I have used this text in our PLC class for three years. I really like that it is specific to Allan Bradley products. The workbook that goes with this text has programming assignments to reinforce the concepts. As I train on AB SLC500s exclusively, it is almost ideal. I say almost becaue there are many references to obsolete instructions used with a PLC no longer manufactured. It is due for a new edition. But until then, it remains a very good text to teach from, or if you simply want to know more about the subject.

Not a bad reference for most users. It is a little basic and some of the info is dated. It's a little weak in more advanced areas like indiredt addressing, use and construction of subroutines, but otherwise this is a good book to keep in a general library for technicians responsible for supporting PLC based systems.

The text used in conjunction with the accompanny study guide were required text for an automation and control class. No errors noted, very easy and comprehensive reading. An excellent reference manual. One of the best required text books I have used.

Required text for 3 of my courses.

Petruzella takes a great approach in Programmable Logic Controllers. The content is condensed for fast reading, but very clear. Highly recommended if new to PLCs.

A great book for the technician. A Colleague of mine said it was more of a comic book. This was from a Professor that does not like pictures. We as technicians love pictures. A comic book is just the thing for technicians.

Someone said to make it simple but not too simple. It fits that format.

I had to buy the previous edition of this book for an Advanced PLC class that I took while in college and liked the book so much that I bought the newer version when it came available. I like the newer version because it covers ControlLogix 5000 programming and platform in the last chapter and appendix's where the previous version did not. However, I did not like that this book was only available in softcover because I used my old one out in the field and did not have to worry about destroying it because the rugged hardcover would hold up. All in all, this is an excellent book as a reference manual or for beginners trying to learn programming instructions and how PLC's work.

Excellent book!! It starts with the basics and works its way on up. Each chapter starts with Chapter objectives, has lots of diagrams and photos, packed full of useful and practical information, is divided into easy to follow and understand sections, and ends with chapter review questions and problems. Has real world photos of actual equipment in use in industry.
