What This Book Offers
Introduction to Ladder Logic Programming
We cover what every beginner should know when writing their first program. We also cover the basics of programming with ladder logic and how ladder logic correlates to the PLC inputs and outputs. These principles are then put to work inside RSLogix 5000, explaining the basic commands required to control a machine.
Introduction to RSLogix 5000 / Studio 5000
We detail the workings of the Rockwell software, what each window looks like, the elements of each drop-down menu, and how to navigate through the program.
Working with Instructions
We cover every available instruction necessary for beginners, what each instruction does, and a short example for each. You will also learn about communication settings and how to add additional devices to your control system.
Working with Tags, Routines, and Faults
We show you how to create and use the various types of tags available and all the different data types associated with tags. This guide also covers the finer details of routines, UDTs, and AOIs. As well as guiding how to account for typical problems and recover from faults. All of which are essential to most programs.
A Real-World Practical Approach
Throughout the guide, we reference practical scenarios where the various aspects we discuss are applied in the real world. We included numerous examples and two full practical examples, which combine everything you will have learned in the preceding chapters.
