Programmable Logic Controllers, 3rd Edition
Programmable Logic Controllers: Hardware and Programming is an introductory text that starts with basic concepts and progresses to system level applications. The hardware and architecture of PLCs, I/O devices, and motor controls are covered as well as commonly used number systems, such as binary and BCD. Programming is introduced with relay ladder diagrams. The PLC's practical use in industry is emphasized, and a chapter on PLC networks in manufacturing is included. Note: This online textbook does NOT include the LogixPro simulation software.
