PLC Book

PLC Book

(OP)
I'm looking for a good book on plc's.
I would like the book to have the following topics:

>LOGIC SYSTEM TYPES AND METHODS OF IMPLEMENTATION
(ex. describe the function of each of the parts of an interlock control system....)
>PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER ARCHITECTURE
>LADDER DIAGRAM AND BOOLEAN NOTATION
(good if it may possibly include relay ladder diagram for a logic system using JEDEC symbology)
>BINARY LOGIC SYSTEMS
>PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER FUNCTIONS
>LOGIC SYSTEM DESIGN
>PLC INSTALLATION
>DISTRIBUTED CONTROL SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE AND INSTALLATION
>BLOCK PROGRAMMING
>FIELDBUS ARCHITECTURE AND CONTROL

Any suggestions??

RE: PLC Book

There is a Foundation Fieldbus web site. You may want to take a look there. I think they have a paper on how to set up a FF network/system. Can't remember if it's free though.

Fisher also has documents on their Delta V, including their IEC 61131 languages. I think most are free to download.

The Delta V is sort of a PLC/DCS both. Some say neither. Depends who's talking.

RE: PLC Book

You might have mentioned the entire series from that guy.

It's great although not the same caliber as the PLC section,
the other sections are good.  I found that link last year
some time and think it's great.  But, since you already
mentioned it.....

The whole series is:
It's either "Engineer in a Book" or "Engineer on a CD"

Opps. "Engineer on a Disk"

Here it is:

And fills in other areas of interest.

RE: PLC Book

Dont try to print that at work. I was chewed royally for printing V4_2. Tied the printer up for 45 minutes! (and a ream of paper!)

In a hundred years, it isn't going to matter anyway.

RE: PLC Book

You can try batching it, or talk to your IT, they can put it on a lower priority so other jobs can get in during your print.

RE: PLC Book

Hiya ScottI2R-

Well, what I did was gather the whole collection and then
I burned a CD. Around here, a CD costs about $0.14.  I tuck
the CD into my little collection of documentation and I
can easily carry it around.  If I need a page or two, then
there's no problem printing them out.  

There's some good stuff on the internet.  Interestingly
enough, a lot of it comes from Jr. College professors who
don't want their students "ripped" by the textbook group.
There is a good computer networking book out there and
one or two on stepper motors.  Also there are some (although
dated) books on linux administration from the linux
documentation project.

A little collection of CDs is pretty small.

 Cheers,

  Rich S.

RE: PLC Book

Hi richs

 Together we can!   "

  Cheers,

RE: PLC Book

If you're willing to spend a few bucks, there is also a course on CD available at http://www.plctechnician.com that includes some simulation software (if you can't get your hands on a PLC).

Though I haven't taken the course myself, I've heard good reviews from colleagues who have.

cheers

Thanks to all
