 Presentation

• AtmelPLC is an open
source alternative for
industrial and home
automation.
• Its concept is based on
platform used widely in
industries called PLC –
Programmable Logic
Controllers.
• This project uses an
Atmega328 as a main
processor.

 Features

AtmelPLC main features:

• Two protected 24v digital inputs

• Four protected 24v digital outputs and where two
of them are PWM outputs
• Four protected 24v analog inputs
• USB-communication also used for programming
• SPI and I2C buses for peripheral and IO expansion
• Open source IDE with C++ programming
• Open source IDE with ladder logic programming
 Architecture

• The picture above illustrates the AtmelPLC’s inputs, outputs

and its communication buses.
• The digital inputs will be optoisolated and analog inputs will
have a circuitry to isolate and convert 24v to 5v
• The outputs will be two types : two relay based (for 250vac
controlled application ) and two digital outputs
 Applications

• This project aims to show the home automation

control to demonstrate the potential of hardware
and software of AtmelPLC.
• Such applications may involve functions like
reading sensors, mapping input and output,
controlling relays and powersemiconductor
devices.
• The applications can also be extended to control
motors and actuators that have voltage and
current compatible with common PLC’s on the
market.
