Using the S7-300/400 programmable logic controller as an example, the reader is given an overview of the structure and mode of operation of a modern automation system. The book also covers project planning and parameterisation of the controller and the distributed peripherals, explains communication via network connections and describes the ways in which a system can be operated and monitored. The reader is given an introduction to the various languages and their differences.
The book is excellent for all readers who have little knowledge in the area and wish to learn more about programmable logic controllers.
