PLC Programming Using RS Logix 500: Basic Concepts
The first book of this series; PLC Programming Using RSLogix 500: Basic Concepts, provides a guided, step-by-step approach to learning how to program a PLC control program. PLC ladder programs are one of the principle types of control programming used in today’s manufacturing and industrial environments. This first book in the series teaches the basics of PLC programming for the SLC-500 and MicroLogix family of processors. These processors are still widely used in industry, and I believe they provide a perfect vehicle for learning PLC programming.
