About the Book
‘Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and Programming Concepts—with Electrical, Pneumatic, and Hydraulic Applications’ is an introductory textbook on programmable electronic control systems. The book describes the hardware and software aspects of PLCs in detail and presents programming using bit logic, timing, and counting instructions to control some electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic systems.
The hardware and software aspects of PLCs are presented in a logical sequence and simple-to-understand language. Many instructions in SIEMENS, Allen Bradley, and OMRON PLCs are explained for a comparative study. Simple to medium-complexity exercises in electrical, pneumatics, and hydraulic fields are chosen to assist readers’ logical thinking and prepare them for more complex programming tasks.
