PID Programming Using RSLogix 500

I found this book to be informative and easy to follow. It will definitely stay in my professional library as a useful reference and troubleshooting tool.Thank You

SUPERIOR! AWESOME BOOK! I LOVE IT! It is technical enough, as well as written basic enough for all to gain a very good understanding of the PID!

Author Gary Anderson has a very good understanding of the technical aspect of PID controls; THEORY is explained very well in the book. But, he should have at least gave one, just one, real world scenario. Maybe an example (rung logic) of using the AB SLC 5/03, he could have given a scenario of maintaining a pH bath, chiller water or even a blast oven.... just something relating to the structured programming. Only two (2) commands, PID and SCL (scaling) are used within the book. There are no references to hardware of where you should be using your control words; maybe he could have related it to a 1746-NI4 analog I/O module?This book will only supplement the Rockwell Publication 1747-RM001G-EN-P - November 2008 (Chapter 9) but don't expect to create any code after reading this book. The publication is a free download from Rockwell in .pdf format.

Very useful for micrologix PID

Good Buy

Honestly, I felt like this book was copied from a manual with personal experience sprinkled through-out. The only reason why its not 1 star is because the pid control settings were explained well enough for me to understand each bit and its functions.

Not to fancy

This book is written in a confused and confused way, and it is doubtful whether the author knows PID control.
