Programmable Logic Controllers: Hardware and Programming provides a comprehensive, easy-to-understand, and logically organized introduction to PLCs and their applications in process and industrial control systems. It follows the knowledge and applications that technicians will use on the job by covering PLC applications, maintenance, testing, and troubleshooting. 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 improved instructional design and additional examples utilizing the PLCLogix 5000 simulator to further demonstrate the ladder logic diagram programs for RSLogix 5000 software.
