Hey all,

I'm not familiar with PLCs. I only have experience working with the BASIC Stamp microcontroller. Are there any good reads for a newbie like myself?

--thank you.

Hi Jack,

I have a few books on the subject, how deep do you want to go into PLC’s?
Shall I post them all here? ;D

For the money, if you want to teach yourself, try www.automationdirect.com.

It is a fantastic site.

Also if you just want to try using a simulator, google "The Learning Pit" They offer an excellent AB PLC 5 simulator. I am pretty sure it only costs $25 and it comes with a bunch of examples.

Do post all of them here. It would be great reference for myself and other elab users who are new to PLC.
