ISBN: 9781556178146

Learn how to create a functional machine control program forindustrial equipment that is sequential in nature. The programmingmethodology starts by breaking the machine into its basic elements.These small and manageable elements allow the programmer to focuson large concerns before dealing with specifics. The methodologythen shows how to program each element and how to assemble theelements together into a complete machine control program. The bookis intended to provide you with the confidence you need to reachdecisions and move forward with certainty that the program isperforming as intended without odd combinations of logic causingunintentional actions. The sequential nature of events will alsohelp operators and maintenance personnel troubleshoot and maintainthe equipment after it is put into operation. Ladder logicillustrations demonstrate each part of the text. Although theladder logic examples use the instruction set for the Allen-BradleySLC 500 PLC, the concepts and techniques can be used with any brandof PLC.
