HM1525 Weigh Scale Module Getting This chapter can help you to get started using the Helm Weigh Scale Started module. The procedures included here assume that you have a basic understanding of PLC products. You should understand electronic process control and be able to interpret the ladder logic instructions required to generate the electronic signals that control your application.
Page 26
HM1525 Weigh Scale Module System The Weigh Scale module communicates to the processor through the parallel backplane interface and receives +5Vdc and +24Vdc power from the power supply through the backplane. Operation No external power supply is required. The MicroLogix and CompactLogix platforms can support up to 8 I/O modules.
HM1525 Weigh Scale Module Setup Procedure A complete listing of a sample ladder logic program is included at the back of this manual. Examples shown here are for reference. All values are 0 (default) on initial start-up. This means that all alarms are disabled.
