Unleash the power of PLCs by understanding and applying Structured Text, programming logic, and technologies like ChatGPT and much more

Key Features

Build a solid foundation of Structured Text by understanding its syntax, features, and applications Learn how to apply programming logic and design by taking a design-first approach to PLC programming Integrate advanced concepts and technologies such as cybersecurity and generative AI with PLCs Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook

Book DescriptionWith the rise of smart factories and advanced technology, the demand for PLC programmers with expertise beyond ladder logic is surging. Written by M.T. White, a seasoned DevOps engineer and adjunct CIS instructor, this guide offers insights from the author's extensive experience in PLC and HMI programming across industries. This book introduces a fresh approach to PLC programming, preparing you for future automation challenges through computer science and text-based programming. Starting with the basic components of PLCs and their integration with other modules, this book gives you a clear understanding of system functionality and helps you master PLC program execution by learning about flow and essential components for effective programming. You'll understand program design with pseudocode and flowcharts, vital for planning programs, and cover Boolean logic intricacies, harnessing logical functions and truth tables for precise control statements. The book gives you a comprehensive grasp of Structured Text, its syntax and features crucial for efficient programming. The book also focuses on advanced topics like cybersecurity in PLC systems and leveraging generative AI (GenAI), such as ChatGPT, to enhance productivity. By the end of this book, you'll be able to design real-world projects using pseudocode and flowcharts, and implement those designs in Structured Text.What you will learn

Implement PLC programs in Structured text Experiment with common functions in Structured Text Control the flow of a PLC program with loop and conditional statements Design a PLC program with pseudocode and flowcharts Implement common sorting algorithms such as bubble sort and insertion sort, and understand concepts such as Big O Understand the basics of cybersecurity to protect PLC-based systems Leverage ChatGPT for PLC programming Get to grips with troubleshooting hardware and fixing common problems

Who this book is forThis book is for automation engineering students and individuals who are aspiring to be software, electrical, mechanical, or automation engineers with an interest in reshaping the automation industry.
