Automated Manufacturing Systems: PLCs

An in depth examination of manufacturing control systems using structured design methods.

Book Description

Topics include ladder logic and other IEC 61131 standards, wiring, communication, analog IO, structured programming, and communications. Allen Bradley PLCs are used extensively through the book, but the formal design methods are applicable to most other PLC brands.
