HI1746-WS - Weight Scale Module for Allen-Bradley SLC 500 Series

HI1746-WS - Weight Scale Module for Allen-Bradley SLC 500 Series

The HI 1746-WS Weigh Scale Module is a self-contained microprocessor-based I/O module with control inputs and outputs. The HI 1746-WS is designed to be easily plugged into the back plane of an Allen-Bradley SLC 5/02, 5/03, 5/04, or 5/05 programmable controller. The HI 1746-WS supports a wide variety of process weighing applications such as batching/blending, filling/dispensing, check weighing, force measurement, level by weight, and weight rate monitoring.

Notice of Non RoHS Compliant Construction

The module can control two (2) relays via two (2) TTL level outputs and transmits data via the backplane to the SLC. A 20 bit A-D converter with 980,000 counts of display resolution gives the instrument the ability to tolerate large “dead” loads, oversizing of load cells/sensors, and provide accurate weight measurement and control.

To calibrate the module, simply push the front panel “Button” to effect a C2 calibration (electronic), or you can implement a C2, “Hard” (traditional with test weights) or “Soft (manual load cell data) through the processor.

The HI 1746-WS is IT-enabled, which means the module has a built-in IT excitation monitor to detect load cell wiring problems, and with the addition of the optional HI 6020IT or HI 6010IT Junction Box the user can use the other IT functions for fault isolation and troubleshooting of the weighing system. The optional Hardy HI WS100 configuration software makes for easy system setup.

The Hardy Process Toolbox is a set of productivity tools that support industrial weighing functions. Each tool saves time, increases accuracy, improves efficiency, or reduces risk in process weighing applications, including WAVERSAVER® to eliminate vibration, C2® electronic calibration, and Integrated Technician® to name just a few.

The HI 1746-WS features the following Toolbox technologies:

WAVERSAVER® Vibration Eliminator

Hardy's WAVERSAVER core technology eliminates the effects that surrounding vibration has on the scale weight signal, providing only true data for fast, accurate weight reading.

C2® (or eCAL) Electronic Calibration

The Hardy C2®  (or eCAL as it is known in China) core feature provides quick and easy electronic calibration of a weighing system without the need for heavy test weights.

INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN® Operator Diagnostics

Hardy's INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN (IT) core feature helps you troubleshoot your weighing system and diagnose problems from the front of the instrument or via the PLC. These tests display system weights, voltages, and pass/fail displays to help isolate a problem to the instrument, cabling, or sensors, helping to reduce maintenance costs.
