Logixpro Plc Lab Manual For Programmable Logic Controllers

The fifth edition of Programmable Logic Controllers continues to provide an up to date introduction to all aspects of PLC programming, installation, and maintaining procedures. Improvements have been made to every chapter. The content, applied programming examples, available instructor and student resources including lesson PowerPoint presentations (with simulated PLC program videos), Test Generator, LogixPro Lab Manual and Activities Manual leaves little to be desired by the student or instructor. With the fifth edition, students and instructors have access to McGraw's digital products Connect and SmartBook for the first time. Connect is the only integrated learning system that empowers students by continuously adapting to deliver precisely what they need, when they need it, how they need it, so that your class time is more engaging and effective.

Programmable Logic Controllers begins by covering the hardware and architecture of the Allen-Bradley Small Logic Controller (SLC 500) series of PLCs. I/O devices and motor controls are also covered as well as commonly used number systems, such as binary and BCD. PLC programming is introduced by reviewing and creating examples of relay ladder diagrams. In the following chapter, students are given guidelines and examples for creating PLC ladder diagrams based on relay ladder diagrams. Throughout the rest of the textbook, the most common PLC functions are presented, and practical examples are given based on the Allen-Bradley RSLogix programming software. The Laboratory Manual provides LogixPro activities that help students practice and hone their PLC programming skills. Included in the textbook is a CD-ROM containing LogixPro simulation software. The software allows students to practice and develop their programming skills when and where they want. LogixPro is not a replacement for RSLogix, nor is there support for file exchange or communication with actual Allen-Bradley products. LogixPro provides a complete software-based training solution, eliminating the need for expensive PLC equipment.

The Lab Manual for Programmable Logic Controllers: Hardware and Programming is designed to supplement your PLC training and works in conjunction with the Programmable Logic Controllers: Hardware and Programming textbook. The activities in this manual are written to give you hands-on experience practicing PLC programming and creating your own controller systems. Most activities in this Lab Manual specify the use of RSLogix 500 software or LogixPro 500 software. LogixPro 500 is simulation software designed specifically for training, and is available at The Learning Pit (www.thelearningpit.com). Simulation software allows you to practice and develop your programming skills when and where you want.

Emphasizes practical use of the Programmable Logic Controllers in process and industrial control systems.
