Programmable Logic Controllers: A Systems Approach covers the programming, operation, and installation of the Allen Bradley SLC 500 and ControlLogix PLCs in industrial systems. The text’s teaching and learning package includes interactive video presentations and an instructor’s website with the suggestion on teaching a PLCs course.
Teaching and Learning Experience:
Developed from a Systems Perspective: Covers PLC address- and tag-based programming and their system applications, PLC-control panel implementation and installation, and troubleshooting of PLC controlled industrial systems..
Describes Ladder Logic Programming: Describes ladder logic programming for the address-based PLC and the tag-based PLC and contains system-tested example ladder diagrams plus common ladder configurations used in program development
Effective Learning Tool with Numerous Examples: Comprehensive and clearly written example problems with program solutions and many industrial-type questions and problems at the end of each chapter.
