Features: This book is the improved version of the SIMATIC S7 series tutorials, including "Teaching Material on Programmable Controllers (Basic Level)," "Teaching Material on Programmable Controllers (Practical Training)," and "Teaching Material on Programmable Controllers (Advanced Level)." Using the SIMATIC S7-300 series PLC, which is currently the most widely used and has the highest market share in China, this book takes an engineering application perspective, emphasizing practicality and application. It introduces the working principles of PLCs and the application of the S7-300 series PLC from the following aspects: (1) The composition and working principles of PLCs; (2) The hardware system, configuration, and instruction system of the S7-300 series PLC, as well as the use of standard STEP 7 programming software; (3) The data structure and interrupt processing of the S7-300 series PLC, with engineering examples using structured programming; (4) The functionality and applications of SIEMENS's simulation software SIMATIC S7 PLCSIM; (5) Guidance on PLC course design. This book can serve as teaching material for related majors such as automation, electrical technology, mechatronics, and computer applications in higher education institutions, as well as a technical reference for a broad range of electrical engineering technicians. Free electronic courseware is provided to instructors.
