5SLC500 PLCs  Jun 26, 2004
Excellent for getting a good training on PLCs. First half is general PLCs and second half mostly SLC500. This is the main book, not the Lab Manual. You can order the lab manual that has the large words "Lab Manual" on the cover. Just to be sure I requested NOT getting the lab manual. I also keep this book at work for ref book.

1Introduction to Programmable Logic Controllers (Electrical T  Dec 22, 2002
This is a LAB Manual. It is no good unless you have the software that goes along with it. I will be returning it.

4Good starters book  Aug 28, 2001
I recommend this book to my students who are getting started in PLC programming. It is a good beginner's book but more advanced readers will be disappointed. The reason I did not give it five stars is because the book is a little too pricey for basically being a lab manual. With this book and the PLC drivers at http://www.vhmiautomation.com/PLCCD.html my students have had great success with interfacing to various PLCs also.

1LAB MANUAL  Nov 16, 2000
What the publisher's blurb and the other reviews DON"T say is that this is a LAB MANUAL! If you don't have the appropiate software it's value is very limited. I will be returning it to exchange for a real "Intro to PLC's".

4An Instructors Dream  Dec 16, 1999
I teach a basic course in programmable logic controllers. I have found this book to be a dream come true. While there are a lot of books out today dealing with PLCs most of them fall far short of this book. This is the first book that I have found that covers "Documenting Your System" which is a very important subject that has been ignored by other authors. I highly recommended this book.
