This text provides the essential information about the emergence of the PLC, ladder logic, programming, installation and troubleshooting. It covers: sensors and their writing, I/O modules and wiring and fundamentals of plan communications. References to the most successful PLCs are included: Allen Bradley, Gould Modicon, Omron, Square D and Siemens Industrial Automation/Texas Instruments. Basic and advanced instructions are included for each PLC.
I teach electricians about PLCs and use this book as the class textbook. It has very good coverage of the subject. There are other books that are less costly and cover the same basic material (but not in the same depth that this book does).
Excellent PLC Book

Stenerson's book is an exellent introduction to the subject of Programmable Logic Controllers. He uses several of the major brands in his discussion of automation. The book is not designed to make one fluent with one particular PLC, but rather to give one basic knowledge which is applicable to all brands of PLCs.I teach PLCs at a technical college and have been using Stenerson's book for the last couple years - what a great text. Although its somewhat expensive, I feel that it is a great value.
