The dual-channel plug-in weighing module is
specifically designed for the Allen-Bradley 1756 ControlLogix®
Chassis
The BLH Nobel brand of Vishay Precision Group, Inc.
(NYSE:VPG), a leading producer of precision sensors and
systems, including high-quality and high-accuracy weighing and
control systems, today announced the addition of the BLH
Nobel-1756-WM to its suite. The 1756-WM is a weighing module
designed to directly plug into the Allen-Bradley 1756 ControlLogix
chassis.
Intended for inventory measurement and process control, the
1756-WM offers users simple configuration and is suitable for tank,
silo, vessel and hopper weighing in the United States and Canadian
markets.
The weighing module seamlessly integrates weighing into the
Allen-Bradley PLC by directly fitting into a single slot in the
1756 ControlLogix chassis via a screw connection plug. The weighing
module is powered from the input/output chassis backplane and needs
only the load cells for connection.
Once in place and set-up, calibration and configuration for the
1756-WM are simply achieved through the Rockwell RSLogix 5000® PLC
Development Software; no other external configuration utilities are
required. Dual independent strain gage inputs—with sense inputs for
six-wire connection—power up to eight 350-ohm load cells with up to
four parallel 350-ohm load cells per channel.
With a wide 32°F to 140°F operating temperature range, the 1756
weighing module’s six-wire system supports more exact measurement
than dated, four-wire systems. Additionally, clear and
highly-accurate data is ensured by one-millisecond strain gage
inputs, as well as sophisticated digital filters that produce
cogent and effective signals from the load cells.
The 1756 weighing module is intended for industrial process
applications in the food and beverage industry as well as
pharmaceuticals. It is a significant product for a variety of OEMs
and system integrators operating with the Allen-Bradley 1756
ControlLogix chassis.
