Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A programmable logic controller (PLC) works to control a computer system in an industrial organization. PLCs monitor the inputs to the system and then make decisions about related outputs. Typically used to monitor motors or machines, PLCs are often the basis of a predictive maintenance system, which can warn businesses of potential problems before they cause major breakdowns. In this guide, I'll cover: Switching mechanisms Relays, Relay Logic & Relay Ladder logic Timers, Counters, and Sequencers as applied in Relay controls PLC-basic introduction PLC hardware PLC operation PLC memory structure PLC programming Ladder gates Ladder logic Ladder diagram programming and its industrial control application Timers, counters, and sequencers as applied in PLC systems Lastly, I discuss briefly how PLCs are connected in a network The main objective of this book is to show you how the transition from relays to PLCs, was done, and how a good understanding of relay logic can help you learn PLC ladder logic with ease. I highly recommend this book to anyone planning to study PLC programming or generally PLC application in industrial control.
Download or read book PLC written by Douglas Fisher and published by Corwin Press. This book was released on 2019-05-16 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What makes a powerful and results-driven Professional Learning Community (PLC)? The answer is collaborative work that expands the emphasis on student learning and leverages individual teacher efficacy into collective teacher efficacy. PLC+: Better Decisions and Greater Impact by Design calls for strong and effective PLCs plus—and that plus is YOU. Until now, the PLC movement has been focused almost exclusively on students and what they were or were not learning. But keeping student learning at the forefront requires that we also recognize the vital role that you play in the equation of teaching and learning. This means that PLCs must take on two additional challenges: maximizing your individual expertise, while harnessing the power of the collaborative expertise you can develop with your peers. PLC+ is grounded in four cross-cutting themes—a focus on equity of access and opportunity, high expectations for all students, a commitment to building individual self-efficacy and the collective efficacy of the professional learning community and effective team activation and facilitation to move from discussion to action. The PLC+ framework supports educators in considering five essential questions as they work together to improve student learning: Where are we going? Where are we now? How do we move learning forward? What did we learn today? Who benefited and who did not benefit? The PLC+ framework leads educators to question practices as well as outcomes. It broadens the focus on student learning to encompass educational equity and teaching efficacy, and, in doing so, it leads educators to plan and implement learning communities that maximize individual expertise while harnessing the power of collaborative efficacy.
Download or read book Introduction to Programmable Logic Controllers written by Glen A. Mazur and published by Amer Technical Pub. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are increasing in use, and technicians in all fields must be familiar with the fundamentals of installing, programming, and troubleshooting digital and analog PLCs. Introduction to Programmable Logic Controllers is a text/workbook that provides a solid foundation in PLC theory, installation, programming, operation, and troubleshooting. Many large, detailed drawings of commercial and industrial PLC systems are used to support the information in the textbook. Although hands-on training on industrial equipment is the best training method, teaching the use of digital and analog PLCs is often a challenge because of the high costs of equipment. This training package provides several alternatives to these costs.

With a focus on enabling readers without an electrical education to learn Ladder programming, the book is suitable for learners without prior knowledge of Ladder. The book contains numerous illustrations and program examples, based on real-world, practical problems in the field of automation. CONTENTS - Background, benefits and challenges of Ladder programming - PLC hardware, sensors, and basic Ladder programming - Practical guides and tips to achieve good program structures - Theory and examples of flowcharts, block diagrams and sequence diagrams - Design guide to develop functions and function blocks - Examples of organizing code in program modules and functions - Sequencing using SELF-HOLD, SET/RESET and MOVE/ COMPARE - Complex code examples for a pump station, tank control and conveyor belt - Design, development, testing and simulation of PLC programs The book describes Ladder programming as described in the standard IEC 61131-3. PLC vendors understand this standard in different ways, and not all vendors follows the standard exactly. This will be clear through material from the vendor. This means that some of the program examples in this book may not work as intended in the PLC type you are using. In addition, there is a difference in how the individual PLC type shows graphic symbols and instructions used in Ladder programming. Note: This is a book for beginners and therefore advanced techniques such as ARRAY, LOOPS, STRUCT, ENUM, STRING, PID and FIFO are not included.
