DescriptionThe HI 2151/30WC is a compact, multipurpose, microprocessor-based
weight controller (See Fig. 1-1) that is used for a wide variety of process weighing applications, including batching, blending, check weighing, filling/dispensing, force measurement, level by weight, and weight
rate monitoring. As a standalone product, the HI 2151/30WC can control as many as eight set point relays, and transmit data via analog,
serial and BCD communications. The weight controller can also be
1-1
HI 2151/30WC MANUAL
used as a front end for a control system, transmitting weight values via
a standard operator-selectable serial port (RS-232, RS-422/485) to programmable logic controllers (PLC's), computers, and printers.
Data is displayed alpha-numerically on the six-digit, fourteen segment
LED display and graphically on the 30-segment bar-graph display.
Weight values can be based on either net, gross, Rate-of-Change
(ROC), peak hold or totalized weight values in pounds or kilograms.
An optional Allen Bradley Remote I/O and PROFIBUS interface is
available for communication to programmable logic controllers. The
weight controller’s 20-bit, analog-to-digital converter updates twenty
times per second and is capable of 985,000 counts of display resolution. This provides enough resolution for accurate weight measurement
and enough control to tolerate large “dead” loads and over sizing of
load cells/sensors. Users can enter commands either from the communication ports or locally from a sixteen-button, front-panel keypad. A
portion of the keys can be locked out to limit operator access and protect data. A limited number of commands can be entered through a rear
Remote Functions connector.
WAVERSAVER
®
Typically, mechanical noise from other machinery in a plant environment exists in all industrial weight control and measurement applica-
tions. WA VERSAVER® enables the weight controller to distinguish t he
actual weight data from the mechanical noise that comes in on the load
cell signal. WAVERSAVER® can be configured from the front panel to
ignore noise with frequencies as low as 0.25 Hz. Users can select one
of four higher additional cut-off frequencies to provide a faster instrument response time. The default factory configuration is 0.50 Hz vibration frequency immunity.
®
CalibrationC2 second-generation electronic calibration can calibrate a scale sys-
C2
tem without using certified test weights. A C2 weighing system consists of up to eight load sensors, a junction box, interconnect cable and
an instrument with C2 capabilities, such as the HI 2151/30WC. Each
Hardy Instruments C2-certified load sensor sends a distinct digital signal that the HI 2151/30WC uses to calculate weight and count the number of sensors in the system. To factor in any known weight on the
scale, the user enters a reference value from the front panel. (A zero
reference value indicates there is no weight on the scale.)
The instrument is also capable of performing traditional calibration
such as with the use of certified test weights.
1-2
IT
®
INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN™ is a built-in diagnostics utility that
continuously monitors the system and allows the operator to rapidly
troubleshoot problems from the front panel. Adding an optional an IT
junction box extends the diagnostics capability to any load sensor.
Chapter 1 - Overview
Excitation Monitor Continuously monitors the system excitation current for evidence of
open or shorted load sensors or damaged or broken excitation wire(s),
including the wires between the instrument and the junction box. If the
measured current deviates from a ± 10% tolerance, an "ERRExC"
(Error Excitation) displays on the front panel. In a system with C2 load
sensors, IT computes the correct current and displays alarms if the initial measured current is out of tolerance. Without C2 load sensors, the
initial read is assumed to be correct and is used as the standard.
Digital Volt Meter
(DVM)
The DVM displays millivolts (mV to one digit to the right of the decimal point) and millivolts per volt (mV/V to four digits to the right of
the decimal point) for both the whole system and individual load sensors. The DVM helps enables the user to isolate a faulty component
from the front panel. The voltage reading can be used to level a balanced system and to make corner adjustments to platform scales. Accuracy is ± 2% or better of full scale.
Return to Zero TestThis test compares the original voltage reading saved at calibration
against the current voltage reading of an empty vessel and displays
either a pass (OK) or fail (ERR) message. The test checks for load sensor damage (due to electrical zero shift or abnormal mechanical forces)
that causes binding sensors in the system.
•With an IT junction box, the test will pass or fail the individual load
sensors providing a true fault isolation capability.
•Without an IT junction box, the test will pass or fail on the basis of
a cumulative reading rather than an individual reading of each load
sensor.
Weighing System Tests(Requires the IT Junction Box) This test does the following analysis to
diagnose drifting or unstable weight reading problems:
Secure Memory
Module (SMM)
1. It disconnects the controller and engages an internal reference signal to see if the problem is within the instrument.
2. It disconnects the load sensors and engages an internal (in the junction box) reference signal to see if the cable between the instrument
and the Junction Box is causing the problem.
3. It reads the weight of each load sensor to see if a load sensor might
be causing the problem.
Weight readings from the individual load sensors makes this test useful
for making cornering, leveling, and load-sharing adjustments.
The Secure Memory Module stores critical HI 2151/30WC configuration, calibration and setup data (excluding Peak Hold) and protects it
from corruption. When a new parameter is entered during system operation, the SMM automatically updates that value in its memory. Since
the SMM is conveniently accessible from the instruments rear panel,
data stored in one HI 2151/30WC may be restored to the new instrument by physically transferring the SMM.
1-3
HI 2151/30WC MANUAL
NOTE:The SMM is lim ited to 1,000,000 lift-time write functions. A write is performed after
any parameter change to the calibration, zero, and tare functions.
NOTE:You cannot transfer the SMM from the HI 2151/30WC to the HI 2151/20WC.
Set PointRelaysThe HI 2151/30WC is fitted with two standard, internal, selectable and
mechanical form C (SPDT) relays. Six optional, external, solid-state
relays are available and are field configurable as form A or B types.
Both types have individual set point, preact, and deadband parameters.
Each can be programmed to respond to the standard Net or Gross
modes of operation or the optional ROC, Totalizer or Peak Hold modes.
These relays can be used to open or close valves or gates or to turn
motors, mixers, vibration equipment, heaters, coolers, etc. on or off.
Serial PortOne standard serial port can be configured to receive commands and
transmit weight data to a serial device such as a printer output or bidirectional port. By resetting jumpers within the instrument, it can be
configured for RS 232 (-A1), RS 422 (-A2) or RS 485 (-A3). Baud
rates are user selectable at 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 or 19,200.
Hardy Link LANThe Hardy Link Local Area Network (LAN) assigns an address to each
instrument and provides the firmware necessary to handle in-coming
and out-going communications.
Remote FunctionsRear panel input of a level or momentary grounding that can be used to:
Tare the instrument., activate a print sequence, totalize the display,
force the Net mode, toggle between pounds or kilograms, initiate the
optional ROC (Rate-of-Change) mode, freeze the front panel display or
one of the communications ports, and clear the totalizer or peak hold
values. This is useful for adding large additional industrialized switches
to the control panel.
Auto Zero TrackingAuto Zero Tracking causes the display to indicate zero as long as any
"live weight" on the scale is below the set zero tolerance and the scale
is not in motion. This capability allows the instrument to ignore material build-up in the weigh system within the set zero tolerance.
NOTE:
NOTE:
Do not use auto zero tracking to correct a drifting-scale problem. Auto zero tracking will
zero and write to the SMM every second if there is a change in weight. A correct graduation
size is requir ed to stop excessive weight changes and r educe write commands to the SMM.
See Chapter Six for graduation size setup guidelines.
The amount of weight zeroed off is cumulative. The autozero command will fail if the
current gross weight plus any previously zeroed amount exceeds the zero tolerance.
1-4
Auto Zero Tracking is enabled when switch eight of S3 (the configuration dipswitch), labeled Config on the instrument's rear panel is in the
on position.

THE INPUT VOLTAGE RATING BETWEEN 120 AND 240 VAC REQUIRES
MODIFICATIONS TO THE POWER/RELAY CIRCUIT BOARD AND
RELAY OUTPUT BOARD. THIS PROCEDURE SHOULD ONLY BE DONE
BY AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL. FOR FURTHER ASSISTANCE CONTACT
HARDY INSTRUMENTS, CUSTOMER SUPPORT.
Step 1.The HI 2151/30WC is factory configured to operate from
either 120 or 240 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz power. Check the model
number of your unit to verify the voltage. If the unit is configured for 240 VAC, an "E2" will be printed on the name plate.
Step 2.The power and relay circuit card filters and conditions AC
power. However, for noisy power lines, external conditioning
may be required. Contact Hardy Instruments Customer Support for more information.
Step 3.The AC power should be supplied by a "clean" primary line,
directly from the power panel. This line should not supply any
other equipment, including the feeding unit, and should be
supplied with a minimum 10 amp breaker.
Step 4.T o connect power to the controller, install a 3-wire, minimum
of a 14 AWG power line to the 3-pin terminal block connector. (See Fig. 3-8)

Load Cell/Point
Connections (J1)
About Load Cell
Wiring
The unit is capable of powering a maximum of eight 350 ohm load
cells/points. If more than eight load cells/points are used, an external
power supply is required. Figures 3-9, 3-10, Load cell/point connections (J1) shows how to connect a full six-wire hookup, a four-wire
hookup, and an external excitation supply. Load cell/point cables are
connected to J1 through a furnished mating plug, P1.
NOTE:Contact Har dy C ustomer Sup port f or ins tallat ion inform ation when us ing an extern al
power supply.
To ensure a "clean" signal from the load cells/points, follow these precautions :
•Load cell/point cables MUST be run separate from all other cables
and in their own conduit. Load cell/point cable shield should be
attached to ground screw on rear panel only.
•Six-wire, shielded load cell/point cable should be used for lengths
of 50 feet or more or if intrinsic safety barriers are used. Eight-wire
shielded cable, preferably Hardy C2 cable, must be used for C2 calibration.
•A void load cell/point cable splices. If cables are longer than needed,
coil up and tape excess cable. If cables are short, use an appropriate
junction box. When terminal lugs are installed on load cell/point
cables, Hardy Instruments recommends the lug be crimped and soldered.
•When connecting the HI 2151/30WC weight controller to the HI
215IT junction box using C2 load cell/point cable (6020-0001), use
the following color code:

The analog transmitter outputs to a receiving device (PLC, Computer
etc.). The transmitter outputs a user selectable Gross, Net, Rate of
Change (ROC), Peak or Total Weight as 0-5V, 0-10V, 0-20mA, or 420mA (via the front panel you can reverse the voltage and current
ranges, See Chapter 5 for procedures). When configuring the Analog
Output Card, both the receiver and the HI 2151\30WC must be in
the same mode (e.g. Gross, Net, Rate of Change (ROC) Peak or
Total Weight). The analog card can also span the voltage or milliamp
ranges over a portion of the weight data. The outputs are electrically
and optically isolated from the main board. The Analog Output Card is

CHAPTER 6 - CALIBRATION
Chapter 6 covers calibration procedures for the HI 2151/30WC weight
controller. Users and service personnel should be familiar with these
procedures before installing or operating the HI2151/30WC.
For the weight controller to work properly , it must be calibrat ed prior to
operation. We also recommend that the instrument be re-calibrated
periodically or when not in use for extended periods. Be sure to follow
the procedures completely to ensure that the weights read by the controller are accurate.
All calibration should be done in the Gross mode.
Pre-Calibration Procedures
Chapter 6 - Calibration
Mechanical Check
Procedures
Step 1.Check to determine if the load cells have been installed prop-
erly.
•Refer to your load cell I&M manual for proper installation
instructions.
•On some single and double ended shear beam load cells
there is an arrow (↓) that indicates the direction of the
applied load. If the arrow is pointing in the wrong direction,
change the position of the load cell so that it is mounted in
the direction of the applied load.
Step 2.Check for Binding on the Load Cell or other parts of the sys-
tem.
CAUTIONBINDING ON A SCALE/VESSEL OR LOAD CELL DOES NOT ALLOW THE
LOAD CELL FREE VERTICAL MOVEMENT AND MAY PREVENT THE
INSTRUMENT FROM RETURNING TO THE ORIGINAL ZERO REFERENCE POINT.
•A load cell must be mounted in such a way that 100% of the
load (Vessel w/Contents) is vertically passed through a load
cell. (See Fig. 6-1)
•Check to see that nothing is binding the load cell. This
means that nothing is draped across the scale/vessel or the
load cell, such as a hose, electrical cord, tubes, or other
objects.
•The HI 2151/30WC is designed to supply 5 vdc excitation
to as many as eight 350 ohm load cells/points.

ZERO REFERENCE POINT
MAXIMUM LOAD CAPACITY
•The expected output from each load cell/point depends on
the mV/V rating of the load cell/point and weight.
•For example, a 2 mV/V load cell/point will respond with a
maximum of 10 mVDC at full weight capacity of the system which includes the weight of the vessel and the weight
of the product as measured by the load cell/point.
•If the load cell/point weight capacity is rated at 1000
pounds, the load cell/point output will be 10 mVdc at 1000
pounds, 7.5 mVdc at 750 pounds, 5 mVdc at 500 pounds
and so on.
•A zero reference point will vary from system to system
depending on the "Dead Load" of the vessel. "Dead Load"
is the weight of the vessel and appurtenances only, with no
product loaded. In our example we will assume the dead
load to be 500 lbs. (See Fig. 6-2)
FIG. 6-2 MILLIVOLTS/WEIGHT SCALE
•Based on the example, the operating range for this scale is
5-10 mVdc with a 500 pound weight range. Understand that
after zeroing the instrument, the 0 reading on the instrument
refers to the zero reference point and not absolute 0 mVdc
or absolute 0 weight.
NOTE:Load cell/point measurements are checked with a digital volt meter at the summing
junction box or the J1 connector on the rear panel of the HI 2151/30WC or use Integrated Technician. if using the IT Junction Box.

know what mode each are in before reading.
Load CheckStep 1.Place a load (weight) on the scale or vessel.
Step 2.Check to see if the weight reading changes on the display in
the proper direction.
•e.g. if the display reads 100 pounds and a 20 pound load is
placed on the vessel or scale, the display should read 120
or some value over 100.
•If the display reads 80 pounds and a 20 pound load is
placed on the vessel or scale, the reading is going in the
wrong direction and indicates a problem. (See the Chapter
8, Troubleshooting for corrective action.)
•If the display is reading improperly or shows no change,
something is wrong either with the setup or configuration.
Step 3.If the display changes in the proper direction, remove the
weight and proceed to calibrate the controller.

Setting the Standard
Decimal Point
(DECPNT)
This parameter sets the number of decimal places to use in weight values (Total weight may be set to a different number of decimal places).
Step 1.To determine the highest recommended decimal point, divide
the total load cell capacity by 10,000, and use the number of
decimal places in your answer as a reference. For example:
10,000 EU scale divided by 10,000 = 1, no decimal point is
recommended. 100 EU load cell capacity divided by 10,000 =
.01, requiring two decimal points or less is recommended.

The graduation size sets the minimum increment the instrument will
compute and display. The Base Graduation Number is calculated by
dividing the total load cell capacity by 10,000. For example: With two
decimal points selected, the graduation size 10 will display increments
of .10 engineering units. With two decimals points selected, the graduation size 50 will display increments of .50 engineering units.
NOTE:If you undersize your graduation setting to increase display resolution, do not use
auto zero tracking. This combination will damage the SMM due to excessive write
operations.

Setting The Auto Zero
Tolerance (A0 TOT)
This sets a weight limit for an operator adjusting the weight of an
empty scale using the upper left ZERO push button. This value is the
zero tracking window and reflects an amount of weight differential of
an empty scale. Normally, a Zero Tolerance amount equal to 2% of the
total load cell capacity is acceptable. The default zero tolerance is 10
units of measure (10 is displayed). The maximum Zero Tolerance number that can be entered is 32766.
The amount of weight zeroed off is cumulative. The zero command will fail if the current
gross weight plus any previously zeroed amount exceeds the zero tolerance.
Step 1.Press the Enter button. The default display will appear (10) or

Step 2.Press the -/Test/Clr button to clear the current value
Step 3.Use the numeric keys to enter the new value.
Step 4.Press the Enter button to accept the new value. Zero Tolerance
sub-menu (O TOT) appears on the display.
This parameter sets a weight limit that applies when the Auto Zero
Tracking feature (0 TRK) or a communication command adjusts an
empty scale. When 0 TRK is enabled, the display is reset to zero when
the weight is within the set limits and not in motion.When the Auto
Zero T olerance (0 TOT) is enabled (Set Dip Switch #8, See Chapter 4),
any weight within the set zero tolerance limit will cause the display to
automatically read zero when the scale is not in motion.
NOTES:
Normally an acceptable Zero Tolerance amount is less than or equal to
1.5% of the total load cell capacity. The default auto zero tolerance is
10 units of measure, and the maximum number you can enter is 32766.
Incorrect graduation size or a drifting scale with auto zero tracking enabled can damage
the SMM.
The amount of weight zeroed off is cumulative. The autozero command will fail if the
current gross weight plus any previously zeroed amount exceeds the zero tolerance.
Step 1.Press the Enter button. The default display will appear (10) or
the previous set value.
Step 2.Press the -/Test/Clr button to clear the current value
Step 3.Use the numeric keys to enter the new value.

Step 1.This setting is to aid in ignoring the effects of material impact.
If material is not entering or exiting the scale evenly, necessary weight fluctuations can be seen. Averages also contribute
50 ms each to the overall time to calculate the scale weight.
Applications requiring very quick weight readings should
reduce this setting to it's minimum. If the weight is unstable
due to material impacting, increase the averages. This sets the
number of weight readings that will be used to compute the
displayed weight. The average is a sliding average so that a
new average is available for display at every reading.
Step 2.This sets the number of weight readings whic h will be use d to
compute the displayed weight.
Step 3.The average is a sliding average so that a new average is
available for display at every reading.
Step 4.The default number of readings per average is 10.
Step 5.Press the Enter button.
Step 6.Use the numeric keys to enter the new value in the range of 1

Step 3.Remove the test weight from the scale. If the displayed value
is zero the hard calibration is complete. If some value other
than zero is displayed, check for mechanical problems, most
likely binding in the system. (See Chapter 8, Flow Chart H for
details) Correct the problems and perform the Hard Calibration Process again.

About Soft
Calibration
•Soft-Cal is a procedure that quickly calibrates a scale system, on-
site, without test weights, material substitution or forced calibration.
•The process uses the certified, full scale mV/V output (sensitivity
and range) of each load cell.
•The full scale mV/V output of each load cell is mathematically
combined with a measured reference point, usually but not always
zero, to calibrate the scale.
•The full scale mV/V data is on the calibration certificate which is
shipped with every Hardy load cell.
•The process assumes a consistent center of gravity on the scale with
even distribution.
6-15
HI 2151/30WC MANUAL
•All load cells must be correctly installed with no binding of any
kind on the scale.
•You must use the same length cable as supplied with the load cell.
DO NOT CUT THE CABLE!!!
•A multiple load cell system, using a junction box, all balance potentiometer and resistors must be zero.
NOTE:For multiple load cell systems contact your local dealer or Hardy Instruments, Cus-
tomer Support Department.
•The Soft-Cal menu cannot be entered while in the National Bureau
of Standards (NBS) mode.

five digits, add 0's to make up the five digit number. For
example: When the full scale output in mV/V is "2.99". You
need to enter the number as "29900". The least significant
numbers are on the right when looking at the display.
Step 3.When multiple load cells are used, contact Hardy Instruments

Procedures
About Quick C2
Calibration
1. C2 Load Cells
If C2 load cells are used in the weight control system, the controller
calculates the resistance value during power up and turns on the excitation monitor.
2. Non C2 Load Cells
If Non C2 Load Cells are used in the weight control system, the controller will capture the resistance value when performing the Hard Calibration when setting the Zero Calibration Value.
The quick C2 calibration should be used when the controller has
already been properly calibrated and when the system is determined to
be slightly out of specification, for a scheduled periodic calibration.
•The Quick C2 calibration procedures do not replace the regular C2
calibration procedures.
