Programmable Controllers Theory and Implementation

Programmable Controllers Theory and Implementation provides a comprehensive theoretical and practical look at all aspects of PLCs and their associated devices and systems. The textbook features chapters on advanced PLC topics such as I/O bus networks, fuzzy logic, the IEC 1131-3 programming standard, process control, and PID algorithms. Previously covered topics have been updated, and expanded graphics and hands-on examples are included.
This textbook covers everything from PLC basics to advanced applications. Checklists, charts, and tables make it an excellent reference tool as well as an in-depth study aid.
