Programmable Logic Controllers
emphasizes practical use of the PLC in process and industrial
control systems.
The textbook begins with the
basics of what a PLC is and does, then guides students through
the fundamentals of programming the device.
Applications, testing
procedures, and operational aspects of PLC equipment and
systems are discussed.
This text covers the most
common programmable logic controller functions, providing
practical examples based on the widely used Allen-Bradley
Small Logic Controller (SLC 500) series of PLCs.
Wiring and programming of a PLC
are covered thoroughly, using numerous examples.
A supplemental Laboratory
Manual provides a wealth of hands-on activities that will help
students practice and hone their PLC programming skills.
Included in the textbook is a CD-ROM containing LogixPro
simulation software.
LogixPro is the ideal tool to
facilitate student learning of the fundamentals of RSLogix
ladder logic programming.
The software allows students to
practice and develop their programming skills when and where
they want.
LogixPro is not a replacement
for RSLogix, nor is there support for file exchange or
communication with actual Allen-Bradley products.
The program, instead, provides
a complete software-based training solution, eliminating the
need for expensive PLC equipment. |
