Applied Programmable Logic
Control Lab Manual
Daniel Nichols
Learning programmable logic controllers (PLCs)
can be fun when users are able to make connections with familiar
control systems like conveyer belts and traffic lights!
This innovative Lab Manual uses projects and
examples that are based on everyday automated control systems to
provide readers with a clear understanding of the "hows" and "whys"
involved in the use of latches, timers, counters, sensors, relays,
and more.
A comprehensive introduction to ladder logic
diagrams and PLCs sets the stage for more than 50 project-based lab
exercises that effectively expose users to a number of control
situations for active, "hands-on" learning.
Features:
- while the programs in this manual are
written for Automation Direct's DL05 PLC using their DirectSoft32
software, the ideas and program layouts are universal and can be
applied to any PLC
- cleverly relates principles of automated
control to such common systems as burglar alarms, microwave ovens,
washing machines, and drawbridges for a clearer understanding of
the material
- coverage of Analog to Digital Converters (ADCs)
and Digital to Analog Converters (DACs) is included
- compelling and well-thought out lab
exercises provide readers with in-depth experience in a variety of
scenarios that enhance the learning process
