Programmable Logic Controllers

Programmable Logic Controllers: Hardware and Programming provides an introduction to PLCs and their applications in process and industrial control systems. Using a practical applied approach to master comprehension, students will begin with basic hardware and programming concepts and then progress to system-level applications. This text is based on RSLogix 500 programming software and Allen-Bradley SLC 500 controller. To prepare technicians to meet the needs of industry, the author covers PLC applications, maintenance, testing, and troubleshooting. Illustrations and examples help to explain system functions and complex concepts presented in the text. Comprehensive review questions and lab activities at the end of each chapter allow students to practice and apply what they have learned.
