Synopsis
An indispensable resource for those just starting off in the industrial electronics field, this practical, clearly written guide combines comprehensive, accessible coverage on programmable logic controllers with a wealth of industry examples - offering a broad-based foundation that will serve them well on the job. Reflecting the latest programming manuals for eight major PLC manufacturers, it examines every aspect of controller usage in an easy-to-understand, jargon-free narrative, beginning with a basic layout, segueing right into programming techniques, then progressing through fundamental, intermediate, and advanced functions. Discusses applications for each PLC function, and integrates a vast array of examples and problems to help readers achieve both an understanding of PLCs and the experience needed to use them. Now includes expanded coverage of jump functions, and consider such timely topics as stacking functions; newer methods of PID programming; human-machine-interfacing (HMI); and the most recent developments in control languages for PLC's. Ideal for industrial electronics and electronics maintenance training programs.
