November 25, 2009 — The HI 4050 general-purpose weight controller is now available with a ControlNet network interface. ControlNet allows the fast transfer of time-critical application information at 5 Mbit/sec in a redundant, deterministic and predictable manner. Information can be transmitted to up to 98 additional nodes at distances of 250 to 5,000 meters. The interface comes with two BNC connectors for cable redundancy but can operate with a single or dual RG-6 coaxial cable bus. The HI 4050 is used in vessel weighing, batching/blending, filling/dispensing, check weighing, level-by-weight, and force measurement applications.The HI 4050 weight controller includes:

WAVERSAVER, which eliminates the effects of surrounding vibration to provide a fast, stable weight display

C2, which allows for electronic calibration without the need for test weights

Secure Memory Module with Secure Digital (SD) card (SMM-SD), which allows manual transfer of configuration data to another instrument or PC using SD technology

INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN (IT) for system diagnostics and troubleshooting
