With the continuous development of automation and artificial intelligence technologies, the industrial application of PLCs is becoming increasingly widespread. The learning and training of PLC technology are gradually extending from the level of knowledge to the level of skill application, and more and more people are beginning to engage in PLC-related work. Having professional PLC knowledge and mastering solid PLC application skills have become the urgent desire of many electrical and electronic learners and practitioners.
However, when it comes to PLC technology, one not only needs to have knowledge of electronic circuits but also needs to understand computer and programming thinking concepts, which has become a bottleneck for many PLC learners. The original intention of writing the book “Learn Mitsubishi PLC Programming From Scratch: Beginner, Intermediate, Application, Example” is to enable learners to quickly improve their learning ability and master comprehensive and professional PLC knowledge and skills in a short time.
