HI 1769-FC Datasheet

Features Direct Backplane to the Allen-Bradley® CompactLogix™ and MicroLogix™ 1500 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 CompactLogix and MicroLogix 1500 Add-On Profile (AOP):• Quick and eady configuration for your application through PLC software on a PCAutomatic Refill:• Starts and stops refilling without interrupting the feeding of materialThe HI 1769-FC Feeder Controller module is a self-contained, microprocessor-based CompactLogix™ and MicroLogix™ 1500 I/O solution that automatically calculates and adjusts tuning parameters typically required to maintain desired flow rates in a dispensing or filling system. It is used in a variety of material-flow applications, such as auger, belt, and vibration-based feeders. It can be operated in batch, automatic, or manual mode. Algorithms contained in the HI 1769-FC compare user defined flow rates to the actual flow rates by continuously monitoring changes in the system weight over short intervals of time; the 1769-FC then calculates the adjustments necessary to achieve the user defined rate and instructs the PLC to adjust the speed of the feeding or dispensing device. The 1769-FC updates 100 times per second and is capable of 8,388,608 counts of resolution, enabling the instrument to precisely determine target flow rates and tolerate large “dead” loads in a weigh system. WORRY-FREE OPERATIONThe HI 1769-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 1769-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.
