Written for programmable logic controller programmers, this book describes how to create a functional machine control program for industrial equipment that is sequential in nature.The programming methodology starts by breaking the machine into its basic elements. These small and manageable elements allow the programmer to focus on large concerns before dealing with specifics. The methodology then shows how to program each element and how to assemble the elements together into a complete machine control program. The book is intended to provide programmers with the confidence they need to reach decisions, and move forward with the certainty that the program is performing as intended without odd combinations of logic causing unintentional actions. The sequential nature of events will also help operators and maintenance personnel troubleshoot and maintain the equipment after it is put into operation. Ladder logic illustrations demonstrate each part of the text. Although the ladder logic examples use the instruction set for the Allen Bradley SLC 500 programmable logic controller, the concepts and techniques can be used with any brand of programmable logic controller.

Gary Kirckof has spent the bulk of his twenty-year career programming automated equipment and assembly lines. Cascading Logic is a direct result of that experience. He is a mechanical engineering graduate of the University of Minnesota and as such started his career engineering process piping, heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems. The shift in focus to programming happened in stages. The first step occurred after the energy crisis when energy management system became popular. These systems were designed to reduce the operating cost of the equipment he was working with so programming them became part of his job. The next step happened while installing an energy management system in a Ford Motor Company plant. While working up in the trusses he looked down at all the automated equipment below him and decided right then and there to become a machine programmer. His affinity towards programming and his mechanical engineering background made him a natural control engineer. Gary Kirckof is currently a system engineer for Remmele Engineering in St. Paul, Minnesota and is both a registered mechanical and electrical engineer.
