Features: This book is divided into two parts: the Basic Section and the Network Section. The Basic Section introduces the fundamental knowledge of Programmable Controllers (PCs) and takes the widely used OMRON integrated small machine CPM1A as a background to systematically explain the instruction system, programming methods, and design methods of PCs and control systems. It also covers other PC models and intelligent modules recently introduced by OMRON, as well as modular PCs. The Network Section primarily introduces nine types of FA networks from OMRON, including HOSTLink, ControllerLink, CompoBus/D, Ethernet, etc. For each network, detailed discussions are provided on communication units, network configuration, network functions, connection of communication ports, communication protocols, related programming, and calculation of communication time. This book is systematic, clearly explained, easy to understand, and practical, with theoretical knowledge closely linked to real-world applications. It includes exercises and experimental guidance, making it convenient for teaching and self-study. This book can serve as a textbook for universities and colleges in automation, electrical technology, computer applications, mechatronics, and other related fields. It can also be used as a teaching material for PC training courses and as a reference book for engineering and technical personnel.
