Programming Industrial Control Systems Using IEC 1131-3
By Robert Lewis

Published by The Institution of Electrical Engineers Hard cover - 336 pages Revised edition ISBN: 0-85296-950-3 Language: English Available at Amazon.de Available at Amazon.com

Although primarily for programmable logic controllers (PLCs), IEC 1131-3 can be applied to all software for controlling industrial and manufacturing processes. Many of the IEC 1131-3 concepts will also influence the design of software for fieldbus devices. This book introduces all the concepts of the IEC 1131-3 standard and provides examples of the languages related to typical industrial control problems. It will be of interest to everyone involved in specifying or developing software for industrial or manufacturing applications. The text will also be of value to students and engineers with a general interest in new techniques for industrial control systems.
Robert Lewis is the UK expert on two IEC working groups defining the PLC programming language standard (IEC 1131-3) and developing a new standard for specifying re-usable software function blocks for distributed industrial and manufacturing systems (IEC 1499).

Programmable Logic Controllers:
A practical approach to IEC 61131-3 using CoDeSys
By Dag H. Hansse

Hard cover, 416 pages Edition 2015 ISBN: 978-1-118-94924-5 Language: English

Widely used across industrial and manufacturing automation, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) perform a broad range of electromechanical tasks with multiple input and output arrangements, designed specifically to cope in severe environmental conditions such as automotive and chemical plants.

Programmable Logic Controllers: A Practical Approach using CoDeSys is a hands-on guide to rapidly gain proficiency in the development and operation of PLCs based on the IEC 61131-3 standard. Using the freely-available* software tool CoDeSys, which is widely used in industrial design automation projects, the author takes a highly practical approach to PLC design using real-world examples. The design tool, CoDeSys, also features a built in simulator/soft PLC enabling the reader to undertake exercises and test the examples.

SPS Standard: IEC 1131;
Programmierung in verteilten Automatisierungssystemen
By Peter Neumann, Eberhard E. Grötsch, Christoph Lubkoll, René Simon

Taschenbuch - 376 Seiten Edition: 2000 Auflage: 3 ISBN: 3486270052 Language: German Available at Amazon.de

Die Akzeptanz des Standards IEC 1131 für die Programmierung von industriellen Automatisierungssystemen ist eines der bedeutendsten Ereignisse seit der Erfindung der speicherprogrammierbaren Steuerung (SPS). Die babylonische Sprachenverwirrung in der industriellen Automation geht zu Ende, übrig bleiben die Sprachen des Standards. Dieses Buch erläutert die verschiedenen Programmiersprachen des Standards (AWL, KOP, FBS, AS, ST), sowohl für Anwender als auch für Hersteller von Automatisierungssystemen. Es führt sie systematisch und anhand von Beispielen ein. Doch das Buch bleibt nicht bei der Programmierung einer einzelnen SPS und nicht beim heutigen Stand der Normierung stehen: Es spannt den Bogen über die offene Kommunikation bis zur Vision einer verteilten Programmierung von eng gekoppelten heterogenen Automatisierungssystemen, für die die technischen Voraussetzungen bereits vorliegen.

IEC 61131, Wozu?;
mit CD-ROM
By Ingo Rolle

Sondereinband Erscheinungsdatum: 1998 ISBN: 3800723093 Language: German Available at Amazon.de

IEC 61131 - for what? is not yet another textbook about PLC programming languages, but it shows how this whole set of six parts of the IEC 61131 series came into existence and for what it can be used in practice. It explains as well as the technical contents and the background of this standardization.  
Part 1 of the standard defines the basic terms of the Programmable Controllers. Part 2 defines the equipment requirements and tests for the electrical and mechanical safety and the EMC. In the context of the EU regulations this part gains an increasing impact as a so called Listed Standard. Part 3 describes the programming languages. Part 4 gives guidelines for the user of programmable controllers. Part 5 defines the communications of the programmable controller with other controllers. Part 7 will define the application of Fuzzy Control in the programmable controllers.

The CD-ROM contains demo versions of Simatic Step7, Multiprog wt and Fuzzy Control.

SPS Programmierung nach IEC 61131-3 mit MULTIPROG 4.0
By Jochen Petry

684 pages ISBN: 978-300-022043-2 Language: German Available at IBP-Ingenieurbüro Petry

Dieses Fachbuch für SPS (Speicherprogrammierbare Steuerung) Programmierung ist verfasst nach dem internationalen Standard IEC 61131-3. Den überwiegenden Teil des Arbeitsbuchs nehmen Programmierbeispiele ein. Die Beispiele haben einen realistischen Bezug zur Steurungspraxis und berücksichtigen dabei einschlägige Normen und Vorschriften. Die Beispiele wurden mit der Programmiersoftware MULTIPROG von der Firma KW-Software GmbH erstellt. Diese Software beinhaltet für den Anwender eine PC simulierte Steurung.
Das Buch ist insbesondere für denjenigen geeignet, dessen Tätigkeitsbereich sich immer mehr zur softwaremäßigen Programmerstellung hin verlagert. Der SPS-Anwender such umso mehr Anregungen, Detaillösungen oder auch fertige Makros, die sich unproblematisch zu einer Gesamtlösung (Anlage) fügen lassen. Diesen Forderungen wird dieses Buch in eindrucksvoller Weise gerecht. Dabei verwendet das Buch konsequent Syntax und Semantik (Sprackstruktur) nach IEC 61131-3.

Published by ISA Distrito 4 - Amérca do Sul 568 pages ISBN: 978-85-61793-00-5 Language: Portuguese Availabe at ISA América do Sul

O principal objetivo do livro é divulgar a norma IEC 61131-3 e apresentar uma nova metodologia de como gerar projetos dentro do conceito de componentização de software, um conceito que é muito conhecido dos profissionais da área de Tecnologia de Informação, mas que é pouco praticado em automação. O propósito é disponibilizar para a comunidade de automação um material em língua portuguesa sobre todas as partes da norma IEC 61131 e que utilize uma abordagem bem prática, com boa fundamentação teórica e que tenha uma base conceitual sobre controladores programáveis e sua aplicação prática, assim como de engenharia de software voltada para automação.
