Features: Programmable Controller (PLC) is a new type of control device that integrates microelectronics technology, automation technology, computer technology, and communication technology, with the goal of industrial automation control. The PLC products widely used in China mainly include Siemens' S7 series, Mitsubishi's F series, Oki's C series, Panasonic Electric's FP1 series from Japan, and GE's GE series from the United States. Among them, Siemens' S7-200 small PLC holds an important position in the field of automatic control due to its compact structure, high reliability, and comprehensive functions. This book takes Siemens' currently popular S7-200 series CPU22X small PLC as the background, starting from an engineering application perspective, it focuses on introducing the composition, principles, instruction system, and programming methods of PLCs, and discusses in-depth and clearly the design methods of PLC systems, while listing numerous typical application examples of the S7 series PLC in control systems.
Chapter 1 and 2 of this book provide an overview of Programmable Controllers and their constituent principles; Chapter 3, S7-200 Programmable Controller, focuses on introducing the composition principles of the CPU22X PLC, programming devices, system expansion, and programming languages; Chapter 4, Programming Software, focuses on introducing the usage of the Chinese-localized version of STEP 7-Micro/WIN32 V3.1; Chapters 5 and 6 introduce the instruction system of the S7-200 PLC; Chapter 7, PLC Application System Design, focuses on introducing the principles of PLC application systems and process design methods as well as application examples; Chapter 8, Network Communication, introduces the composition of PLC networks and communication methods; Chapter 9, Other Models, introduces other PLC models; Chapter 10, Experiment Guidance, introduces the composition and principles of PLC experimental devices and experimental requirements. Each chapter is followed by a summary and exercises.
This textbook is part of the "Fifteenth Five-Year Plan" National-Level Planning Textbook for General Higher Education and is suitable for teaching in electrical and mechatronics-related majors. It can also serve as a reference for other technical personnel.
