  1. Hardy Process Solutions – New Product IntroductionHI6600 Series – Modular Sensor System • Hardy delivers productivity solutions to manufacturers and processors • Hardy developed the first PLC integrated weighing system • We are a Rockwell Automation Global Encompass Partner • We were founded as Hardy Scales in 1918 • Hardy is part of Roper Industries, a $3.2B+ public company

  2. Available Hardware to Provide “Weight” Into a PLC Transmitter 4-20mA out Weight Indicator w/ EtherNet/IP • Weight Processor • w/ EtherNet/IP • & • Hardy Core Features • Webserver • Waversaver • C2 Auto Calibration • Integrated Technician

  3. Single Channel Transmitter (analog strain gauge conditioner) • Features and Functionality – • Signal Voltage Regulation • A/D Conversion • Signal Processing • Scaling • Calibration • Span • Reference • Communication Control • 4-20 mA • Response Time • 10 samples/second 4-20mA Control System – Administrator of machine control : opens/closes valves, adjusts mixing rates, tracks statistical data, etc. Converts analog strain gauge load cell signals to a 4-20mA output typically connected to a PLC

  4. Typical Multi-channel Weight System (Transmitter) 4-20mA • Challenges of Transmitters • Cumbersome wiring • Low resolution • Difficult calibration process • No filtering to suppress noise • No display interface • Analog input card(s) need for PLC interface • PLC Programming Required • Raw count conversion • Zero Calculation • Tare Calculation • Unit conversion • Averaging calculation • Basic filter programming

  5. Single Channel Weight Indicator • Features and Functionality – • Signal Voltage Regulation • A/D Conversion • Signal Processing • Conversion • Linearization • Filtering • Scaling • Zero • Calibration • Span • Reference • Measure • Gross • Net • Tare • Communication Control • Ethernet IP • Profibus • Response Time • 50 samples/second EtherNet/IP Control System – Administrator of machine control : opens/closes valves, adjusts mixing rates, tracks statistical data, etc. Converts analog strain gauge load cell signals to a weight output connected to a PLC via EtherNet/IP

  6. Typical Multi-channel Weight System (Indicator) Challenges of Indicators Traditional calibration Slow basic filtering Router required High cost per channel

  7. Single Channel Weight Processor • Features and Functionality – • Signal Voltage Regulation • A/D Conversion • Signal Processing • Conversion • Linearization • Filtering • Averaging • Scaling • Zero • Zero Tracking • Calibration • C2 Automatic • Span (manual) • Reference (manual) • Measure • Gross • Net • Tare • Diagnostics • Integrated Technician • Features • Webserver • USB (cloning/backup) • Communication Control • EtherNet/IP • Modbus • Profibus • Response Time • 100 samples/second EtherNet/IP Control System – Administrator of machine control : opens/closes valves, adjusts mixing rates, tracks statistical data, etc. Processes analog strain gauge load cell signals into a stable weight output connected to a PLC via EtherNet/IP

  8. Typical Multi-channel Weight System (Processor)

  9. Typical Multi-channel Weight System (Processor) Challenges of Processors Router required High cost per channel Benefits of Processors Fast Stable Weight Data EtherNet/IP Communications C2 for automatic calibration IT for simple troubleshooting Webserver for remote access

  10. How to provide all the features and benefits of a Weight Processor at the price of a typical Transmitter? The Challenge -

  11. Anatomy of a Weight Processor Rapid advances in communication speeds result in half the instrument hardware being under-utilized! Weight Processing Communication Processing 1/2 the hardware (cost) of an instrument is used for communication management and 1/2 is used for processing weight data

  12. Hardy’s Bright Idea! Weight Processing Communication Processing Modular configuration optimizes hardware (cost) by utilizing communication circuitry as a shared resource between multiple weight processing channels Weight Processing Module Gateway Module

  13. Hardy’s Bright Idea! Weight Processing Communication Processing Modular configuration optimizes hardware (cost) by utilizing communication circuitry as a shared resource between multiple weight processing channels Weight Processing Module Gateway Module

  14. System Configuration Single Sensor or Communication Weight Processing Multiple Sensors via J-Box Single Channel System: 1 Gateway Module + 1 Weight Processing Module Optional Display for Local Control

  15. System Configuration Communication Weight Processing Expand System up to 30 Weight Processors Optional Display for Local Control HardyNet RS485 8-Channel System shown above

  16. System Configuration Communicate processed weight from all 30 channels over a single Ethernet connection Optional Display for Local Control HardyNet RS485 8-Channel System shown above

  17. Multi-channel Weight System

  18. Multi-channel Weight System w/ Display Optional Local Display

  19. Multi-channel Weight System w/ Display Control and Monitor System via PLC or PC Set-Up, Calibrate and Monitor each channel with an optional local display Monitor multiple channels of the system at the same time with a single local display Optional Display functions as an HMI for the entire weighing system, allowing Set-Up, Calibration, Monitoring and Troubleshooting without the need to go through the PLC

  20. 30 Channel Weight System w/ Display

  21. 30 Channel Weight System w/ Display Single Ethernet Connection Low Power & Compact Design 30 Channels of Processed Weight Just 40” of DIN Rail – 55W of Power Competitive Price Point even when compared to basic Transmitter technology Optional Display for Local Control

  22. System Deployed over Distance HardyNet RS485 HardyNet RS485 100’ 500’ Extend a Multi-Channel System up to 500 feet (150 m) between Gateway and last Module on system EtherNet/IP Profibus Modbus RTU

  23. Optional System Redundancy Optional Display for Local Control HardyNet RS485 Optional addition of another Gateway Module to create communication redundancy for highly critical processes – Self Healing

  24. Simple Troubleshooting and Repair Bi-Color LED Simplifies Troubleshooting • Power Indication • Gateway Connection • Load Cell Connection • Communication Fault • Sensor Fault • Overload Fault • ADC Error Gateway Module Weight Processing Module Quick-Disconnects Speed up installation, repair and troubleshooting

  25. Where to Use? • Stock • Tank Farms • Multiple Feedstock Vessels • Make • Batching Systems • Small Ingredient Mixing • Pack • Multi-Head Filling Machinery • Ship • Dock Scales • Check Points • Anywhere multiple channels of Weight are Required

  26. We believe that industrial weighing solutions should be EASY to engineer and operate. We believe that simplicity delivers the LOWEST TOTAL COST to own. That’s why our solutions are EASIER to install, integrate, commission, diagnose and maintain. Want MORE PRODUCTIVITY at the LEAST TOTAL COST to own? Call Hardy to discover how Today!
