This first book, Basic Concepts of Ladder Logic Programming, of the five book PLC Programming Using RSLogix 500 series, focuses on many practical aspects of machine logic programming. Based on Allen Bradley's SLC 500 family of PLC's, the author takes you through the basic concepts and instructions used in ladder logic programming.
Topics discussed and illustrated include: Basic Instructions and how they function, PLC architecture, I/O module function and configuration, the use of timers and counter instructions, memory allocation and addressing syntax, field wiring, and many other important concepts.
The goal of this book is to provide a practical resource for those new to PLC technology and ladder logic programming; and to help you learn the necessary skills for doing your own programming and troubleshooting of PLC applications.

"The materials produced by Gary Anderson that concentrate on the
Allen-Bradley SLC 500 series of PLC equipment are of great value in
my estimation. The three books that I have, the first of this
series, are cost effective and concise. I believe that if used to
instruct a class of industrial electrical maintenance people, they
will provide a good platform from which to teach. My plan for the
work I do is to incorporate these texts into a week-long, 40-hour
boot camp style of PLC training class. This will take any novice
from beginner to solid technician and will enhance the more
competent tech. I look forward to other materials that will be
available from Mr. Anderson in the coming months and years. I would
advise anyone seeking affordable PLC teaching materials to give
these books a hard look".Kenneth R. Ludington
