by Jon Stenerson
Category: Computers

This practical, understandable approach to PLC's, sensors, and communications addresses Rockwell in a comprehensive and clearly written fashion. This book is meant to make readers comfortable with programming and use. Each topic is clearly explained through the use of common, easy to understand examples. The programmable logic controller (PLC) is an amazing piece of technology, and this book provides comprehensive coverage of all of the topics associated with this subject. Beginning with a basic foundation for the use of PLC's, the book proceeds to cover number systems; contacts, coils, and programming fundamentals; Rockwell addressing; timers and counters and their use in addressing; I/O modules, wiring, and digital and analog modules; math instructions; advanced programming; industrial sensors; communications, ControlLogix, and DeviceNet; safety and lockout/tagout; and IEC 611313 programming. For personnel who program and integrate industrial controllers and devices.
