More Good Information
We have free design guides. There were produced by Hydraulics and Pneumatics too. The design guide is a collection of articles that I have written for Hydraulics and Pneumatics. The design guides are oriented more towards hydraulic servo control so they compliment Bud's ebooks. The design guide articles are not that deep or that long since they were originally magazine articles.
Most here will not design any hydraulic circuits but as a PLC programmer it is good to know enough so you can tell whether the people doing the hydraulic design have at least cover the basics. With a little knowledge you should be able to avoid disasters like this

Notice that the control people have gone over budget and want more money to try tweaking the controller. They don't realize that the system will never work right because they don't have an accumulator. In other words, every one is being screwed because the hydraulic design is flawed.
As you know, programming PLC requires MUCH knowledge more than just entering ladder. You must understand how the system works and often you must have an understanding far greater than the people that designed the machinery or hydraulics.

There are some adds, of course.
They don't flash though.
