November 20, 2013 - Hardy Process Solutions releases HI 6500 series of EtherNet/IP enabled weight processors with a Rockwell EDS Add-On-Profile (AOP) compatible with RSLogix. They have a big, bright multi-channel display and deliver fast, high-resolution weight readings. They also feature alternative communication options. Weight processors are used as front ends to control systems or standalone for all types of general weighing applications. Operating blind or with a display, they measure, condition and communicate weight without any need to control.
Hardy Process Solutions’ new 6500 series is designed to support process weighing applications such as inventory management, batch, blending, filling, dispensing, and check weighing. The HI 6500 series delivers stable processed rate with a resolution of 1:10:000, and an update speed of 110 updates per second (processor, display and communications). They enhance the productivity of process manufacturing systems where fast, precise weight-based controls are critical. They offer you many communication choices including EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP & RTU, and Analog 4-20mA.
HI 6500 has a 140° viewing angle for viewing up to 100 ft. away making it easy for operators to see across the plant floor. To save space and energy, the HI 6500 series can deliver the weight readings of up to four instruments on one display panel simultaneously. Users can name their display inputs for easy ID and rearrange them in any order.
