This fourth edition of Programmable Logic Controllers continues to provide an up-to-date introduction to all aspects of PLC programming, installation, and maintaining procedures. No previous knowledge of PLC systems or programming is assumed. As one reviewer of this edition put it I honestly believe that someone with little or no background to PLC systems could take this book and teach themselves PLCs.

New Features

• Representation of I/O Field Devices To help with recognition, in addition to symbols, drawing and photos of real world field input and output devices have been include.
• How Programs Operate When the operation of a program is called for, a bulleted list is used to summarize its execution. The list is used in place of lengthy paragraphs and is especially helpful when explaining the different steps in the execution of a program.
• Real World Applications Numerous example problems have been added to help students understand the purpose of each instruction.
• Industrial Networks Additional coverage of communications and control networks such as Ethernet, ControlNet and DeviceNet.
• Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) Practical introduction to how HMIs fit into an overall PLC system.
• Extensive Coverage of the CLX Controller The new ControlLogix chapter contains all you need to get started programming using tags and structures. Use as a standalone unit of study or in conjunction with the other chapters.
• Function Block Programming Overview of the function block programming language and how it can be used to program a ControlLogix controller.
• Outstanding Instructor Supplement PackageExpanded on and updated from the previous edition and include:
• ExamView and EZ test question test banks for each chapter.
• PowerPoint lessons with animations that help to visualize the actual process.
• Computer Lab Manual with LogixPro simulation CD included.
• Activity Manual with objective tests and generic programming assignments and, on-line Instructor's Resource Center
• Changes to Power Points include:
• All new slides
• Graphics are all high res and taken from the text
• Instructor talking points contain just enough text to engage students and instructor in a meaningful discussion of each slide
• New program simulation movie files that author has using the LogixPro program that simulate the operation of the PLC program under discussion.
