Features: This book can be used as a teaching material for "Electrical Control and Programmable Controllers" and similar courses in universities, colleges, radio and television universities, and part-time universities, covering automation, industrial automation, electrical technology, mechatronics, and related fields. It can also serve as a reference and self-study book for automation engineers engaged in design and research. The book is written based on the current practice of many universities combining the original two courses, "Factory Electrical Control Equipment (Technology)" and "Programmable Controllers," into one course called "Electrical Control and Programmable Controllers." It fully considers the practical applications and development of electrical control technology. From the perspective of practical engineering applications and teaching convenience, it primarily introduces electrical control technology and system design, as well as the principles and applications of programmable controllers, systematically elaborating on general methods for analyzing and designing electrical control. The book is divided into two parts and 11 chapters, including common electromagnetic low-voltage electrical appliances, common other low-voltage principles, the features and technical specifications of programmable controllers, the basic instruction system of programmable controllers, step control instructions and sequential function charts, function instructions, special expansion modules of programmable controllers, programmable controller networks and communication, and application design methods for programmable controllers. Each chapter ends with a set of review and reflection questions. In the section on programmable controllers, the book takes the FX2N as an example to systematically discuss the structural principles, hardware structure, internal soft components, and instruction system of PLCs. Based on this, it provides detailed solutions for the increasing demand for analog control, positioning control, network communication, and data transmission in the widespread automation applications of programmable controllers.
