hardware would be handy. One could, for example, gen up a course built around language equivalencies and differences, demonstrating to students how to do things in two or rhree different 'languages'. Beat the mysteries out of C, Ladder, IEC1131, etc. It would likely be a third or fourth tier course, after some programming theory and experience has been gained.
