Sinopsis

Unlock the Most Widely Used PLC Platform in the World.

Are you ready to learn the fundamentals of PLC programming but don't know where to start? This guide is your ultimate introduction to the proven and reliable RSLogix 500 environment. Whether you're a student, an aspiring technician, or a professional looking to master legacy systems, this book will get you programming Allen-Bradley PLCs with confidence.

Forget dry, complex theory. We take a practical, step-by-step approach that starts from zero. You'll learn not just how to write ladder logic, but how to think like a programmer, structure a project, and build functional, real-world applications from the ground up.

Inside This Beginner's Guide, You Will Discover:

The Core Principles of Ladder Logic

  • Master the Basics: Get a clear, jargon-free introduction to the essentials of ladder logic, from basic instructions like XIC and OTE to how your code interacts with physical I/O.
  • Navigate with Confidence: Learn to master the RSLogix 500 interface, from its project windows and toolbars to every menu and option you'll need.
  • Structure for Success: Understand how to plan a project, break down a process into a logic flow diagram, and properly document your code with symbols and comments for easy troubleshooting.

How to Build Powerful, Functional Programs

  • Understand Memory Addressing: Get a detailed walkthrough of the RSLogix 500 data file system, learning how to correctly address inputs, outputs, binaries, timers, counters, and integers.
  • Control Program Flow: Master essential instructions like Timers, Counters, and Math functions, plus learn how to use Jumps (JMP) and Subroutines (JSR) to create efficient, organized code.
  • Connect to Your System: Learn the process for setting up communications using RSLinx Classic and adding peripheral devices like HMIs to your automation system.

Hands-On Experience That Builds Real Skills

  • Apply Your Knowledge: Reinforce every concept with practical scenarios referenced throughout the guide, showing you how these skills are used in the real world.
  • Two Complete Project Walkthroughs: Bring all your new skills together by building two common industrial applications from start to finish: a tank filling control system and a bottling line conveyor system.
  • FREE Downloadable Project Files: Accelerate your learning with the companion project files, allowing you to explore, test, and build upon the exact ladder logic used in the book's core examples.

This book is the perfect resource for anyone taking their first steps into automation, providing the essential knowledge needed for a successful career programming SLC 500 and MicroLogix PLCs.

This book is an introduction to ladder logic programming and will guide you through your very first steps in the RSLogix 500 environment. We take a detailed look at the entire RSLogix 500 interface, practical methods to build a PLC program, and how to connect to a MicroLogix PLC. We also cover the basics of ladder logic programming and simple programming principles that every beginner should know. By the end of this book you will be able to create a PLC program from start to finish, that can take on any real-world task.

What This Book Offers

Introduction to Ladder Logic Programming
We cover the essentials of what every beginner should know when starting to write their very first program. We also cover the basics of programming with ladder logic, and how ladder logic correlates to the PLC inputs and outputs. These principles are then put to work inside RSLogix 500, by explaining the basic commands that are required to control a machine.

Introduction to RSLogix 500
We go into meticulous detail on the workings of the RSLogix software, what each window looks like and how to navigate through the program. We cover every available instruction necessary for beginners, what each instruction does and which PLCs those instructions will work for. You will also learn about communication settings and how to add additional devices to your control system.

How to Work with Instructions
We show you how to assign instructions to static memory locations, and how to navigate and use the memory addressing system. This guide also covers the finer details of timers, counters and integers, as well as moves, jumps and math functions. All of which are essential to most programs.

A Real-World Practical Approach
Throughout the entire guide we reference practical scenarios where the various aspects we discuss are applied in the real world. We also include two full practical examples at the end, which brings together everything you will have learned in the preceding chapters.
