HI 1756-WS WEIGH SCALE MODULE

1-2

Chapter 4 - Provides hardware configuration instruc-
tions, including dip switch and jumper settings.

Chapter 5 - Provides firmware/software setup proce-
dures needed to operate and calibrate the instrument.

Chapter 6 - Provides calibration instructions.

Chapter 7 - Provides operating procedures.

Chapter 8 - Provides troubleshooting procedures.

Description

Both the HI 1756-WS and HI 1756-2WS Weigh Scale 
Modules are self-contained, microprocessor-based 
ControlLogix I/O modules with control inputs and 
outputs that plug into the backplane of an Allen-Brad-

ley ControLogix

®

 programmable controller and/or 

Remote Rack. The remote rack module connects to 
the local chassis via a ControlNet link. 

NOTE:

The Allen-Bradley Control/Logix

®

manuals contain 

useful information about their products that is not 
provided in this manual. This manual assumes that 
users have a basic understanding of process control 
and can interpret ladder logic instructions as needed 
to generate the electronic signals that control their 
application(s). 

The HI 1756-WS Weigh Scale Module Series A is 
configured for single-channel operation while the HI 
1756-2WS Weigh Scale Module Series A is config-
ured for dual-channel operation. Both modules can be 
used for a wide variety of process weighing applica-
tions such as batching, blending, filling/dispensing, 
check weighing, force measurement, level by weight 
and weight rate monitoring. 

The analog-to-digital converter in the weigh module 
controller updates fifty times per second and is capa-
ble of 8,388,608 counts of display resolution. This is 
enough to provide accurate weight measurement and 
control and to tolerate large “dead” loads or over siz-
ing of load cells/sensors. To calibrate the module you 
can simply push “The Button” to effect a C2 elec-
tronic calibration. C2, Hard (Traditional calibration 
with weights) is also available for those not using 
Hardy Instruments C2 certified load sensors.
