In this book I provide the foundation you will need to begin writing your first ladder logic program, using RSLogix 500. I also provide advanced and practical hands-on training you need to a program Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) with confidence.<br /><br />It is simply not enough to have a PLC user guide/manual, or refer to the help content in order become a skilled PLC programmer. This book is a great resource for learning PLC programming skills. It will give you a head start if this is your first time programming a PLC. It will also teach you advanced techniques that you can use to design, build and program anything on the RSLogix 500 platform.<br /><br />After reading the book, you will have a good understanding and broad knowledge of PLCs and ladder logic programming. You will also be able to apply it to numerous real-world situations and industrial applications, such as:<ul> <li>Paper Mill</li> <li>Coal Kiln</li> <li>Shaft Kiln</li> <li>Glass Industry</li> <li>Cement Industry</li> <li>Automated Drill Press Control</li> <li>SCADA</li> <li>Robot Cell with Trapped-key Access</li> <li>and so much more.</li></ul>Using real-world situations and industrial applications is the best way to learn PLC programming. This book contains real-world examples and industrial applications that will help you to quickly learn many functions and features of RSLogix 500.<br /><br />The methods I present in this book are the ones that are most commonly used in industrial automation. They may be all you ever need. This book is a valuable resource for anyone who is just starting out in PLC programming, as well as any other skilled programmer of PLCs, regardless of their level.<br /><br />One of the most frequent questions I get from beginners is, &quot;Where can I download RSLogix 500 for free?&quot; Later in this book, I provide links to <b>free versions of RSLogix 500 and RSLogix Emulate 500</b>. So, to learn, run and test your ladder logic programs, <b>you don&#39;t need a PLC</b>.<br /><br />You will not only learn <b>how to obtain these Rockwell Automation software without any hassle</b>. I also demonstrate with clear screenshots how to configure, navigate, and use them to create ladder logic programs.<br /><br />&nbsp;
