Hands-On PLC Programming with RSLogix 500 and LogixPro (Electronics)

Create, program, and administer high-performance PLC-based control systems This practical resource offers start-to-finish coverage of programmable logic controller (PLC) systems design, programming, and maintenance. The book uses configuration examples from Rockwell Automation's Allen-Bradley Small Logic Controller (SLC 500) family of PLCs, along with LogixPro SLC 500 PLC Simulator software and Allen-Bradley's RSLogix 500 programming software, to illustrate programming concepts and the implementation of automation projects. Designed to train students for a career in the field of PLC control and automation, the book also serves as an ideal on-the-job reference. Written by a pair of process automation experts, Hands-On PLC Programming with RSLogix(TM) 500 and LogixPro(R) lays out PLC programming methods with a strong focus on real-world industrial process automation applications. You will learn about timers and counters programming, human-machine interface design, process control design and troubleshooting, instrumentation, analog programming, and advanced control. A start-to-finish capstone design project at the end of the book illustrates real-world applications for the concepts discussed. * Each chapter contains a set of homework problems and lab assignments * Instructor materials include a laboratory assignment solution manual * Written by a pair of experienced engineering and computing educators
