Chapter 4 – Setup and Operation
Chapter 4 covers the firmware and software settings used to prepare the module controller for calibration and
operation. The Setup procedures require Allen Bradley's RS Logix 5000, Allen-Bradley RSLinx™ or RSLinx™ Lite.
Power Check
To make or change settings, there must be power to both the PLC and the module. Verify that the LED's are lit for
normal operation. (See Figure Below)
Setting Up Communications between the PLC and HI 1734-WS
Follow these steps to set up communication between the ControlLogix PLC and the Weigh Scale Module. The steps
require that you have a new or open RS Logix® 5000 project. For instructions, see your RS LOGIX 5000 manual.
When not plugged directly into certain compatible controllers, the HI 1734 WS point I/O module requires a
communications adapter module. For this setup example/instructions, use the A-B 1734-AENT module.
In the program Controller Organizer, find the I/O Configuration Section.
