Build PLC applications that are easier to read, test, maintain, and extend. This practical guide focuses on IEC 61131-3 programming as it is used in real industrial projects, with patterns that support structured design rather than one-off code fragments.
Written for engineers who work with Structured Text, Ladder Diagram, Function Block Diagram, and Instruction List, the book explains how these languages fit into a coherent development approach. It covers scan cycle behavior, deterministic execution, data types, type conversion, and safe numeric handling, then moves into architecture choices that keep large control systems organized.
What you will learn
- How to separate I/O handling, control logic, and higher-level behavior
- How to design clean interfaces for programs, functions, and function blocks
- How to model sensors, actuators, states, commands, diagnostics, and faults
- How to build reusable function blocks with clear contracts and predictable behavior
- How to manage startup, reset, latching, enable cycles, and controlled recovery
- How to implement sequencers, timers, interlocks, watchdogs, and fault handling
- How to structure communication handshakes and consistent data exchange
- How to apply practical control patterns such as PID, mode switching, and scaling
- How to test, simulate, trace, and debug PLC logic with repeatable methods
The book also includes end-to-end examples that connect requirements to code, showing how individual patterns work together in a full PLC application. Rather than treating control logic as isolated snippets, it emphasizes contracts, state management, dependency control, and traceable design decisions.
Ideal for: PLC programmers, automation engineers, controls developers, and technical teams building industrial applications that need clarity, consistency, and long-term maintainability.
From first scan behavior to complete system integration, this is a hands-on reference for writing PLC code that performs reliably on the plant floor and remains understandable months or years later."Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
