Synopsis

For courses in PLC Fundamentals, Advanced PLC Programming and Automation.

This volume is designed to help readers develop a good general working knowledge of programmable controllers with concentration on relay ladder logic techniques and how a PLC is connected to external components in an operating control system. The text uses real world programming problems that students can solve on any available programmable controller or PLC simulator. Later chapters relate to more advanced subjects in machine controls, which makes this a welcome addition to a personal technical reference library.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

Programmable Logic Controllers provides the student with a general working knowledge of the various PLC brands and models. Programming concepts applicable to virtually all controllers are discussed, and practical programming problems are presented throughout the text. A basic understanding of AC/DC circuits, electronic devices (including thyristors), basic logic gates, flip-flops, Boolean algebra, and college algebra and trigonometry is a prerequisite. The PLC simulation CD that accompanies the text provides hands-on programming experience.
