Programmable Logic Controllers, Third Edition

I agree with the other reviewers. This book starts with the basics and is very clear, easily understandable. I've just started teaching Mechatronics at a community college and reviewed several textbooks. One that the previous Program Director selected was way too complex. They were talking about baud rates in the 1st Introductory chapter. That should be like Chap 8 or 9. This book does not do that. Mr. Petruzella starts off simply, using every day words. I've selected the newer 5th Edition to teach my students, both high schoolers and 1st year college students. I just wished he had written a book for Introduction to Mechatronics. His writing style is very good, very understandable.

i got this for an intro to PLC classe but its kind of overly wordy. it deals with a lot of RSLogix and the addressing scheme for those is a little esoteric. you wind up dealing with a lot of things that look like K6:1/8 and such. i don't think this is a good intro book, it was cheap though (used) so no loss. one thing i did like was it had really good problem sets at the ends of chapters. so that's why 4 stars.

This is very good book to learn PLC.Very well organized.Contains a lot of examples of logic diagrams.However, to fully understand it, you need to also understand the hardware. (relay, contactor, starter, ...)Without understanding it, those logic diagrams will be not meaningful to you.

A great book for the technician. A Colleague of mine said it was more of a comic book. This was from a Professor that does not like pictures. We as technicians love pictures. A comic book is just the thing for technicians.Someone said to make it simple but not too simple. It fits that format.

I am so supprised in the condition of my used book. It is in exelent, like new condition. A very good value in programming logic text book. Will buy more as school progresses. Thank you.

With this book, anyone can easily understand and program PLCs. There is a lot of good information, examples, and multiple approaches to viewing the logic.

Bought as gift

I bought this book for a college course I'm taking. This book is easy to read and understand as well as easy to navigate.

Nice product and fast shipping! Thanks!

Good

Book cover was not good..

The book is exactly what i was looking for. I will use it in my courses. Do you have equivalent french books
