ControlLogix - HI 1756-FC - Weigh Feeder Control Module Brochure

Features & AdvantagesDirect Backplane to the ControlLogix® PLC:• Reduce installation time and system costs with no need for external wiring Automatic Closed Loop Control:• Continuously adjusts feeder to deliver desired feed rateRockwell ControlLogix Add-On Profile (AOP):• Quick and eady configuration for your application through PLC softwre on a PCAutomatic Refill:• Starts and stops refilling without interrupting the feeding of materialUsed in new applications, or to retrofit volumetric feeders or replace outdated controllers in gravimetric systems, the singlescale HI 1756-FC weigh feedercontrol module mounts directly into your Allen-Bradley® ControlLogix® chassis. By using the PLC rack I/O, it can control many feeding devices, such as auger, vibratory and belt-based feeders, as well as your proprietary designs.FEATURESTwo bi-color LEDs on the front panel of the module report functional characteristics. Beinga true ControlLogix module, the HI 1756-FC supports removal and insertion under power.MULTIPLE FEEDER CONTROLThe HI 1756-FC is a powerful building block when it comes to multiple feeder systems. It can be a slave to other process inputs through the PLC processor.WORRY-FREE OPERATIONThe HI 1756-FC feeder control module will watch your process and notify you of problems. Prompts on your system’s HMI display and PLC alarm relay outputs occur with tolerance errors and other failures. By entering specific control parameters, you decide at which levels to alarm or shut down the application. www.hardysolutions.com • 800-821-5831Weigh Feeder Control ModuleModel HI 1756-FCAUTOMATIC WEIGHT AND RATE CALIBRATIONA five-point auto rate calibration automatically allows the module to calibrate itself to the characteristics of the feeder and the material being fed. This allows for a higher feed accuracy over a broader range of feed rates.C2® ELECTRONIC CALIBRATIONC2 enables electronic calibration of the weigh system without test weights. This saves you 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 ignores vibration and mechanical noise in feeders and the plant environment 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.ApplicationsPROCESS WEIGHING• Gravimetric Feeding• Continuous and Batch Rate ControlAll information within is subject to change without notice.

The RTA is designed for standard DIN mounting rails or standoffs. With an HI 1756-RTA configuration, the weigh scale modules can be replaced without disturbing the wiring.• Cable (-C6)Hardy provides an optional 6-foot cable assembly from the weigh scale module to the remote termination assembly. • Options OrderingOptions can be ordered at the same time the module is ordered by adding the dash designators to the end of the module number.
