Learn about the capabilities of PLCs and their programming rules

Programmable logic controllers have been controlling the operation of automated industrial plants and production lines as well as machines and devices used in various industries for almost half a century. Along with the ongoing automation of the industry, there is a growing demand for such solutions, and hence also for specialists who are able to program them accordingly. If you want to join this sought-after and well-paid professional group, you should thoroughly learn the most popular drivers and learn how to program them efficiently. Of course, using modern tools for automation.

Thanks to this book you will get to know the popular S7-1200 driver, get acquainted with the SCL language and learn to use the TIA Portal development environment . On the practical example of a complete industrial transport line project, you will discover the basic features and capabilities of modern PLC equipment, data structures and syntax structures of an efficient SCL language and functions offered by the environment supporting each stage of project development. You will learn how to design, program and analyze a specific industrial application and test it using the FactoryIO tool. If you are a student of an electronic technical school, a student of a related field or an automation who wants to get to know the Siemens driver better and learn how to program it, it is a book for you!
