Good evening(here at least),
I am working on a senior design project that requires the use of a PLC. Due to budget we've had to settle for an older Micrologix 1000 from Allen Bradley.
I've managed to get the software running and connect with the programming port. The problem I have right now is trying to decipher how I would connect a load cell(Such that it causes a condition change at a certain weight). Ideally I would want a load cell amplifier connected to an analog input, but I don't think the 1000 has support for that. Would it be possible to use something like the HX711 amplifier(digital output) to be read on one of the input pins of the micrologix? I wanna say the pins don't read a pulse modulated input and I can't seem to register for the AB knowledgebase as the site gives me a web error.
I'd appreciate any feedback.
Thanks in advance.
