HI 1756-2WS ControlLogix Weigh Scale Module

 
Dual Scale ControlLogix Weigh Scale Module


Hardy Instruments’ HI 1756-2WS is a single slot, dual scale, weigh scale module that mounts in an Allen-Bradley ControlLogix® local or remote Chassis. It reads weight and diagnostic data from two seperate sets of strain gauge load sensors or load cells and communicates this data over the I/O chassis Backplane to the ControlLogix® Processor. The HI 1756-2WS module reduces installation costs, since no external stand-alone scale instrument with a wired communications link to the PLC is needed.

The HI 1756-2WS conditions and digitizes the weight signal fifty times per second with over eight million counts of resolution over a differential signal range of -2.5 to 17.5mV. It then transmits the selectable Gross, Net and/or Rate-of-Change data to the processor. This high resolution allows the module to tolerate large dead loads and over sizing of the load sensors while retaining a high level of usable resolution.

The module supplies 5 volts of DC excitation to drive up to four 350 ohm load sensors or load cells associated with a single scale (four additional for a second scale). It will support additional load cells with an external power supply.

The HI 1756-WS supports the use of the producer/consumer technology in the ControlLogix® system to transmit data. This type of communications is an intelligent data exchange in the system where the module produces data without having to be polled.

Quick Setup of PLC5 Ethernet Connection

General

These are some notes on how to quickly setup a simple network for use with a PLC-5 Ethernet
processor. Setup of a SLC5/05 is similar, except that a transceiver is not required.

The following hardware/software was used:

Allen-Bradley PLC5-40E

CentreCOM 210TS 10 Transceiver

Allen-Bradley RSLinx (Lite or better), Version 2.30.01

Allen-Bradley RSLogix5, Version 5.00.01

Microsoft Excel 2000

Step 1 - Physically Connect PLC5 to Network

The first step is to physically connect the PLC5 to your network. On the PLC5-40/E, the ethernet port is channel 2 and is also referred to as the AUI port. It is a 15-pin, female D-shell connection. My existing network is a 10 MPS thin net setup with several hubs connecting to a router. To go from the 15-pin connection on the PLC to the RJ-45 modular connection on the hub, a twisted pair transceiver (also called a MAU, medium access unit) is required. I used a CetreCOM 210TS that I bought for $10 on the internet. This plugs into the port on the PLC and a standard modular CAT 5 cable was used to connect this to the hub.

Step 2 - Setup PLC's Communications Parameters with RSLogix5

Start up RSLogix and connect to the processor using the DH+ and DH485 (serial port) connection. Double click on "Channel Configuration" under "Controller". Click on the "Channel 2" tab to reveal the parameters for the ethernet port. For a simple network (no subnets), the only parameters that are important are the IP address and the link ID number. Make sure that the "BOOTP Enabled" check box is not checked and enter the desired IP address. Enter an unused link ID number. The rest of the parameters can be left at their default values.

Step 3 - Verify the Physical Connection

This is an optional step to verify the physical link. You can skip this step if you're confident of your connection. From a computer on the same network as the PLC, ping the PLC's address. If everything is hooked up right, you will get an answer for each ping. You can use the DOS ping.exe program found in the "windows" directory or download a Windows-based ping program such as Alchemy Lab's Ping 1.0.

Step 4 - Setup RSLinx

Start up RSLinx (Lite or higher) and and go to Communications --> Configure Drivers. Then under the "available Drivers" list, select "Ethernet devices" and click on "AddNew". I usually use the default name. When the "Station mapping" window pops up, in the "Station" field, enter the same ID number you entered in RSLogix5. In the Host Name field, enter the same IP address as you entered in RSLogix5. Then hit the "Apply" button and you should be good to go.

Step 5 - Test the Connection

To test the connection, in RSLinx, go to Communications-->RSWho. Double click the ethernet connection and your PLC should show up. To go online, in RSLogix , go to Comms-->Who Active Go Online and select the PLC under the ethernet connection. Programming can be done using RSLinx Lite or better.

RSLogix 5000 - Configuration and Programing for the Logix5000 family of controller

With the RSLogix 5000 Logix programming software package, you need only one
programming software for sequential, process, drive, and motion control
programming. The RSLogix 5000 software package provides you both symbolic
programming with structures and arrays for increased productivity, and an
instruction set that serves all of these types of applications.
RSLogix 5000 is designed to work with Rockwell Automation's Logix Platforms
and the Logix5000 family of controllers. RSLogix 5000 functionality includes:


ease of configuration, including a graphical controller organizer, I/O
configuration dialogs, a motion configuration tool, and point-and-click
methods of configuration


sophisticated data handling, using both arrays and user-defined structures, to
provide the flexibility necessary for the application rather than forcing it to fit
the particular memory structure as defined by the controller’s data table
memory


easy-to-use I/O addressing methods

Software Product Compatible Versions:
RSLinx 2.51.00 or higher
Any RSLogix 5000 version from Version 12 through 16


Installation Procedure
Product Installation:
Begin the installation of the product by running the setup.exe file
located at the root of the CD media. This will launch a CD browser that
provides a means to install the RSLogix Emulate 5000 product, and
also displays pertinent product information.

Please use the "Add/Remove Programs" applet in control panel to remove
previous versions of SoftLogix5800. While performing an install or uninstall,
please note any messages that recommend a system reboot. Failure to follow
the reboot instructions can render your installation inoperable.

If you want to reinstall the same vesion as is currently installed, please use the
"Add/Remove Programs" applet in control panel to remove the existing version of
RSLogix Emulate 5000. While performing an install or uninstall, please note any
messages that recommend a system reboot. Failure to follow the reboot instructions
can render your installation inoperable.

Please refer to the RSLogix Emulate 5000 Getting Results Guide for details on
installing this product. This document can be viewed with the Adobe Acrobat
Reader by opening the file LGEM5K-GR016A-EN-P.pdf located at
\Documentation on the RSLogix Emulate 5000 CD.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
RSLogix Emulate 5000 cannot be installed on any machine that already has
SoftLogix5800 installed on it.

RSLinx Classic should be installed before installing the RSLogix Emulate 5000
product.

If RSLinx Classic is installed after RSLogix Emulate 5000, please run the
SIRegEDS.exe program that can be found in the RSEMU5000 directory on the
installation CD. After the products are installed, you must first add the
Virtual Backplane driver in RSLinx Classic in order to connect to the
SoftLogix engine.

Even if you plan to remotely program the controller over a ControlNet or
Ethernet link, you must add the Virtual Backplane driver via RSLinx Classic
software. If you do not, persistent storage will not function and when you
reboot the computer, the controller will come up with cleared memory (the
program will not get re-loaded).

Data Execution Prevention (a feature of Microsoft Windows also known as DEP) is
not supported by RSLogix Emulate 5000. If your computer's CPU supports DEP, we
advise using DEP for only essential Windows programs and services. (This is the
default setting for Windows XP; for Windows Server 2003, DEP is on by default
for all programs and services.) If DEP is turned on for RSLogix Emulate 5000,
you may experience unexpected results. See your Windows documentation for
information regarding DEP.

Jump to Subroutine (JSR) instructions do execute in the emulator. However,
the instruction passes parameters to subroutines in reverse order from the
order in a physical controller (the last parameter is passed first in an
emulated controller). Do not use JSR instructions in a manner where the
order in which parameters are passed to a subroutine matters.

Technical Information
Refer to the RSLogix Emulate 5000 Getting Results Guide for more information about using
this product. This document can be viewed with the Adobe Acrobat Reader by opening the
file LGEM5K-GR016A-EN-P.pdf located at \Documentation on the RSLogix
Emulate 5000 CD.
