This practice-oriented guide to programming with Field Programmable Logic Devices is the most complete resource on the subject. FPLDs are an essential part of today's high-performance electronic systems because they save board space, use less power, and offer quicker turnaround times than traditional integrated circuits. However, to maximize FPLDs, designers must understand and get around the tradeoffs involved. This one-stop guide addresses the challenges and opportunities through detailed coverage of: FPGAs, PLDs, PLAs, and CPLDs; the high-level description languages VHDL and Verilog; test issues; and more.

This book gives an introduction to Structured Text (ST), used in Programmable Logic Control (PLC). The book can be used for all types of PLC brands including Siemens Structured Control Language (SCL) and Programmable Automation Controllers (PAC). Contents: - Background, advantage and challenge when ST programming - Syntax and fundamental ST programming - Widespread guide to reasonable naming of variables - CTU, TOF, TON, CASE, STRUCT, ENUM, ARRAY, STRING - Guide to split-up into program modules and functions - More than 90 PLC code examples in black/white - FIFO, RND, 3D ARRAY and digital filter - Examples: From LADDER to ST programming - Guide to solve programming exercises Many clarifying explanations to the PLC code and focus on the fact that the reader should learn how to write a stable, robust, readable, structured and clear code are also included in the book. Furthermore, the focus is that the reader will be able to write a PLC code, which does not require a specific PLC type and PLC code, which can be reused. The basis of the book is a material which is currently compiled with feedback from lecturers and students attending the AP Education in Automation Engineering at the local Dania Academy, "Erhvervsakademi Dania", Randers, Denmark. The material is thus currently updated so that it answers all the questions which the students typically ask through-out the period of studying. The author is Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (B.Sc.E.E.) and has 25 years of experience within specification, development, programming and supplying complex control solutions and supervision systems. The author is Assistant Professor and teaching PLC control systems at higher educations. LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tommejerantonsen/

Description Logics are a family of knowledge representation languages that have been studied extensively in Artificial Intelligence over the last two decades. They are embodied in several knowledge-based systems and are used to develop various real-life applications. The Description Logic Handbook provides a thorough account of the subject, covering all aspects of research in this field, namely: theory, implementation, and applications. Its appeal will be broad, ranging from more theoretically-oriented readers, to those with more practically-oriented interests who need a sound and modern understanding of knowledge representation systems based on Description Logics. The chapters are written by some of the most prominent researchers in the field, introducing the basic technical material before taking the reader to the current state of the subject, and including comprehensive guides to the literature. In sum, the book will serve as a unique reference for the subject, and can also be used for self-study or in conjunction with Knowledge Representation and Artificial Intelligence courses.

Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are increasing in use, and technicians in all fields must be familiar with the fundamentals of installing, programming, and troubleshooting digital and analog PLCs. Introduction to Programmable Logic Controllers is a text/workbook that provides a solid foundation in PLC theory, installation, programming, operation, and troubleshooting. Many large, detailed drawings of commercial and industrial PLC systems are used to support the information in the textbook. Although hands-on training on industrial equipment is the best training method, teaching the use of digital and analog PLCs is often a challenge because of the high costs of equipment. This training package provides several alternatives to these costs.

This is the introduction to PLCs for which baffled students, technicians and managers have been waiting. In this straightforward, easy-to-read guide, Bill Bolton has kept the jargon to a minimum, considered all the programming methods in the standard IEC 1131-3 - in particular ladder programming, and presented the subject in a way that is not device specific to ensure maximum applicability to courses in electronics and control systems.Now in its fourth edition, this best-selling text has been expanded with increased coverage of industrial systems and PLCs and more consideration has been given to IEC 1131-3 and all the programming methods in the standard. The new edition brings the book fully up to date with the current developments in PLCs, describing new and important applications such as PLC use in communications (e.g. Ethernet – an extremely popular system), and safety – in particular proprietary emergency stop relays (now appearing in practically every PLC based system).The coverage of commonly used PLCs has been increased, including the ever popular Allen Bradley PLCs, making this book an essential source of information both for professionals wishing to update their knowledge, as well as students who require a straight forward introduction to this area of control engineering.Having read this book, readers will be able to:* Identify the main design characteristics and internal architecture of PLCs* Describe and identify the characteristics of commonly used input and output devices* Explain the processing of inputs and outputs of PLCs* Describe communication links involved with control systems* Develop ladder programs for the logic functions AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOT and XOR* Develop functional block, instruction list, structured text and sequential function chart programs* Develop programs using internal relays, timers, counters, shift registers, sequencers and data handling* Identify safety issues with PLC systems* Identify methods used for fault diagnosis, testing and debugging programsFully matched to the requirements of BTEC Higher Nationals, students are able to check their learning and understanding as they work through the text using the Problems section at the end of each chapter. Complete answers are provided in the back of the book.* Thoroughly practical introduction to PLC use and application - not device specific, ensuring relevance to a wide range of courses* New edition expanded with increased coverage of IEC 1131-3, industrial control scenarios and communications - an important aspect of PLC use* Problems included at the end of each chapter, with a complete set of answers given at the back of the book
