mdavis Posted October 7, 2005 Report Posted October 7, 2005 I am a process control technician who has an interest in PLC and RTU programming in Ladder Diagram and Function Block. Do you know of any excellent easy to comprehend intermediate books or online courses where I can learn programming beyond AND, OR, JMP, CTR, and TMR functions? I have taken basic manufacturers PLC and HMI courses and would like to go further to understand Modbus/Modbus Plus communication, BTW/BTR, programming for analog input, programming for redundancy, moving data, and correct programming style. I am currently working with Allen Bradley, Modicon, and GE Fanuc PLCs and RTUs. Thank You Quote
