CHAPTER 1 setup, configuration, operation, communication, maintenance, and troubleshooting procedures for the Hardy HI 1769-WS & HI 1769-2WS Compact and Micro Logix I/O Weigh Scale Modules that mount on ® the Allen-Bradley CompactLogix™ and MicroLogix™...
Customer Support Department at Hardy Pro- cess Solutions Inc. Description The HI 1769-WS & HI 1769-2WS Weigh Scale Mod- ules are self-contained, microprocessor-based Con- trolLogix I/O modules with control inputs and outputs, that is designed to be easily plugged into an...
Typically, mechanical noise (from machinery in a plant environment) is present in forces larger than the weight forces trying to be detected by the module. The HI 1769-WS & HI 1769-2WS is fitted with ® WAVERSAVER technology which eliminates the effects of vibratory forces present in all industrial weight control and measurement applications.
HI 1769-WS/HI 1769-2WS WEIGH SCALE MODULE detects the quantity of load sensors in the system. All calibrations can be performed via ladder logic. ® ™ is a system diagnostics NTEGRATED ECHNICIAN utility. For full functionality the weigh system should include an HI 215IT series junction box. Full IT func- tionality allows the operator to rapidly troubleshoot a weighing system.
Chapter 1 - Overview Disconnects the controller and engages an inter- nal reference signal to see if the problem is within the instrument. Disconnects the load sensors and engages an internal (in the junction box) reference signal to see if the cable between the instrument and the Junction Box is causing the problem.

A Brief Description of Chapter 5 pertains to the calibration procedures for Chapter 5 the HI 1769-WS and HI 1769-2WS Weigh Scale Modules. Alternatives to any procedures either implied or explicitly contained in this chapter are not recommended. In order for the Weigh Module to work properly, it must be calibrated prior to operation.
HI 1769-WS/HI-1769-2WS WEIGH SCALE MODULE A load cell must be mounted in such a way that 100% of the load (Vessel w/ Contents) is vertically passed through a load cell. (See Fig. 5-1) Check to see that nothing is binding the load cell.
Page 63
Chapter 5 - Calibration The Weigh Module is designed to sup- ply 5 VDC excitation to as many as four (4) 350 Ohm load cells/points. The expected output from each load cell/point depends on the mV/V rating of the load cell/point and the weight. For example, a 2mV/V load cell/point will respond with a maximum of 10 mVDC at full weight capacity of the...
HI 1769-WS/HI-1769-2WS WEIGH SCALE MODULE FIG. 5-2 MILLIVOLTS/WEIGHT SCALE Based on the example, the operating range for this scale is 5-10 mVDC with a 500 pound weight range. Understand that after zeroing the instrument, the 0 reading refers to the zero reference point and not absolute 0 mVDC or absolute 0 weight.

CHAPTER 6 - Troubleshooting Load Sharing and See Figure 6-2 Load Sensor Checkout NOTE: On balancing load cells, the overall objective is to insure each load cell sees a positive millivolt reading. When weight is evenly applied, all load cells signals should increase the same amount.

CHAPTER 6 - Troubleshooting Mechanical Stability See Figure 6-5 and Configuration Settings Mechanical Stability Vessel - When inpspecting a vessel keep in mind, the Center of Gravity (COG) should be low and centered equally over all the load cells. Insure the load is directly over or under the load point to avoid side-loadin. Make sure there isn’t any side loading from piping or external forces.
