Learning RSLogix 5000 Programming: Build robust PLC solutions with ControlLogix, CompactLogix, and Studio 5000/RSLogix 5000 2nd ed. Edition

This book has very good content and is what I would rank as one of the better PLC programming books. IT teaches you the actual things you need to know, like the management side of programming and being clean and understanding the importance of these things. It really is a great book for beginners becuase it teaches all of the things you should actually learn starting out that no one really os ever going to show you. I wish I would have bought this book 3 years agot o be honest. While it doesn't cover these program management, network, or selection topics in depth, it scratches the surface enough for you to realize the importance of them and know what content you need to seek next.

The book has a great, logical progression going from the early history of automation right through to modern day cyber security concerns, with concrete examples all the way through. The book complements and builds upon Rockwell's own literature, transitioning and guiding you from high level concepts down to the low level detail.I really appreciate the writing style - its logical and clear. It is also highly illustrated which helps with absorbing information quickly. There were quite a few best practices that the author called out that I wasn't aware of! I found it really helpful as a reference.

Some reviews state that this book is mostly an advertisement for AB products, however as a working automation engineer, I found a lot of the information in the beginning chapters of the book crucial to knowing the compatibility of PLC and PAC components for quick problem-solving in real world situations. Highly recommend this book as a refresher or to expand your knowledge for working professionals.

Great product. Well packaged. Delivered on time. Glad to find this product!

This is this book I was looking for during my time as an automation specialist. Many of the topics that Austin covers are ones that I have come across from time spent with ControlLogix and CompactLogix systems at various O&G assets while performing automation changes and upgrades. Experienced users and beginners alike will find something to glean from after going through this book. Austin covers topics ranging from Card Numbering Conventions, I/O Buffering, Industrial Communications and Protocols, Processor Tuning, IEC 61131-3 languages, and an all-important chapter on Cybersecurity. The final chapter summarizes the book by building a robot bartender, an excellent way to apply learnings and reap the benefits of home automation projects.

The book is little more than a brochure of Allen-Bradley’s previous components and their cross compatibility. Doesn’t even scratch the surface for those who are serious about learning.

Got this to help in learning more about PLC programing easy to read and great content
