Michael and Farouk,
Yea, the book is great and I will work through all the functions in CoDeSys. As have been in the electrical industry for 10+ years, I didn't realize PLC programming was this easy, can't believe I have just been sitting on the sidelines passing this stuff on to the guys that consider themselves dedicated plc programmers.
Btw: how do I get on the mailing list? I would definitely like to get your next release for sure.
Thanks,
Joe

Dedication
To Dad. Although it has been 20 years since he passed on, he is the one who had in a way help me realize life is short and we all have to live to the fullest doing everything righteously.
To Mum. Who always looks after others before herself. We are all greatly indebted to you. Because of you I am going all out helping others so the world will help me.
Introduction
Hello, my fellow programmer geniuses! Oh wait a sec, you aren’t there yet. We all are. The whole thing about knowledge and the pursuit of excellence in it is to keep doing the things in this book and subsequent series. You'll get there eventually. Soon you'll know so much more than your competitors, you’ll be a genius in no time.
I, in fact, we are so excited you have decided to join us on this journey! Right now, as we put these words in, we know something you don’t know. We know your career is about to change positively if you go all-in on your programming venture.
In this book, we will break down the flow on how to do programming HMI-PLC. It is different from other styles and methods of programming devices or systems. This book is deliberately made short so readers will finish reading it, get the value and start applying rather than stop halfway through or put it aside till it rots in your pc, phone or cabinet. Once you move further you'll develop the necessary momentum. It’s not like putting one percent a day, then leaving it the next day to stack. No the more you do, the more you’re going to get because suddenly the synergy comes into play. We all have lots of distractions from dozens of notification from apps on our devices and so forth. So we have to.... no we want to make this book as concise as possible and make it as practical as it can be. If you are a beginner or higher in this, then this book and the series following, will help equip you with an understanding of where to start, how to start, how to end it strong from day to day work and developing your strategy. Just passively reading this book will not make you a master. I know it sounds cliché but think about it. And who is a master? He, who is competent without having to think about it anymore, it is like trying to lace your shoe, earlier in your life you probably, well we are not judging, probably had your tongue sticking out when trying to lace your shoe. But after thousands of times, you became a master. It does not come from reading one or two books, but, as we will explain later, it comes with practice, the right tools and software, and proper on-going education, passion and drive.
In later chapters we will show you how to close the loop of programming, simulation and visualization with HMI and PLC. We have included links to our international best selling and future book releases too. Learn the steps discussed here and apply it in your career or work. We wish you all the best!
About The Authors
Michael Blake and Farouk Idris have been indulging themselves in industrial automation since 1999. Looking back to the first time they visited a friend in Automation Company, they felt astonished by the feeling the pneumatic echo in the workshop gave them, and seeing all the parts, ac motors, servos, pneumatic cylinders working harmoniously together to achieve a specific task. Before that time, the two had already finished their Diploma in Electrical/Electronic Engineering. They had absolutely no prior experience, only passion and a desire to venture into the tech world. The idea of developing, controlling and viewing mass metal parts moving, as a self-acting system
gives them absolute pleasure. They fell in love with automation.
A lot of projects with their involvement included the use of PLCs/HMIs. The HMI control systems were from $10,000 USD to about $2,000,000 USD, from factory automation to the plant they would be installed at. They developed competency in programming in numerous PLC/HMI brands like Hakko, Panasonic, Omron, Allen Bradley, Siemens, Idec, Mitsubishi and many more.
From designing electrical circuits in AutoCAD, to helping out their mechanical teammates in converting 2D parts drawing to 3D using SOLIDWORKS. The two authors picked up many skills along the way, like assembly skills, fabrication skills, wire harness skills, PCB fabrication skills, all in the realm of smart automation.
Both authors have developed many machines and solutions in South-East Asia that are being shipped to the rest of the world. To this day, many, many solutions are still in operation. The journey of Michael Blake and Farouk Idris has not been easy and they experienced many ups and downs. Both of them did not give up after years of struggling through their mistakes and missteps. They found a passion - that is teaching their skills, strategy and know-how to everyone.
The passion to teach others who have just developed a liking for automation and PLC programming but have absolutely no prior experience or relevant education gives them a sense of purpose. They understood whatever experience they had under their belt been not only for them, it is to share to the rest of the world so others have a cleaner start and do not make the mistake they made themselves. Michael Blake and Farouk Idris are changing life for early school leavers, students, technicians, electrical engineers, electronic engineers, mechanical engineers, managers, and freelancers to program PLC so they will have an edge in the market fast. Like all things, a lot of success in automation is achieved by learning from previous mistakes and improving in order to jump ahead in the marketplace.

What is a PLC?
A Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is a type of industrial computer that is used in control automation or manufacturing processes such as an assembly production environment or in any area that requires high durability, stability and reliability. With an ease of programming using simple languages like instruction list (IL) and ladder diagram (LD). It creates durability, stability, and reliability.
Figure 1 (A few brand of PLC)
Note: Each PLC shown in the pictures above are designed with the ability to be programmed. Some are with instruction list (IL) and ladder (LD) only, and some are with all languages mentioned in IEC 61131-3 standard.
What is HMI?
In the past, pushbuttons, pilot lights and numeric display are some of the device will be used to represent user interface but with the current advancement of electronics and software development drove human invention to Human-Machine Interface (HMI). Essentially HMI becomes the middle device between a man and a machine. Most will agree that many can find HMI in all industries not restricted to industrial only. Now we can link many commercial machines like coffee maker using HMI to interact with user.
Figure 2 (HMI Screen Examples)
There are many names that HMI carries. For the Japanese brand Mitsubishi it is referred as Graphical Operator Terminals (GOT). Some would refer HMI as Man Machine Interface (MMI), Operator Interface Terminal (OIT), Local Operator Interface (LOI), Operator Terminal (OT), Touch Panel (TP), Touch Screen (TS) and Graphical User Interface (GUI). These are some of the calling preferences HMI has in a certain company in its own
