Wrebiak D. Practical PLC Programming for Beginners. A Hands-On Guide...2026

Textbook in PDF format Learning programmable logic controller (PLC) programming can be overwhelming for beginners. This book bridges the gap between theory and practice with a hands-on, guided approach to industrial control. The book begins with a clear theoretical introduction, explaining fundamental concepts such as what a PLC is, its role in industrial automation, and the structure of an automation system. But the focus quickly shifts to a practical, project-based scenario: designing, programming and commissioning of a production line with an integrated quality control system. Through this real-world scenario, you’ll gradually develop their skills by working through different stages of automation implementation. Practical PLC Programming uses a unique narrative-driven approach to guide readers through the complete journey of developing a real industrial automation project—just like a PLC engineer would experience in the field. What You Will Learn: Master control theory with practical applications Understand key automation concepts Program PLCs from scratch Create industrial visualizations Design and integrate visualization systems in CODESYS Examine the fundamentals of PLC programming with Ladder Logic (LAD) and Function Block Diagram (FBD) Who This Book Is For: Engineers looking to gain PLC programming skills from scratch, as well as for technicians and students specializing in mechatronics, electrical engineering, and industrial automation. Contents: Preface Initiating Your Journey Exploring PLC Fundamentals Understanding the Automation Pyramid Digital IO for Lighting Control Basic Gate Control in the Production Facility Advanced Gate Control in the Production Facility Heating and Cooling Control in the Production Facility Trends and Alarms Conveyor Control and Product Quality Assurance Sequential Function Chart (SFC) Programming for Conveyor and Quality Control Automation Practical Tips and Best Practices Epilogue Index
