Features: Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) have become important automation devices in industrial control and are one of the three pillars of automatic control technology. This book introduces the basic concepts and working principles of PLCs in an accessible manner, with a focus on the instruction system, typical applications, and maintenance techniques of the Rockwell Automation A-B Company's PLC-5 series. The book is divided into three parts—Fundamentals, Systems, and Applications—with a total of 12 chapters. The main content includes basic PLC knowledge, working principles, application design methods, and system installation, debugging, and maintenance techniques. Based on an introduction to the general overview of the A-B PLC system, the book emphasizes the leading products of A-B PLCs, the PLC-5 processor and its system, the memory organization and instruction system of the processor, as well as typical ladder diagram programming, system program planning, related software, and application system examples. This book can serve as a teaching reference for universities and colleges in engineering automation and related fields, a textbook for adult education and professional technical training classes, or self-study material. It can also be used as a reference for engineering and technical personnel in the electromechanical industry.
