The use of PLC’s and Process Automation Controllers is widespread throughout industry, and the need for technicians who are skilled in these areas, together with electrical and electronics troubleshooting skills, I believe has never been greater than it is today. The goal is to gain proficiency and build confidence in your programming abilities. “Table of Contents”, the whole focus of this book is to take you in a step-by-step journey through “basic” PLC

As you can tell by simply reading over the The best way to gain proficiency in any difficult subject is to develop a solid understanding of the “basics”, which thenīecome a foundation for necessary skills and abilities in any field of endeavor. Programming PLC’s, then I believe this book will greatly benefit you! Preface: Goals & Focus!
