PLC for a newbie

How difficult it would be to start programming PLC's from other brands like Fanuc, Allen - Bradley or any other?

Not that bad.... I am not good (by my standards) at any, but I can program many (Siemens S5-S7, Allen Bradley 500-5000, Mitsubishi, Automation Direct and others) so can many others here, for me its fun to learn more then just one...

The basics of all PLC's are the same, you have input condition, you look at them and decide your logic then you have output condition, the way some do it are a little better then others, but they all can do just about the same thing, you just need to figure out how that brand or model does it

That's the fun part and the hardest.
