Additional topics addressed include binary logic fundamentals, electrical and electronic principles, input and output systems, memory and addressing, programming languages, and data communication.

The fourth edition of the book provides increased coverage of all five standard PLC programming languages - Ladder Diagram, Function Block Diagram, Sequential Function Chart, Instruction List, and Structured Text - and the addition of numerous programming applications and examples to clearly explain each programming language.

All of the chapters in the book have been supplemented with new or improved example problems and exercises, making it ideal for self-study.
