Getting 
Started 
This chapter can help you to get started using the Helm Weigh Scale 
module.  The procedures included here assume that you have a basic 
understanding of PLC products.  You should understand electronic 
process control and be able to interpret the ladder logic instructions 
required to generate the electronic signals that control your application. 
 
Because it is a start-up guide, this chapter does not contain detailed 
explanations about the procedures listed.  It does, however, reference 
other chapters in this book where you can get more information about 
applying the procedures described in each step.  It also references other 
SLC documentation that may be helpful if you are unfamiliar with 
programming techniques or system installation requirements. 
 
If you have any questions or are unfamiliar with the terms used or 
concepts presented in the procedural steps, always read the referenced 
chapters and other recommended documentation before trying to apply 
the information. 
 
 
This chapter will: 
 
•  Tell you what equipment you need
