Hardy Instruments Introduces A Dual Scale CompactLogix® Weigh Scale Module

Hardy Instruments' Dual Scale CompactLogix® Weigh Scale Module is a PLC style module for use with Allen-Bradley® MicroLogix 1500 and CompactLogix controllers.

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) December 23, 2004 -- Hardy Instruments a leader in the process weighing industry, today announced the addition of a dual scale CompactLogix Weigh Scale module. The HI 1769-2WS is a dual scale PLC style weigh scale module optimized for use with Allen-Bradley® MicroLogix 1500 and CompactLogix controllers. It reads and conditions weight and diagnostic data supplied by strain gauge load sensors or load cells of two independent scales. It then communicates this data over an integrated back plane to the CompactLogix® or MicroLogix 1500 processor. The HI 1769-2WS module reduces installation costs, as the system needs no external stand-alone scale instrument with a wired communications link to the PLC. It also saves space since two modules are integrated into a single scale package.

The weighing module includes Hardy Instruments core technologies:

·    WAVERSAVER®, eliminates the effects of vibration providing a stable weight display.

·    C2®, provides electronic calibration without the need for test weights.

·    INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN (IT) system diagnostics and troubleshooting techniques.
