HI 1756-FC ControlLogix Weigh Feeder Control Module

WAVERSAVER® Hardy's WAVERSAVER core technology eliminates the effects that surrounding vibration has on the scale weight signal, providing only true data for fast, accurate weight reading. Read more about WAVERSAVER® INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN® Hardy's Integrated Technician (IT) core feature helps you troubleshoot your weighing system and diagnose problems from the front of the instrument or via the PLC.  Read more about INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN® C2® Electronic Calibration Hardy's C2® core feature provides quick and easy electronic calibration of a weighing system without the need for heavy test weights.

Used in new applications or to retrofit volumetric feeders, the HI 1756-FC feeder control module mounts directly into your ControlLogix® chassis and controls many standard feeding devices as well as your proprietary designs.

WORRY-FREE OPERATION
The HI 1756-FC feeder control module will watch your process and notify you of problems. Prompts on your system’s HMI display and PLC alarm relay outputs occur with tolerance errors and other failures.

MULTIPLE FEEDER CONTROL
The HI 1756-FC is a powerful building block when it comes to multiple feeder systems. It can be a slave to other process inputs through the ControlLogix® processor.

AUTOMATIC WEIGHT AND RATE CALIBRATION
A five-point auto rate calibration automatically allows the module to calibrate itself to the characteristics of the feeder and the material being fed. This allows for a higher feed accuracy over a broader range of feed rates.

C2® ELECTRONIC CALIBRATION
C2® enables electronic calibration of the weigh system without test weights. This saves you system start-up costs and aggravation.

WAVERSAVER®
WAVERSAVER® ignores vibration and mechanical noise in feeders and the plant environment by permitting the weigh module to “see” through the unwanted vibration signals - as low as 0.25Hz - while yielding a stable actual reading.

INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN®
Used in conjunction with an IT junction box, IT provides built-in system diagnostics that enable you to troubleshoot and diagnose your weighing system.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Two bi-color LEDs on the front panel of the module report functional characteristics. Being a true ControlLogix® module, the HI 1756-FC supports removal and insertion under power.
