Updated to reflect recent industry developments,
this edition features practical information on Rockwell Automation's
SLC 500 family of PLCs and includes a no-nonsense introduction to
RSLogix software and the new ControlLogix PLC. To assist readers in
understanding key concepts, the art program has been modernized to
include improved illustrations, current manufacturer-specific photos,
and actual RSLogix software screens to visibly illustrate essential
principles of PLC operation. New material has been added on ControlNet
and DeviceNet, and a new chapter on program flow instructions includes
updated references to the SLC 500, MicroLogix, and the PLC 5. 544 pp.
Features:
- coverage examines how Rockwell Automation's SLC 500 and MicroLogix PLCs
work and program, leading to a better understanding of fundamental processes
- a clear-cut orientation to general principles underlying all PLC
operations enhances readers' ability to assimilate more advanced concepts
and instruction sets in later chapters
- the hands-on Lab Manual, now subtitled "Programming the SLC 500 PLC
using RSLogix 500 Software," has been updated to include more
information on RSLinx drivers for the MicroLogix as well as a new Ethernet
driver configuration lab for the SLC modular processor, the 5/05
- new exercises in the Lab Manual complement the new program flow
instructions and take readers through jump to subroutine, jump to label, MCR,
and the immediate input instruction
