Principles of Advanced PLCs provides a clearly written, comprehensive treatment of topics in modern, tag-based PLCs, offering valuable information on state-of-the-art equipment and control techniques used in industry. Broad in scope, its unparalleled coverage spans all important areas of advanced PLCs and includes a wide range of practical and theoretical examples. Chapters feature topics such as practical applications and troubleshooting techniques, which provide readers with "real world" PLC programming examples. This well-illustrated volume consists of numerous worked-out examples and chapter-ending questions, and is intended to cover the newest and most popular advanced PLCs.
The sequence of chapters represents a logical progression through the fundamentals and advanced concepts of tag-based PLCs. The first four chapters cover the main components of advanced PLCs, and are followed by a comprehensive treatment of troubleshooting and safety precautions. Chapters covering ladder logic programming, including timers, counters, and sequencers are presented next. This is followed by a thorough discussion of math functions and process control. In addition to ladder logic programming, this book also covers Distributed Control Systems (DCS), and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition Systems (SCADA). Advanced programming languages such as Sequential Function Chart (SFC), Function Block (FB), and Structured Text (ST) are presented. The last chapter provides a detailed overview of robots and their application in industry.
