Programmable Logic Controllers And Applications for Marine Engineers and ETOs

Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are used in a variety of applications in the marine industry, including propulsion systems, safety systems, data acquisition and motor starters. Marine engineers and ETOs must have a good understanding of these systems in order to maintain them in a safe and operational condition and to conduct efficient troubleshooting.

This book aids understanding of onboard applications and development of a systematic approach in the many troubleshooting cases likely to be encountered.

This publication is appropriate for:

• Management level marine engineers, operational level marine engineers, ETOs and electricians
• engineering cadets
• electrical engineering cadets
• anyone who is starting to work with PLC-based applications.
