4.0 out of 5 stars Good material..., August 28, 2001

This review is from: Programmable Controllers Using the Allen Bradley SLC-500 Family (Hardcover)

I recommend this book to all my students who are getting started in working with the AB SLC 500. This book will give you a great start if you are trying to learn about AB PLCs. I also recommend ... for ActiveX driver software to communicate with AB PLCs. The reason I did not rate it at five stars is because the book is a little pricey and it omits some of the more advanced ladder instructions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Programmable Controllers Using the Allen-Bradley SlC-500 Family (2nd Edition) (Paperback), June 9, 2009

By	Marco Sillus (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

IMHO one of the best books on the market if you want to learn and understand Allen-Bradley PLC controllers.
A lot of other books are similar to the reference books that you can download for Allen-Bradley site for free.
This one actually teaches you programming and also gives you deeper insight in wiring and cabinet layout, and many other related features.
Recommended to co-workers (engineers). They find it very useful too.
Would definitely recomment - worth the hefty price sticker.

Here, we can find a lot examples, of basic Programmable Logical. But, no enough examples using advanced Programming instructions such as, PID, Shift Resister, Sequencer. Excellent book for the beginners.
