Fundamentals of Programmable Logic Controllers and Ladder Logic

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in truly learning PLC programming. It is a valuable resource that can help you understand the terminology and associated instrumentation. The book consists of 40 lessons, each with its own set of questions, which will motivate you to comprehend the concepts of programming and hardware selection. Additionally, I appreciated the inclusion of free software with a simulator that is available when you purchase the book. If you are looking to get into the world of PLCs, this book will be an incredibly useful tool.

Easy of read with wonderful examples to get your input program built with results that work. Great for starting new programming. Thank you

Book is very well written, clear and precise explanations of the theory and principles of PLCs and logic, good use of examples,simulator is a very good tool to provide hands on interaction to allow those to learn at their own pace. I have been in this industry for 22 yrs and would recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn industrial automation, would also made a good training tool or reference manual

This is the first item that reviews on amazon have let me down. This book is poorly written and bothers me trying to read. There are examples referred to that don't exist. The author is talking on one subject on one page and you think it will be continued on the next.....nope! You can find better information online than what's in this book. And the software that they mention....not a cd, but a website download. Kicker is, when you request the location to download...they never reply back....so no software! DO NOT BUY!!! If you do, you only have yourself to blame.

Purchased and very happy that I did. Reading this book and studying it, really helped me in understanding PLC. My hat goes off to the author Orlando Charria, kudos to you for writing a book that anyone can read and understand the concepts. Also, this includes software to write PLC programs and trouble shoot them. Great lessons to be learned. This book helps you write PLC programs. If you want to learn basic PLC, buy this book.
