Check out the following book:
"Programmable Logic Controllers - Programming Methods and Applications" ISBN 0-13-060718-5
I would highly recommend this book for a beginner as it covers the basics of ladder logic programming. In addition the book covers basic sensor and transducer operation including PID loops.
The book is pricey @ $100
Keyence offers a free beginners guide ( see link) but you have to register and it takes awhile form them to send it out
There are many cheap but less well organized resources available for free on other sites. Many manyfacturers are now beginning to market low cost micro PLC's. You can always glean information from manuals and app notes available from their web sites.
Some PLC manufacturers:
Keyence
Unitronics
GE Fanuc
Omron
PLC Direct

you are able to continually attempt with an same percentmanufactures, i.e Siemens, Rockwell Automation, Mitsubishi, and so on. They continually have some guide that comprehends the basics of percentprograming, as you would comprehend virtually all percentis in accordance to Boolean Algebra or Ladder Diagrams.
