## Description

Programmable Logic Controllers [Petruzella, Frank] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Programmable Logic Controllers

Review: An outstanding book - Clearly written, accurate and well illustrated, this high quality textbook is an excellent resource to teach yourself the fundamentals of PLCs. Mr. Petruzella has even added photographs and descriptions of the inner workings of commonly used I/O devices, which is especially helpful for novices. Based on Allen Bradley's SLC500 series and their RS LOGIX programming software, it covers enough ground to enable technicians to understand how they work, how to troubleshoot I/O problems, understand, modify and even originate programs found in typical industrial applications. Having moved from the power generation field--where large scale distributed control systems do the vast majority of control and PLCs handle packaged auxiliaries--to the manufacturing industry, I encountered I/O devices and motion control applications I wasn't familiar with. Mr. P's book filled in the gaps. It would have been nice if answers to at least the odd numbered review questions had been included to help quickly test my understanding, but when in doubt, I go back to the text where the answers can always be found. I also purchased the LogixPro PLC simulator (Mr. P also wrote a lab exercise manual that comes with the simulator or you can buy the simulator by itself). It gives you the ability to write, test and debug programs using the RS LOGIX instruction set and programming interface--in fact it's very close to the real deal. I really could have used that when I first started programming PLCs because learning to program using a real PLC hooked up to lights and switches is too limiting (and prohibitively expensive for many of us). And I'd rather not test and debug my programs using live machinery if I can avoid it.
Review: Great Textbook or Reference Manual. - I had to buy the previous edition of this book for an Advanced PLC class that I took while in college and liked the book so much that I bought the newer version when it came available. I like the newer version because it covers ControlLogix 5000 programming and platform in the last chapter and appendix's where the previous version did not. However, I did not like that this book was only available in softcover because I used my old one out in the field and did not have to worry about destroying it because the rugged hardcover would hold up. All in all, this is an excellent book as a reference manual or for beginners trying to learn programming instructions and how PLC's work.

*by B***N on December 6, 2014*

I bought this book for an introductory PLC class I was taking. I used it later in my Advanced PLC class. It's Allen Bradley based and covers just about everything with the SLC 500 and RS Logix 5000. It's filled with real world examples to help explain the various program commands. I'm not sure I could wire and program an AB PLC just with this book, as it doesn't cover every minute detail of programming, but along with the outstanding Instructor I had, this became an invaluable reference.
