Allen-Bradley 1756-2WS Dual Weigh Scale Module

The Allen-Bradley 1756-2WS is a dual weigh scale module designed for the ControlLogix platform. It handles two independent weighing systems simultaneously, making it ideal for precise weight measurement in industrial applications. This module connects directly to a ControlLogix chassis and supports up to four weight scales.

Key Features and Specifications

• Dual-Channel Weighing: Accurately measures weight for two separate weighing systems.
• ControlLogix Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates into the ControlLogix platform for efficient data acquisition and processing.
• High Resolution: Provides high resolution weighing, enabling precise measurements even with heavy loads.
• C2 Electronic Calibration: Streamlines calibration processes by eliminating the need for physical test weights.
• Producer/Consumer Technology: Facilitates intelligent data exchange without constant polling.
• Input Voltage: Supplies 5VDC excitation to power up to four 350 ohm weight sensors.

Applications

The 1756-2WS is used in various industries, including:

• Manufacturing: Weighs raw materials, finished products, and packaging.
• Food and Beverage: Monitors ingredient quantities and product weights.
• Pharmaceutical: Ensures precise dosing and formulation.
• Chemical Processing: Controls batch processes and monitors material flow.
