Features: This book is based on practical training teaching and starts from the perspective of technology and engineering applications. Taking the FX2N model as the background, it systematically introduces the content of practical training in programmable controllers and their application technology. To meet the needs of different levels and disciplines, the book is divided into three parts: basic training, applied technology, and engineering practice. It covers the understanding and use of programmable controllers, system composition, program design and debugging, application instructions and special function modules, as well as the engineering applications of PLC technology. The book includes numerous practical training tasks and exercises, emphasizing the cultivation of engineering practical skills and can be used to guide students in practical training, course design, and graduation projects. The book combines theory with practice, with practical training as the main thread, fully reflecting the applied characteristics and competency-based approach of higher vocational education. It highlights the cultivation of applied skills and innovative qualities, with rich content and strong practicality. This book can serve as a textbook for relevant disciplines such as industrial electrical automation, industrial electricalization, electrical technology, applied electronics technology, mechanical and electrical application technology, mechatronics, industrial instrument automation, and computer application technology in higher vocational colleges, adult education, and secondary vocational schools. It can also be used as a reference for engineering technicians and as a training textbook.
[Preface] Preface to the Second Edition
Chemical Industry Press published a total of 20 textbooks for electrical professionals between 2001. This series of textbooks is based on the training objectives of higher vocational and technical education, follows the needs of social development, emphasizes practicality and targeting, and strengthens the cultivation of practical skills, playing a significant role in promoting the development of higher vocational and technical education. Some textbooks have been reprinted multiple times and have received praise from a wide range of institutions. Through nearly four years of teaching practice and the need for higher vocational education to adapt to the integration of various disciplines and professional adjustments in institutions across the country, a revision of this series of textbooks was organized by the end of 2004. Based on the 2002 edition, this book summarizes the teaching experience of the past four years, considers the updates and replacements of equipment (FX2 has been replaced by FX2N), and comprehensively revises the textbook, making necessary adjustments and selections in content and structure. New knowledge and technologies are added to make the content more up-to-date and practical. Considering the rapid development of PLC technology, this revision changes the FX2 model in the previous edition to the FX2N model. These two models are both products of Mitsubishi, and they are fully compatible in terms of technology. Therefore, based on teaching needs and practical applications, the book selects the Mitsubishi FX2N series, a high-performance, micro PLC with distinctive features and market popularity, as the background model. It comprehensively introduces the hardware system, working mode, use of the programmer, and programming methods and techniques of programmable controllers. With engineering applications as the practical training goal, it strengthens the practical training of applied technology, engineering practice, application instructions, and special function modules. The practical training tasks are relatively independent yet interconnected, with broad content coverage and strong selectivity, meeting the needs of different levels and disciplines. This book can be used in conjunction with "PLC Application Technology" (Second Edition, edited by Zhang Wanzhong, Chemical Industry Press) or used independently. The practical training tasks listed in the book aim to train the thinking and methods of PLC application technology. With modifications and adaptations, they can be applied to other models. The book includes twenty-eight practical training tasks and one appendix. Practical training tasks 2, 3, 5, 9–11, 18–20, 27, and 28 were written by Li Junxiu; tasks 1, 6–8, 21–24 were written by Zhao Liming; tasks 12–17 and the appendix were written by Zheng Deming; tasks 4, 25, and 26 were written by Jin Sha. Li Junxiu and Zhao Liming served as the chief editors, with Li Junxiu responsible for the overall compilation of the book. Both the first edition and the second edition of this book were reviewed by Professor Hu Yankui. For his valuable suggestions during this revision, the author expresses heartfelt gratitude! During the writing and revision process, the book received strong support and assistance from many organizations and individuals, for which sincere thanks are expressed! Due to the limited capabilities of the authors, errors and omissions are inevitable. The author sincerely invites readers to point out any shortcomings.
