Features: The SLC500 series programmable controllers from Rockwell/A-B combine the functionality and flexibility of large controllers with the compact size and simplicity of small controllers, making them widely used in various industries in China. This book, based on the authors' extensive engineering practice and teaching experience, outlines the development process, basic structure, and working principles of PLCs, provides a detailed introduction to the basic components, instruction set, and programming of the SLC500 series programmable controllers. Additionally, it covers the 1746 I/O modules, the NetLinx network architecture, industrial Ethernet, control networks, and device networks, as well as the design methods for PLC application systems. The final chapter introduces the application of SLC500 series PLCs in the programmable control systems of a thermal power plant, including FSSS, ETS, ash and slag removal, and coal conveying systems. This book is suitable for technicians engaged in industrial control system-related work for reading and training purposes, and can also serve as a teaching reference for university and college students majoring in industrial automation, electrical engineering, and mechatronics.
