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.
