" I am trying to learn to communicate with a PLC using VB6. I've read "Serial Port Complete", "The Visual Basic Programmers Guide to Serial Communications" and Modicon's online documentation of the Modbus protocol. I've frequented PLC chat rooms and message boards and consulted an (A well known HMI Package) system integrator. I've spoke with our network engineer, our electrical engineers and consulted AB about training. I downloaded a demo of a third party driver and purchased their guide book. I was about to give up and use (A well known HMI Package) for my project (Blaaaa) until I found your book. I'd like to say that you have done a most excellent job! Nowhere until now have I found such careful explanations and clear examples. I've just started chapter 5 on the AB protocol and if it's as good as chapters one through four I'm sure most of the mystery will be gone." M.L. Alabama USA
"Great Book! Thanks for taking the time to produce Home Automation Basics. Although I develop Visual Basic applications for manufacturing, I feel that your book will be a great useful reference." SM--- US Dept. of the Treasury
