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 volume explains hardware and associated basic concepts of PLC. Authors have used PIC16F1847 microcontroller with: 8192 words of Flash program memory, 1024 bytes of SRAM data memory, 256 bytes of EEPROM data memory, the maximum operating speed of 32 MHz, 16-level deep hardware stack, an enhanced instruction set consisting of 49 single-word instructions. Flowcharts are provided to help the understanding of macros (instructions). 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.
Provides easy to use software structures written by using the PIC Assembly programming language.
Describes a PLC from a designer's perspective.
Explains the basic hardware and basic software structures of the PIC16F1847 based PLC.
Focuses on concepts like Contact and Relay Based Macros, Flip-Flop Macros, Timer Macros, Counter Macros and Comparison Macros.

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 Melikşah 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.
