Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) have been used extensively and are offered in terms of functions, program memories, and the number of inputs/outputs (I/Os), ranging from a few to thousands. With a focus on how to design and implement a PLC, this set explains hardware and associated basic concepts, intermediary and advanced concepts of PLC (using PIC16F1847 microcontroller). Flowcharts are provided to help the understanding of macros (instructions). Twenty application examples to show how to use the PIC16F1847-Based PLC in different control applications, related files for hardware and software components, and appendices are also provided. Aimed at researchers and graduate students in electrical engineering, power electronics, robotics and automation, sensors, this book:

• Explains how to design and use a PIC16F1847 microcontroller-based PLC including easy to use software structures.
• Covers concepts like Contact and Relay Based Macros, Flip-Flop Macros, Timer Macros, Counter Macros and Comparison Macros.
• Presents arithmetical and logical macros to carry out arithmetical and logical operations to be used for 8-bit or 16-bit variables and/or constant values.
• Illustrates program control macros to enable or disable a block of PLC program or to move execution of a program from one place to another.
• Discusses the implementation of Sequential Function Chart (SFC) elements with up to 24 steps.

Murat Uzam was borned in Soeke, Turkey, in 1968. He received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees from Electrical Engineering Department, Yildiz Technical University, Istanbul, Turkey, 1989 and 1991, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree from University of Salford, Salford, U.K., in 1998. He was with Nigde University, Turkey, from 1993 to 2010 in the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering as a Research Assistant, Assistant Professor, Associate Professor and Professor. He was a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, at Meliksah University in Kayseri, Turkey from 2011 to 2016. He was a Visiting Researcher with INRIA, University of Metz and University of Rennes, France, in 1999, with University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada, in 2003, and with Xidian University, Xi'an, China, in 2013, 2015 and 2019. Since 15 April 2020, he has been serving as a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, at Yozgat Bozok University in Yozgat, Turkey. He has published 50 conference papers and 85 journal and magazine papers, 70 of which are indexed by Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE). He has published two books in Turkish and one book in English by CRC Press (Taylor & Francis Group). According to Publons, his H-Index is 15 and his papers have been cited 1269 times by the papers indexed in the SCIE. His current research interests include design and implementation of discrete event control systems modeled by Petri nets and, in particular, deadlock prevention/liveness enforcing in flexible manufacturing systems, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), microcontrollers (especially PIC microcontrollers), and design of microcontroller-based PLCs. Dr. Uzam has been serving as a reviewer for prestigious journals and conferences. According to Publons, the number of his verified reviews is 70.
