I'm interested in learning more about industrial control using PLC's. My experience is with computer-based control and data acquisition for laboratories, but I'm interested in branching out to PLCs and industrial applications. Specifically, I would like to learn about some of the common brands such as A-B and the type of programming involved.

Can anyone recommned a good book on the fundementals of PLCs? Preferably one that is under $100. Thanks.
