• Ladder Logic (LD): Relay-logic-like, widely used for discrete control.
• Function Block Diagram (FBD): Graphical blocks for functions and control algorithms.
• Structured Text (ST): High-level, Pascal-like language for complex algorithms.
• Instruction List (IL) / Sequential Function Chart (SFC): legacy or specialized uses.

Buy a cheap older physical copy. Learn the scan cycle. Memorize the difference between retentive and non-retentive timers. Once you do that, you will realize Webb gave you the map. The specific brand of PLC you use at work will just be the terrain. Buy a cheap older physical copy

If you find a PDF labeled "upd," ensure it has a publication date post-2003 to include these critical updates. The 5th edition (published by Pearson) is currently the most comprehensive "updated" version. Ladder Logic (LD): Relay-logic-like
