About this title

Synopsis:

Programmable Controllers has been used as both a textbook for
Programmable Logic Controller courses and for self-study by thousands of
professionals. This applications-based book provides a clear and concise
presentation of the fundamental principles of programmable controllers for
process and machine control. Hughes discusses all phases of programmable
controller applications from design and programming to installation,
maintenance, and start-up. He has increased the coverage of the five
standard PLC programming languages: Ladder Diagram, Function Block Diagram,
Sequential Function Chart, Statement List and Structured Text in this third
edition and added numerous programming applications and examples to clearly
explain each a programming language.

The text provides a complete and comprehensive presentation on the design,
programming, maintenance, and troubleshooting of several important control
applications. The material also includes chapters on binary logic
fundamentals, electrical and electronic principles, input and output
systems, memory and addressing, programming languages, and data
communication. The final chapter covers design, installation, and
maintenance of programmable controller in detail.
