PLC Programming Training Book: Practical Aspects Of Machine Logic

Though I have had several PLC classes in the past, this set of books is a handy medium-level refresher. While I can get a lot of detail from the AB online manuals, I cannot stand to read them in my spare time on a plane, bus, etc on a device screen. These books are perfect in size for a sideline gaining of knowledge. When I need more depth I can look at the AB manuals. There are also helpful examples in the books. This first book of the five-book series, PLC Programming Using RSLogix 500, focuses on many practical aspects of machine logic programming. Based on Allen Bradley’s SLC 500 family of PLCs, the author takes you through the basic concepts and instructions used in ladder logic programming. In Book 1 of this series, some of the topics will include:

•The basic building blocks of the SLC 500 instruction set.

•Discussion on Timers and Counters with example programming.

•Location-defined and User-defined addressing and syntax.

•How to configure a new PLC project.

•How to establish a communication link between laptop & SLC 500 processor.

• ...Much more
