Description

The Allen-Bradley 1746-WS is a high-precision weigh scale module designed for the SLC 500 controller platform. It serves as a direct interface between the PLC and industrial load cells, eliminating the need for external weight transmitters. This module is ideal for industrial weighing applications such as tank/vessel weighing, hopper scales, and platform scales where high accuracy and reliability are required.

Features

Supports up to eight (8) full Wheatstone bridge, strain gauge load sensors on a single vessel.
Provides a stable 5V DC excitation voltage to the load cells.
Processes millivolt signals into accurate weight data for the SLC processor.
Conversion rate of 20 updates per second for responsive weight monitoring.
Includes two standard digital TTL level outputs for process control.
Integrated common-mode rejection of 110 dB (at or below 60 Hz).

Applications

Tank and vessel level monitoring.
Hopper and silo weighing systems.
Industrial platform scales.
Batching and blending process control.

Installation Guidelines

Ensure the SLC 500 rack power is disconnected before installing or removing the module.
Mount the module in a standard SLC 500 I/O chassis slot.
Use shielded twisted-pair cabling for load cell connections to minimize EMI interference.
Maintain proper grounding practices for the chassis to ensure signal integrity.
Verify that the load cell impedance matches the 350 Ohm specification for optimal performance.
Ensure adequate ventilation within the enclosure to maintain operating temperature limits.

FAQ

What is the primary function of the 1746-WS module?

The 1746-WS is designed to interface directly with strain gauge load cells, converting raw millivolt signals into digital weight data for processing by an Allen-Bradley SLC 500 controller.

How many load cells can this module support?

The module is capable of supporting up to eight (8) full Wheatstone bridge, 350 Ohm load sensors on a single vessel.

Does this module require external transmitters?

No, the 1746-WS acts as a direct interface, which eliminates the need for additional external weight transmitters in the signal path.
