Programmable Controllers Using Allen-Bradley SLC500 and Control-Logix

Written around Allen-Bradley's popular programmable controllers, this self-contained, state-of-the-art reference teaches people in the industry how to write sophisticated programs-on the PLC they are most likely to encounter on the job. It contains a wealth of structured programming examples, and the up-to-date ControlLogix processor. Three techniques for writing PLC programs are covered: zone control; subroutines; and sequential function charts. Systematic steps lead readers away from using a trial an error method of programming in order to increase efficiency by reducing program writing time, ensuring good documentation, and aiding in troubleshooting. For manufacturing engineers, control engineers, production engineers, and plant engineers.
