Ardbox QBuy
Ardbox Q · The first industrial PLC with Arduino UNO Q
One controller.
Two brains.
The first industrial PLC built on the Arduino UNO Q. Real-time control and Linux with AI, in one DIN-rail device.
From 225 €
Your PLC runs the machine.
A PC next to it handles the data.
Two devices. Two toolchains. Twice the wiring.
Now it's one.
How it works
Two processors. Each doing what it does best.
STM32U585 · Arduino IDE
Real-time control.
The control cycle runs on its own microcontroller. If a Linux application fails, the machine keeps running.
Qualcomm QRB2210 · Debian Linux
Data and AI at the edge.
Dashboards, data logging, protocol bridges and machine learning models, next to the process.
Who it is for
Built for the people who wire, run and maintain machines.
System integrators
One device instead of three.
No more PLC + gateway + edge PC on every project.
Production and maintenance
See the failure before the stop.
Anomaly detection on vibration, current or temperature, on the controller.
IIoT and data teams
Decide at the source.
Send only results. Production data stays inside the plant.
Applications
What you can build with it.
Predictive maintenance
Read vibration, current and temperature. Detect anomalies locally. Alert before failure.
Vision quality control
Connect a camera and run inspection models next to the line, with no cloud round trip.
Machine HMI
Serve dashboards from the device to any screen or browser in the plant.
Remote telemetry
Tanks, wells and remote stations. Process locally, sync only summaries.
IoT gateway
Read Modbus RTU field equipment and publish the data over MQTT.
Your own application
Python, containers or Node-RED on Linux, with real-time I/O on the same device.
Which Ardbox Q is right for you?
Same processor, software and tools. Choose how it connects to your field, and 2 GB or 4 GB of RAM.
Analog
Measurement and proportional control with 0 to 10 V signals.

Questions engineers ask first.
Is Ardbox Q a PLC or an industrial PC?
Both jobs in one device. A real-time microcontroller runs the control logic. A Linux processor runs the data, communication and AI workloads.
Which analog signals does it accept?
0 to 10 V on the analog inputs and outputs.
Can Linux affect the control cycle?
Control runs on a separate microcontroller. If a Linux application fails, the control cycle keeps running.
Are there licence fees?
No. The tools are open source and free to use.
Do I need a new programming environment?
No. The control side uses the Arduino IDE. The Linux side uses Python, containers or Node-RED. Arduino App Lab can manage both.
Which version should I choose?
Analog for measurement or proportional control. Relay for on/off switching of loads. Choose 4 GB for heavier AI models or vision.
Can it run AI models without a cloud connection?
Yes. Models run on the device, so data does not need to leave the plant.
What does it cost?
From 225 € (Relay, 2 GB) to 286.50 € (Analog, 4 GB). Volume pricing on request.
