The sixth edition of Programmable Logic Controllers provides an up-to-date introduction to all aspects of PLC programming, installation, and maintaining procedures. The text is written in an easy-to-read style designed for students with no prior PLC experience.
This edition is available in Connect with SmartBook 2.0. Instructor resources for this title Lecture PowerPoints, an Image Library, Instructor Solutions Manual, LogixPro Lab Manual Answer Key, and the RSLogix 5000 Lab Manual Answer Key.
Gives a good introduction to PLCs, including some chapters on electromechanical devices and basic digital electronic information like integrated circuits. While the content is well structured, the writing could be better organized for more fluid reading; in addition, more advanced applications for PLCs like integrating with different programming programs is not covered. This book will best serve as an introduction or as source material for someone who works with PLCs and wants a refresher on a specific item beyond what Allen Bradley provides. I would recommend that this book be paired with Allen Bradley/Rockwell official publications in order to fill out more details beyond what the book covers.
