Product Description:
A programmable logic controllers (PLC) is a real-time system optimized for use in severe conditions such as high/low temperatures or an environment with excessive electrical noise. This control technology is designed to have multiple interfaces (I/Os) to connect and control multiple mechatronic devices such as sensors and actuators.
Programmable Logic Controllers, Fifth Edition, continues to be a straight forward, easy-to-read book that presents the principles of PLCs while not tying itself to one vendor or another. Extensive examples and chapter ending problems utilize several popular PLCs currently on the market highlighting understanding of fundamentals that can be used no matter the specific technology. Ladder programming is highlighted throughout with detailed coverage of design characteristics, development of functional blocks, instruction lists, and structured text. Methods for fault diagnosis, testing and debugging are also discussed. This edition has been enhanced with new material on I/Os, logic, and protocols and networking.
For the UK audience only: This book is fully aligned with BTEC Higher National requirements.

*New material on combinational logic, sequential logic, I/Os, and protocols and networking
*More worked examples throughout with more chapter-ending problems
*As always, the book is vendor agnostic allowing for general concepts and fundamentals to be taught and applied to several controllers


Summary: Progammable Logic Controller
Rating: 4
This is a good overall textbook for the beginner in Progammable Controllers. I particularly liked the fact that all the major manufacturers are included.

Summary: Covers all the basics
Rating: 5
This book covers all the basics you will need to know if you have no previous PLC experience.
It is a bit "basic" for me because I have dealt with PLCs in the past. Still, it offers some good explanations of what the different programming terms mean.
I would recommend it to someone who knows nothing about PLCs but it may be too "simple" for the journeyman PLC programmer.

Summary: Useful Information
Rating: 3
This book was full of usefull information, and it was laid out well. I was just disapointed by the lack of coverage of Allen Bradley controllers, which are the most widely used controllers in my area.

Summary: Some very good, some bad
Rating: 2
I bought this book to help bring me up to speed on PLCs. I have several years working in electronics and other engineering disciplines, but almost no system control experience.
I did learn a few things from this book and it was helpful. However, there are some serious mistakes in the book. There are several details that are simply wrong, which makes this book a poor choice for people with little to no prior knowledge in the field.

Summary: A succinct but comprehensive introduction to PLCs
Rating: 5
Bolton does a great job with an intro to PLCs. The book is great for a comprehensive introduction to PLCs. I needed inexpensive, yet solid course material, for an adult ed course. This book has been perfect for providing easy to digest material for folks who need familiarity with PLCs.
