Takes the Mystery out of Automation
421 pages of Automation control concepts. Not only does it explain what controls is, it gives you an explanation of why we use controls. Remote IO, HMI, Programming styles, communications, Bar codes, High speed counters etc.. This book covers it all. The book lays out whats involved in automation, and gives the reader an understanding of the automation world.
For managers - yes this is good
I agree with the previous reviewer. This a book for managers and would be a great help for descision makers in deciding how best to use PLC technology.This is not a techincal book per-se but I think should be in every system integrators library.
I have found this to be great help as reference when talking to prsoective customers on best to implement an automation project. This is most serious weakness of most managers in the engineering world.
Very good.
5 stars - highly recommended
The PLC book for Automation Managers/Engineers
Most books dealing with PLC's are intended for technicians who would like to know more about the subject. This book is different. The author not only explains how to use a PLC, but he also shows why the PLC still plays a crucial role in most automated processes. Other PLC related subjects like communication, HMI and safety aspects are clearly described without loosing the basic subject. By comparing different PLC types, this book will also attract Automation Managers/Engineers who are considering a PLC in their automation concept.
