Programmable Controllers, Second Edition

An invaluable guide to the application and use of programmable controllers. If you use PLCs or Programmable Electronic Systems then this book will explain the theoretical knowledge needed for modern process control applications, and give you practical help with the economic, maintenance and safety aspects.

Concerned with the application and use of programmable controllers, it covers the range from simple relay replacement sequencing controllers costing a few hundred pounds to large distributed systems with analog PID control and extensive graphic facilities. Also covered are single board computer systems used for control purposes, and programmable instruments.


· Excellent general introduction to application and use of programmable controllers.
· Includes latest information on IEC1131, safety legislation, communications and EMC.
· Covers theory and the practical aspects.
