A Special Note To
Our Customers
Heres a valuable PLC reference that you can use right now. This particular
reference is taken from our award-winning textbookProgrammable
Controllers: Theory and Implementation, 2nd Edition.
In it, youll get an overview of how relay logic can be converted into
PLC logic. Theres also lots of examples, tables, and ladder diagrams to
help explain the topics.
Best yet, weve included the corresponding chapter from the companion
workbook. Here you can look over the key points as well as see how
much you learned by answering the review questions. And, yes, the
answers are also included.
This PLC reference is just a sample of what the textbook and workbook
have to offer. If you like it, weve included the product literature page
with the order number.

PLC Reference Book
You covered a huge amount of detail very well. It was
very easy to understand.
Jeff Camp, United Control Corp.
The biggest book on PLCs. Written by industry experts, this book covers
important, up-to-date, real-world programmable controller topics and
applications. This new edition is completely revised and updated to give you the
latest developments and insights from the field. At 5 pounds and 1,035 pages, it
puts all the PLC information you need at your fingertips. And, since this is a
generic PLC reference, it will help you with all of the different makes and models
of PLCs in your facility.
But, this book is about more than just PLCsit also thoroughly explains process
control, instrumentation, and plant networks. Whether youre already an expert on
PLCs or just starting out, our problem-solving approach is guaranteed to help you succeed.
