Technician's Guide To
Programmable Controllers
Fifth Edition
Richard Cox
Hailed as the most comprehensive introduction
to PLCs on the market today, this newly updated 5th Edition covers
theory, hardware, instructions, programming, installation, startup,
and troubleshooting in a way that is easy to understand and apply.
New material has been added to explain
communication networks, basic control signals, linear scaling of
analog process signals, and Proportional Integral Derivative (PID)
instructions used by many PLC applications.
Supplementary programming examples utilizing
the PLC instructions in the book impart a better understanding of
the various instructions and how they can be combined to create
simple yet effective control logic solutions for today's world.
Features:
- New and expanded material will help readers
understand the various communication schemes that are used to
pass, or exchange information, between the PLC and the various
control components and control systems
- The new chapter entitled "PLC Programming
Examples" encourages application of concepts by giving readers
specific examples of PLC programming code and logic utilizing many
of the instructions covered in previous chapters
- Provides detailed programming information
and examples on both the Allen-Bradley SLC-500 and the MicroLogix
family of PLCs
- Numerous and varied troubleshooting
techniques round out the all-inclusive introduction to PLC
installation, programming, and maintenance
