PLC Basic Tutorials: Basic Steps In PLC Programming For Beginners: Programmable Logic Controller Basics

by Frida Turton

A programmable logic controller (PLC) works to control a computer system in an industrial organization. PLCs monitor the inputs to the system and then make decisions about related outputs. Typically used to monitor motors or machines, PLCs are often the basis of a predictive maintenance system, which can warn businesses of potential problems before they cause major breakdowns.
In this guide, I'll
-Switching mechanisms
-Relays, Relay Logic & Relay Ladder logic
-Timers, Counters, and Sequencers as applied in Relay controls
-PLC-basic introduction
-PLC hardware
-PLC operation
-PLC memory structure
-PLC programming
-Ladder gates
-Ladder logic
-Ladder diagram programming and its industrial control application
-Timers, counters, and sequencers as applied in PLC systems
-Lastly, I discuss briefly how PLCs are connected in a network
The main objective of this book is to show you how the transition from relays to PLCs, was done, and how a good understanding of relay logic can help you learn PLC ladder logic with ease. I highly recommend this book to anyone planning to study PLC programming or generally PLC application in industrial control.
