{"product_id":"1746-ws-allen-bradley-weigh-scale-module","title":"1746-WS | Allen-Bradley Weigh Scale Module","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Allen-Bradley \u003cstrong\u003e1746-WS\u003c\/strong\u003e is a microprocessor-based weigh scale I\/O module designed for integration into the SLC 500 system platform. It processes signals directly from strain-gauge load cells, performing high-speed analog-to-digital conversion and digital filtering to deliver accurate weight and force measurements directly to the 1746 chassis backplane.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSignal Processing and Operations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe digital printed wiring assembly (PWA) architecture enables standalone signal processing, offloading scale calibration, tare calculations, and weight data formatting from the main SLC 500 processor. The module incorporates local solid-state outputs rated at 10 mA per line, allowing direct triggering of fast-acting control elements such as valves, feeders, or alarms based on pre-programmed weight thresholds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBackplane Integration and Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered to occupy a single slot in any standard 1746 I\/O chassis, the \u003cstrong\u003e1746-WS\u003c\/strong\u003e communicates via the internal backplane logic for rapid data updates. Its dedicated microprocessing capabilities make it suitable for industrial batching, tank weighing, hopper fill control, and inline scale systems requiring low latency and reliable strain-gauge signal conditioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"table\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAllen-Bradley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1746-WS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeries\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSLC 500\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeigh Scale Modules\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArchitecture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMicroprocessor-based digital PWA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutput Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 mA per line (both outputs)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSystem Compatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1746 I\/O Chassis \/ SLC 500 System\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Status\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiscontinued by Manufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.21 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: What function do the outputs on the 1746-WS module serve?
