Any suggestions on PLC books or training that I can purchase that can help me understand PLC's better?

Here is a free site for just that. There are lots of other web based free tutorial sites out there, I used to have about a half dozen other good links, but not on this machine. http://www.mrplc.com/kb/. Just google PLC tutorials.

Look at American Technical Publishers they have good PLC books.
I like Allen Bradley Micro Mentor, its $20 and based on the Micrologic PLC. You can buy a micrologix starter kit, software and cable for about $150. The only way to learn to program is to get in front of a PLC. A book won't do it.
Classes from AB are very expensive but worth while.
