Hardy Process Solutions – PLC Weighing Modules
Hardy’s single-slot Rockwell® PLC/PAC modules read and condition data from strain gage load cells and communicate it over the I/O chassis backplane to the processor.
They provide basic weight data or are loaded with sophisticated algorithms to perform application-specific industrial weighing processes from simple batch weighing to loss-in-weight control, filling or dispensing. Modules are available for Allen-Bradley® ControlLogix®, CompactLogix®, POINT I/O, Micro800® or SLC500 chassis.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Designed to plug directly onto the backplane of Rockwell Automation® CompactLogix 5380 controllers, Hardy HI5069 scale modules enable faster system performance by serving as a co-processer to the control system, delivering post-processed (filtered) weigh data at a rate of 250 updates per second directly to the backplane.
SECURE
Controller-based change detection, device authentication, firmware encryption and event logging help to protect the entire integrated system against malicious intent. A final layer of protection is provided by Common Industrial Protocol (CIP™) Security to prevent attacks commonly carried out over large organizational networks. This provides resiliency of manufacturing operations (Cybersecurity) as a path to Production Excellence.
REDUCE TIME TO COMMISSION
Benefit from tight integration of a scale system by using Add-On-Profiles, Add-On-Instructions and Faceplates available from Hardy and native to Studio 5000 Logix Designer®.
Industries such as Chemical, Food & Beverage, Life Sciences, Metals & Mining, Aerospace, Oil & Gas, and Plastics benefit from the Hardy Productivity Toolbox – C2® calibration and Integrated Technician® scale diagnostics – enabling a proactive maintenance strategy and troubleshooting with the touch of a button.
SIMPLE SET-UP & CALIBRATION
Use load sensors with Hardy's exclusive C2® Calibration for automatic system calibration saving hours in commissioning and routine maintenance. By reading the calibration with certificate embedded electronically in the C2 sensor, the weigh system can be calibrated with the touch of a button.
MAINTENANCE & DIAGNOSTICS
For quick and easy troubleshooting, the HI5069 scale modules feature built in diagnostics that include 3 LEDs per module that indicate Plug-In-Module and weigh scale status. With Integrated Technician®, the module monitors and troubleshoots the weighing system by diagnosing individual sensors without the need to disconnect.
