3.- CPU CPU / Considerations when choosing it: PLC availability in the global market
written by Fidel Issac Almazan Silva
4.- Programming: 3 types syntax in programs / PLC Programming Option 1: LogixPro
Simulator TheLearningPit 1.61 / 4 PLC / Option 2: RS Logix de AB (Rockwell) 8-8.3 /
Option 3: WinLDR See 4 to 6 of IDEC (IZUMI) / Option 4: Mitsubishi, LG, GE, Omron,
FANUC, Square D, etc.
NOTE: In any option, laboratory practice (Basic programming exercises) + Application
(Basic instructions in Ladder Diagram -AB or TLP) is used. Technical advice in Physical
and Simulated logic.
