Dewey Decimal Number: 621 EAN: 9780028026619 Edition: 2nd ISBN: 0028026616 Label: McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math Manufacturer: McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 464 Publication Date: January 06, 1998 Publisher: McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math Studio: McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math Editorial Review: Product Description: This outstanding text for the first course in programmable logic controllers (PLCs) focuses on how PLCs work and gives students practical information about installing, programming, and maintaining PLC systems. It's not intended to replace manufacturer's or user's manuals, but rather complements and expands on the information contained in these materials. All topics are covered in small segments. Students systematically carry out a wide range of generic programming exercises and assignments. Average Rating:

It is a little basic and some of the info is dated. It's a little weak in more advanced areas like indiredt addressing, use and construction of subroutines, but otherwise this is a good book to keep in a general library for technicians responsible for supporting PLC based systems. Rating: - Great for AB usersI have used this text in our PLC class for three years. I really like that it is specific to Allan Bradley products. The workbook that goes with this text has programming assignments to reinforce the concepts. As I train on AB SLC500s exclusively, it is almost ideal. I say almost becaue there are many references to obsolete instructions used with a PLC no longer manufactured. It is due for a new edition. But until then, it remains a very good text to teach from, or if you simply want to know more ...

No errors noted, very easy and comprehensive reading. An excellent reference manual. One of the best required text books I have used. |
