+<FeatureDescription>
+
+**Arduino Opta® Analog Expansions** are designed to multiply your Opta® micro PLC capabilities with the addition of eight programmable analog inputs for connecting your digital or analog sensors, allowing you to interface with voltage, current or resistive sensors, eight analog outputs for voltage or current and four PWM outputs.
+
+Opta Analog Expansion allows professionals to scale up industrial and building automation projects while taking advantage of the Arduino ecosystem.

+
+<Feature title="Configurability" image="configurability">
+
+  All the eight available channels can be configured by software as analog input or analog output. Two of those channels can get 3 wires RTD readings and the expansions have four additional PWM outputs, with a user-defined output voltage configurable from 8 to 40 VDC using the V<sub>PWM</sub> terminal.

+
+<Feature title="Expandability" image="communication">
+
+  Up to five snap-on modules managed to multiply and mix your set of I/Os with seamless detection. 
+
+</Feature>
+
+<Feature title="Industrial Temperature Range" image="temperature-sensor">
+
+  Arduino Opta® Analog Expansion has a highly reliable design operating at industrial temperature ranges (-20 °C to +50 °C).
