The Lab Manual for Programmable Logic Controllers: Hardware and Programming is designed to supplement your PLC training and works in conjunction with the Programmable Logic Controllers: Hardware and Programming textbook. The activities in this manual are written to give you hands-on experience practicing PLC programming and creating your own controller systems.
Most activities in this Lab Manual specify the use of RSLogix 500 software or LogixPro 500 software. LogixPro 500 is simulation software designed specifically for training, and is available at The Learning Pit (www.thelearningpit.com). Simulation software allows you to practice and develop your programming skills when and where you want.
