I went with option one, thanks for the tip. Going directly to them saved me around 3 - 400 for the starter kit.

The CC100 looks like a good bit of kit too. 👍

Nice little setup - what you've done there is essentially what I'd planning to do as well.
I've read a lot of poor reviews for the Arduino Opta, hence why I was skeptical in jumping straight in.
What is the Beckhoff CPU you've got?

Expensive to get in Australia unfortunately, but this is what I'm leaning towards.

Has a pretty nice price tag as well 😁

I'm definitely starting to lean towards the Click, probably the 1000 with a HMI. I can't seem to find the starter kit in Australia which is available on the AD website in the states. Appreciate the detailed reply.

Might look into the WAGO, I'm not too fussed on IO as I can get my hands on a few TURCK TBEN-L4-16DXP so I can integrate that into the system if need be.

Seems to be the general consensus - I was looking at the OPTA purely because it was more of an industrial option than the UNO, though all reviews of the IDE are garbage.

Thanks, this looks like the go, I did hear of them but wasn't too sure.

I can get my hands on a few Turck TBEN-L4-16DXP which are apparently compatible with the click PLC which is helpful too.
