✦ Synopsis

An in depth examination of manufacturing control systems using structured design methods. Topics include ladder logic and other IEC 61131 standards, wiring, communication, analog IO, structured programming, and communications. Allen Bradley PLCs are used extensively through the book, but the formal design methods are applicable to most other PLC brands. A full version of the book and other materials are available on-line at http://engineeronadisk.com
