Programmable Logic Controllers: Hardware and Programming provides a comprehensive introduction to PLCs and their applications in process and industrial control systems. The textbook uses a practical applied approach to master comprehension by beginning with concepts such as basic hardware and programming before progressing to system-level applications. Based on RSLogix 500 programming software and Allen-Bradley SLC 500 PLCs, this text covers PLC applications, maintenance, testing, and troubleshooting in an easy-to-understand, step-by-step manner. This new edition features updated content and examples to better reflect Allen-Bradley’s software and revisions to the PLC diagrams and logic instruction.
Each chapter provides several in-text and post-chapter PLC examples and activities to master comprehension and application.
Clear illustrations and examples in the text help explain system functions and complex concepts.
Review questions and lab activities allow students to practice what they have learned, and the Lab Manual provides additional hands-on learning opportunities.
