PLC Programming Using RSLogix 500 & Industrial Applications: Learn ladder logic step by step with real-world applications

by Charles H Johnson Jr

Overview

In this book I provide the foundation you will need to begin writing your first ladder logic program using RSLogix 500. I also provide advanced and practical hands-on training you need to program Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) with confidence.

It is simply not enough to have a PLC user guide/manual, or refer to the help content in order become a skilled PLC programmer. This book is a great resource for learning PLC programming skills. It will give you a head start if this is your first time programming a PLC. It will also teach you advanced techniques that you can use to design, build and program anything on the RSLogix 500 platform.

After reading the book, you will have a good understanding and broad knowledge of PLCs and ladder logic programming. You will also be able to apply it to numerous real-world situations and industrial applications, such as:

• Paper Mill
• Coal Kiln
• Shaft Kiln
• Glass Industry
• Cement Industry
• Automated Drill Press Control
• SCADA
• Robot Cell with Trapped-key Access
• and so much more.

Using real-world situations and industrial applications is the best way to learn PLC programming. This book contains real-world examples and industrial applications that will help you to quickly learn many functions and features of RSLogix 500.

The methods I present in this book are the ones that are most commonly used in industrial automation. They may be all you ever need. This book is a valuable resource for anyone who is just starting out in PLC programming, as well as any other skilled programmer of PLCs, regardless of their level.

One of the most frequent questions I get from beginners is, "Where can I download RSLogix 500 for free?" Later in this book, I provide links to free versions of RSLogix 500 and RSLogix Emulate 500. So, to learn, run and test your ladder logic programs, you don't need a PLC.

You will not only learn how to obtain these Rockwell Automation software without any hassle. I also demonstrate with clear screenshots how to configure, navigate, and use them to create ladder logic programs.
