John W. Webb and Ronald A. Reis’s "Programmable Logic Controllers: Principles and Applications" serves as a foundational text in industrial automation, detailing the transition from hard-wired relay systems to flexible, microprocessor-based control. The text emphasizes the PLC scan cycle, Ladder Logic programming, and practical applications in industrial environments, equipping readers with necessary skills for troubleshooting and process control.

Comprehensive Problem Sets: It features a vast array of problems and a dedicated 28-chapter Lab Manual with nearly 1,000 questions (multiple choice, fill-in, and true/false) and 170 programming exercises. John W

Introduction

Part 2: Ladder Logic Fundamentals

• Contacts and Coils: Understanding Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) symbols.
• Timers and Counters: On-delay (TON), Off-delay (TOF), retentive timers, up/down counters.
• Arithmetic and Data Move: How PLCs handle math operations for process control.

Applications of PLCs

The book is divided into 12 chapters, covering the following topics: Contacts and Coils: Understanding Normally Open (NO) and

• Relay-Type Instructions: The basic building blocks (XIC - Examine if Closed, XIO - Examine if Open, OTE - Output Energize).
• Timer and Counter Instructions: Detailed coverage of TON (Timer On Delay), TOF (Timer Off Delay), RTO (Retentive Timer), and Counters (CTU - Count Up, CTD - Count Down).
• Program Control Instructions: Jump, MCR (Master Control Reset), and Subroutines.
• Data Handling: Moving data, math instructions (add, subtract, multiply, divide), and comparison instructions (greater than, less than, equal to).
