This practical monograph gives a comprehensive introduction to the concepts and languages of the IEC 61131 standard used to program industrial control systems. The second edition of this established reference covers the latest developments of the IEC 61131 standard. The text and the numerous examples have been extensively updated and present the state of the art of programming industrial automation systems. A summary of the special requirements in programming industrial automation systems and the corresponding features in the IEC 61131-3 standard makes the book suitable for students as well as PLC experts. The material is presented in an easy-to-understand form using numerous examples, illustrations and summary tables. The book also includes a purchaser's guide as well as reduced but functional versions of programming systems on CD-ROM and DVD. These increase the value of the book for PLC programmers and for those in charge of purchasing software in industrial companies.
