Series: PLC Engineering Series
The PLC Engineering Series is a practical, structured collection created for automation engineers, maintenance technicians, electricians, programmers, students, and technical professionals who want to understand, program, diagnose, and improve modern industrial control systems.
Starting with essential PLC principles and progressing toward advanced industrial applications, the series connects theory with real engineering practice. Each book focuses on a specific level of PLC engineering, allowing readers to build their knowledge step by step or select the volume that best matches their current work.
Throughout the series, readers will explore PLC hardware, digital and analog signals, sensors and actuators, programming methods, industrial communication networks, system integration, troubleshooting, functional safety, motion control, redundancy, SCADA, commissioning, and lifecycle maintenance.
The books emphasize practical engineering decisions rather than platform-specific commands. The concepts can be applied across many major PLC environments and industrial automation platforms.
Inside the series, readers will find:
Clear explanations of PLC architecture and operation
Practical programming structures and reusable logic patterns
Digital and analog I/O engineering
Sensors, actuators, drives, motors, and field devices
Industrial Ethernet and communication protocols
Systematic troubleshooting and root-cause analysis
Signal diagnostics and intermittent-fault detection
Safety PLCs and functional safety principles
Servo systems, positioning, and coordinated motion
Redundant controllers and high-availability architectures
SCADA, HMI, alarms, historian systems, and OPC UA
FAT, SAT, commissioning, validation, and performance testing
Practical tables, technical illustrations, checklists, and real-world examples
The series is designed to answer not only how PLC systems work, but also the questions engineers face every day:
Why does a machine stop without an obvious fault?
How should reliable control logic be structured?
How can intermittent signal problems be detected?
What happens when a controller, network, or power supply fails?
How should safety, motion, SCADA, and ordinary PLC control work together?
How can an automation system be tested, documented, restored, and maintained throughout its lifecycle?
Each volume uses a direct, engineering-focused style that remains accessible to readers entering industrial automation while providing practical value for experienced professionals. Diagrams, fault tables, diagnostic procedures, commissioning records, and field checklists help translate technical concepts into usable methods.
Whether you are learning PLC engineering, preparing for an automation career, maintaining production machinery, improving an existing system, or commissioning a new industrial installation, the PLC Engineering Series provides a complete practical path from fundamentals to advanced system integration.
Build stronger PLC knowledge. Diagnose faults systematically. Design safer and more reliable automation systems.
