We will avoid getting into control theory and focus on condensing the information specific to RSLogix 5000. We have selected the key areas of RSLogix and provide a step-by-step approach to teaching them.This book start by follows the steps involved in creating a new RSLogix 5000 project and configuring racks, slots, and channels. Next, we will create routines using the various languages available in RSLogix 5000, troubleshooting and resolving issues we encounter along the way. Finally, we will dive into the advanced features, such as online changes, code generation, task management, and user-defined structures.You will also learn object-oriented PLC programming techniques using advanced features like user-defined types (UDTs) that improve the maintainability, uniformity, and readability of our routines. We also highlight the strengths and limitations of online changes and demonstrate techniques to maximize flexibility.You will learn everything you need to get up and running with RSLogix 5000 as well as best practices used by industry experts.What you will learnSet up a Logix 5000 PLC rackCreate tags and understand the tag scopeWrite Ladder Logic (LL) routinesGet to grips with Function Block Diagrams (FBD) and how they easily integrate with HMIsWrite Sequential Function Chart (SFC) routinesGenerate Structured Text routines (ST)Understand uploading and downloading to your PLCExport tags, programs, and edit L5X filesLearn routine generation techniques with Instruction List (IL) codeUnderstand the strengths and limitations of online changesLearn basic troubleshooting techniquesWho this book is forThe purpose of this book is to capture the core elements of PLC programming with RSLogix 5000 so that electricians, instrumentation techs, automation professionals, and students who are familiar with basic PLC programming techniques can come up to speed with a minimal investment of time and energy.

Getting started with the processes and the tools to continuously deliver high-quality software

Key Features

Book Description

The challenge faced by many teams while implementing Continuous Deployment is that it requires the use of many tools and processes that all work together. Learning and implementing all these tools (correctly) takes a lot of time and effort, leading people to wonder whether it's really worth it. This book sets up a project to show you the different steps, processes, and tools in Continuous Deployment and the actual problems they solve.

We start by introducing Continuous Integration (CI), deployment, and delivery as well as providing an overview of the tools used in CI. You'll then create a web app and see how Git can be used in a CI environment. Moving on, you'll explore unit testing using Jasmine and browser testing using Karma and Selenium for your app. You'll also find out how to automate tasks using Gulp and Jenkins. Next, you'll get acquainted with database integration for different platforms, such as MongoDB and PostgreSQL. Finally, you'll set up different Jenkins jobs to integrate with Node.js and C# projects, and Jenkins pipelines to make branching easier.

By the end of the book, you'll have implemented Continuous Delivery and deployment from scratch.
