Programmable Logic Controllers

The other editions of this same 5th edition appear to only differ in that the illustrations in this book are black and white and the other editions are in color. For the difference in price, this is the way to go.

I didn't see that I was getting the Indian version. Kinda weird. This is pretty much same book as the fourth edition. I borrowed the fourth edition and I was hoping this one had more info. I think Mr. Petruzella has moved onto other ventures. Still one of the best PLC books I have read.

This is "the" plc book. It gives you all the knowledge associated with plc that you will ever need. It covers laddering very deeply and it's to the point. Of you are serious about learning plc programming, this is the book you need.

This was an India only edition The publisher couldn’t even find the ISBN number in their database.

Not good

Good book

Not a bad reference for most users. It is a little basic and some of the info is dated. It's a little weak in more advanced areas like indiredt addressing, use and construction of subroutines, but otherwise this is a good book to keep in a general library for technicians responsible for supporting PLC based systems.

I have used this text in our PLC class for three years. I really like that it is specific to Allan Bradley products. The workbook that goes with this text has programming assignments to reinforce the concepts. As I train on AB SLC500s exclusively, it is almost ideal. I say almost becaue there are many references to obsolete instructions used with a PLC no longer manufactured. It is due for a new edition. But until then, it remains a very good text to teach from, or if you simply want to know more about the subject.

Nice book for PLC.
