Single Channel ControlLogix PLC Plug-in Weigh Module

Hardy’s HI 1756-WS is a single slot, single scale, weigh scale module that mounts in an Allen-Bradley ControlLogix® local or remote Chassis. It reads weight and diagnostic data from strain gauge load sensors or load cells and communicates this data over the I/O chassis Backplane to the ControlLogix Processor. The HI 1756-WS module reduces installation costs, since no external stand-alone scale instrument with a wired communications link to the PLC is needed.

FEATURES

Two or three bi-color LEDs on the module’s front panel report functional characteristics. Being a true ControlLogix module the HI 1756-WS supports removal and insertion under power

C2® ELECTRONIC CALIBRATION

C2 enables electronic calibration of the weigh system without test weights. This saves system start-up costs and aggravation. Of course, even if C2 certified load sensors are not used, the system can still be calibrated the slow, traditional way using certified test weights.

WAVERSAVER®

WAVERSAVER eliminates the effects of unwanted plant vibration on or around the scale by permitting the weigh module to “see” through the unwanted vibration signals - as low as 0.25Hz - while yielding a stable actual reading.

INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN®

INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN, used in conjunction with an IT Junction Box, provides built-in system diagnostics that enable you to troubleshoot and diagnose your weighing system. You can read individual load sensor voltages and weights, make comparisons, and isolate individual system components for quick and easy troubleshooting.

THE BUTTON®

With one push of a button the weigh scale module automatically calibrates the C2 certified weighing system, making it ready for use. This saves system start-up time costs and aggravations.

This weight controller / weight indicator acts as a front end to a PLC, PC or DCS system for most weighing applications, or as a stand-alone for simple control or weight monitoring.

Modularity – Configure the HI 4050 weight controller to suit your applications:

• Specify it with or without a display
• Choose either AC or DC power
• Add some Digital I/O
• Select a communication network: Analog, DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, Allen-Bradley Remote I/O, Profibus, or Modbus TCP/IP
• Choose between a panel/remote mount and a DIN rail mount. With a display, you choose either to panel mount the entire assembly, or to mount the controller housing assembly remotely.

Ease of Installation – Installation is easy, with no special tools or expertise required. Just drill five to nine standard holes in your panel, and attach the front panel keyboard display. There is no rectangular cutout required. The controller housing can be attached to the rear of the panel or remotely up to 100 feet away to a DIN rail. Need to replace an HI 2151/30WC or HI 2110WI? Just drill four holes and plug the HI 4050 controller in.

Small Footprint – The HI 4050 Series controller is designed to optimize panel space and depth is only 76.2 mm (3 in).

Ease of Set-up – By using its embedded web server, you can access the weight controller remotely to control information, instrument parameters and diagnose problems. Front panel keys and graphic display with simple menus provide quick easy setup with process weight and parameter display.

Accessibility – The embedded EtherNet communications port in the HI 4050 weight controller enables users to easily share data across a production facility, eliminating the time and costs associated with new network wiring.

The Hardy Instruments HI 3030 Weight Controller is a flexible, world-class weight controller that can monitor and control up to four scales simultaneously.

The Multi-scale weight controller can act as a front end to a PLC, PC or DCS system for applications such as level, batching, filling, dispensing, and check weighing, or as a stand alone for simple control or weight monitoring.

As a bridge to a PLC, its four scales can share one network connection, whether it’s DeviceNet, ControlNet, Ethernet/IP, Allen-Bradley Remote I/O, or Profibus. You can also link additional HI 3030s with their multiple scales and share the same network connection. Just like the other Series 3000 products, you can configure or monitor the HI 3030 operating using your Palm OS PDA, web browser, or network interface.

Hardy Instruments Filler/Dispenser Controller Model HI 3010 is designed to fit nearly any filling, dispensing, or Intermediate Bulk Container Application.

The HI 3010 handles all materials from all types of feeding mechanisms (gates, feeders, or valves) to all types of destination (packages, containers, vessels, or trucks).

Whether filling or dispensing solids, liquid or gases, the Hardy Instruments Filler/Dispenser automates your entire process. The HI 3010 achieves accurate and repeatable results, not only through the use of our core weight control technologies, but also because it controls, monitors, and tunes the entire filling or dispensing operation.

As a stand-alone controller, it offers fast and slow speeds with auto self-adjusting preacts for fast precise process control. Built-in totalizers keep you up to date as to the number of cycles and amount of material in the cycle, as well as history totals for each of the twelve internally stored material configurations. Output alarms warn you of overfills, feed timeouts, out of tolerance, not OK to fill, too many jogs, if the discharge gate is not responding, and even when to change an intermediate bulk container.
