Features and Capabilities

Hardy Process Toolbox

The Hardy Process Toolbox is a set of productivity tools that support process weighing functions. Each tool in the Hardy Process Toobox saves time, increases accuracy, improves efficiency or reduces risk in process weighing applications. The HI 6300 includes the following Toolbox functions.

C2® and eCal™ Calibration

Traditional calibration uses certified test weights. C2® (or eCAL Electronic Calibration allows a scale to be calibrated without the need for test weights. A C2 or eCAL weighing system consists of up to four load cell sensors per channel, a junction box, interconnect cable, and an instrument with C2 capabilities (e.g., the HI 6300 series instrument). Each Hardy Process Solutions C2-certified load sensor outputs digital information used for calculating the calibration. When the HI 6300 series instrument reads the signals from the load sensors, it calibrates the scale based on the load sensor’s output plus a user-supplied reference point value (from 0 to any known weight on the scale).

WAVERSAVER

When measuring small weight changes, the effects of mechanical vibration and noise from feeders and other plant environmental conditions can introduce substantial interference. WAVERSAVER factors out vibration, noise, and other interference-related signals from the load cell so the rate controller can better decipher the actual weight data.

While WAVERSAVER can factor out noise with frequencies as low as 1.00 Hz, three cutoff frequencies can be selected, with higher frequencies providing a faster response time. The default factory setting is 1.00 Hz vibration frequency immunity.

NOTE

INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN

In conjunction with an IT junction box, the HI 6300 features INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN

(IT), a system diagnostics program that makes it possible to diagnose

weighing system problems from the instrument’s front panel or over the available networks. IT reads individual load sensor voltages and weights and isolates individual system components for quick and easy troubleshooting

If you do not have a Hardy IT Junction Box connected to the HI 6300, the weight reading is the total for all load cells on the system.

Weighing System Tests

These tests are used to diagnose drifting or unstable weight reading problems. It requires a Hardy IT Junction Box for full utilization, for example the HI 215IT or the HI 6010IT. The ability to read the weight seen by the individual load sensors allows you to use this test for making cornering, leveling and load sharing adjustments to the weighing system.

INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN provides the following problem detection support:

Integrated Technician Stability Test

: Disconnects the load sensors and engages an internal (in the junction box) reference signal to see if the Junction box, the cable between the instrument and the Junction Box, or the instrument is causing the problem.

Integrated Technician Return to Zero Test

Network Configuration

Chapter Four contains step-by-step instructions for configuring Hardy HI 6300 series instruments and related communication networks. We recommend reading these procedures because having a correct configuration is necessary to ensure trouble-free operation.

This chapter explains how to either configure the HI 6300 series instrument from its own front panel or with a PC-based Web interface connected to the HI 6300 series instrument over a standard Ethernet network. The features of the HI 6300 series instrument operate the same way in either case. You must use the Web interface to configure units that do not have a display.

Before operating the HI 6300Weight Processor, make sure that:

•

Power and load point cables are properly installed and in working order.

•

Communication cables are properly installed and in working order.

Ethernet TCP/IP

NOTE

Do not confuse the on-board Ethernet TCP/IP communication with EtherNet/IP®. Ethernet/IP is an industrial protocol that does not transmit Web traffic.

An embedded Web server in the HI 6300 series instrument allows you to easily configure every parameter of the instrument via a standard Web browser. A standard Ethernet network is required to provide the connectivity between the HI 6300 series instrument and your desktop / laptop computer.

The HI 6300 series instrument is designed with a standard 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet connection for linking to any Windows PC. Once connected, you can monitor, download Hardy software from the Internet, or configure the HI 6300 series instrument from that PC. A Help function can assist you in setup or trouble-shooting. The browser also links to the Hardy Web Site where the user can find additional services and support.

There are two primary ways to connect the HI 6300 series instrument to your computer:

LAN Connection: Connect the HI 6300 series instrument to an existing Ethernet-

Network Configuration

based Local Area Network (LAN) that has connectivity to your

desktop or laptop computer. See the LAN Connection section

below.

Network Configuration

•

Page 34

Direct Connection:

LAN Connection

To connect the HI 6300 series instrument to a LAN, you simply connect a standard Ethernet cable between the instrument and the common network hub. You will then need to determine which scheme is used on the network to assign IP addresses. Every node on the network must have a unique IP address or conflicts will result.

Contact your Network Administrator for the IP address to use for the instrument.

The IP address can be set manually (Fixed IP), or it can be set automatically by a network service called DHCP.

A direct point-to-point connection between the HI-6300 and your

desktop or laptop computer using any standard Ethernet cable. See the

Direct Connection

section below.

NOTE

If the DHCP service fails, the instrument will default to the Fixed IP address after a power cycle. If the DHCP service is repaired, the instrument will revert back to using the DHCP IP address.

If you are required to use Fixed IP addresses, refer to the section

Using the Front Panel

Fixed IP Configuration

below. For automatic IP assignment (DHCP), use the following

steps:

DHCP Configuration Using the Front Panel

DHCP works only if a DHCP server is installed on your network.

Step 1. From the Configuration menu, Use the UP or DOWN button to select the

communication menu, then select the Ethernet TCP/IP menu item.

Step 2. Select the DHCP menu item and use the ENTER key to enable/disable this

feature.

Step 3. Select the DHCP IP address menu item and verify that a correct IP address has

been assigned to the instrument by the network server. If an incorrect IP address has been assigned contact your system administrator; or use a Fixed IP address.

Step 4. This is the IP address to use in your web browser to access the Web Interface.

From here you can jump to the section

You cannot change the values of the DHCP IP address. The LEFT button returns the operator to the Ethernet TCP/IP Menu.

Chapter 4

•

Page 35

Fixed IP Configuration Using the Front Panel

The HI 6300 series instrument can be configured to use any Fixed IP address. The Fixed IP addresses must be carefully selected to avoid accidentally configuring two devices to the same address with unpredictable results. Since ‘guessing’ a value could lead to personal or property damage and/or interrupted network services, your network administrator should provide this address.

Read-only screens can display a limited number of characters per line. To see the complete IP address in DHCP, you need to do the following:

Step 1. Press the CONFIG button to enter the Configuration menu; and use the UP or

DOWN buttons to select the Communication menu, then use the UP or DOWN buttons to select the Ethernet TCP/IP menu item and press the RIGHT or ENTER button to access the Ethernet TCP/IP menu.

Step 2. Select the Fixed IP menu item.

Step 3. Starting at the right-most digit, enter the IP number using the standard format. Use

the

UP or DOWN buttons to select each number, and press the LEFT or

RIGHT button to move between numbers.

Step 4.

Press the ENTER button to save the entry.

Step 5. Use the LEFT button to exit the menu structure.

Step 6. The IP address is now saved and the instrument’s embedded Web browser is now

It must have the same network identifier as the computer

•

It must have a different node identifier than the computer.

If your Windows PC already had an IP address assigned, simply increment by one the Node Identifier field of the IP Address you wrote down in the Windows PC configuration steps above. If your Windows PC was originally set to automatically obtain an IP address (DHCP), use 192.168.100.50 for the HI 6300 IP address.

Chapter 4

•

PARAMETERNUMBER=PARAMETERVALUE

For example, send the command 00000090 to read the gross weight value. The response will be something like: Gross = 10.3 To set a parameter, send a command like 0000000D = 0.5 - this command sets the Motion Tolerance parameter to 0.5

See the Operation/Diagnostics/Parameters web page for a list of parameter numbers.

The HI 6300 series instrument has only 1 TCP/IP socket available for this command interface, so only 1 master can connect, say using HYPERTERMINAL Telnet. There is no such limit with UDP – any number of masters can send UDP commands.

Modbus Functions

The Modbus functions allowed in the HI 6300 are: Function 3: Modbus Read Holding Registers Function 4: Modbus Read Input Registers Function 6: Modbus Write Single Register Function 16 (0x10): Modbus Write Multiple Registers.

Modbus Registers

This instrument has 64 16-bit MODBUS input registers and 64 16-bit output registers. The data in these registers is in "big endian" format, meaning that the most significant byte comes first.

•

The first 6 registers (0 – 5) are used for the “command interface” in the unit.

•

Registers 6 & 7 will contain the Net weight in 32 bit floating point format.

•

Registers 8 & 9 will contain the Gross weight in 32 bit floating point format.

•

Registers 10 and 11 will contain the statusword

•

Registers 12 and 13 (HI 6310 only) are for the count function.

Network Command Interface

Example 4: 12345.01

Example 5: 0

Example 6:

2345.01

In example 4, the LEFT button is used to select the 10000 value, in example 5 the DOWN button is used to decrement the value to 0, and in example 6 the value is removed to change the original value from 12345.10 to the new value of 2345.01

Once the correct value has been entered, the ENTER button is pressed to accept the value and the left button will return the user to the next higher level in the menu hierarchy.

When a menu item, such as user ID or password enables the use of alphanumeric characters, the process is similar to entering a numeric value with additional characters available when you use the UP/DOWN buttons as shown below.

0→1→…….→9→a→b→…….→z→0

In this example a 4 character security code is entered, and in place of the value being display, four entry boxes are displayed as in example 7.

Example 7: □ □ □ □

Example 8: a 0 z 9

As in the numeric example, the UP button increments from 0 through 9, then the alphabet letters a through z, then back to 0, while the DOWN button decrements from 9 through 0, then the alphabet letters z through a, and back to 9.

Once the last alphanumeric digit has been entered as shown in example 8, pressing the ENTER button will unlock the keypad if the code entered matches the code in memory.

Filter Parameter Menu

There are two parameters in the Filter menu

•

NumAverages (Number of Averages)

•

WAV E RS AV E R

NumAverages Parameter

The value you enter for NumAverages (the Number of Averages) sets the number of weight readings used to compute a sliding average of displayed weight. This helps reduce the effects of material impact and/or vibration if material does not enter or exit the scale evenly. This setting helps the instrument ignore the effects of material impact and/or vibration.

Applications requiring very quick weight readings should reduce this setting to its minimum. If the weight is unstable, increase the averages. The HI 6300 series instrument does 55 updates per second, which translates to an update approximately every 18 milliseconds. If you average enough weight readings, the weight loss or gain remains smooth. If you average the weight too much you can cause over filling.

Also see

WAVERSAVER for information on filtering unstable weight readings.

RANGE:1-250 (default 10)

On the

Web page

, select the Filter menu selection and enter the value for the number of readings to factor into the average. Our example (for illustration only) has set 10 for Number of Averages. Yours will vary depending on your application.

WAVERSAVER® Parameter

Typically, mechanical noise (from other machinery in a plant environment) is present in forces larger than the weight variations you want to detect. WAVERSAVER® reduces the effects of the vibratory forces that exist in all industrial weight control and measurement applications so the device can better calculate the actual weight. WAVERSAVER enables the Weight Controller to distinguish between actual weight data and mechanical noise, both of which are typically conveyed in the load cell signal. WAVERSAVER can be configured to ignore noise with frequencies as low as 1.0 Hz. One of three higher additional cut off frequencies may be selected to provide a faster instrument response time. The function is user selectable and can be turned off.

RANGE: 1.0 Hz, 3.50 Hz, 7.50 Hz, OFF (default 1.0 Hz)

Calibration

Chapter 6 describes C2, eCAL and traditional calibration procedures. For the Weight Controller to give precise readings, it must be routinely calibrated both during operation or when it has not used for an extended period of time. It is important that users and service personnel be familiar with the procedures in this chapter before installing or operating the HI 6300 series instrument.

All calibration is done in the Gross mode. Be sure to follow all the procedures completely to insure that the weights read by the controller are accurate.

In some incidents it is better to verify a calibration than just re-do the calibration. If during the scale verification, it is found to be out of calibration, check for damage and a mechanical problem. When all checks OK, then recalibrate. Perform a calibration and perform a scale verification. No calibration process ensures the load cells are functioning or installed correctly.

lways verify your scale after any calibration and maintenance routine.

NOTE

Do not perform a calibration while an application is in operation.

Pre-Calibration Procedures

Verify that the load cells have been properly installed.

•

Refer to your load cell operations and installation manual for proper installation instructions.

•

On some sensors and cells an arrow 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.

Check for binding on the Load Cell or other parts of the weighing system.

WARNING -

•

Page 92

A load cell must be mounted so that 100% of the load (Vessel w/Contents) passes vertically

through the load cell.

Verify 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. Verify that nothing is in contact with the scale/vessel other than service wires and piping that have been properly mounted with flexible connections. Flexible pipes are not to be used in any other than the horizontal plane and are not to be used to correct pipe alignment problems. Vertical or at angles other than vertical will have an affect on the scales ability to repeat and provide accurate weight readings.

Electrical Check Procedures

Load Cell/Point Input/Output Measurements

The HI 6300 series instrument is designed to supply 5 VDC excitation to as many as four 350-Ohm load cells/points per channel. The expected output from each load cell/point will depend on the mV/V rating of the load cell/point and the weight.

For example, a 2mV/V load cell/point will respond with a maximum of 10 mVDC at the load sensor’s full weight capacity, which includes the weight of the vessel and the weight of the product as measured by the load cell/point. Thus, if the load cell/point weight capacity is rated at 1000 pounds, the load cell/point will be 10 mVDC at 1000 pounds, 7.5 mVDC at 750 pounds, 5 mVDC at 500 pounds and so on.

•

Chapter 6

•

Page 93

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 pounds.

The operating range for the scale in this example is 5-10 mVDC with a 500 pound weight range. Note that after zeroing the instrument, the 0 reading 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 voltmeter at the load cell connector on the front of the module or by using INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN with a Hardy IT Junction Box. The scale calibration must be completed to enable IT to function correctly.

Load Check

Place a load (weight) on the scale or vessel, and check to see if the weight reading on the input table changes in the proper direction.

For example, if the display reads 100 pounds and a 20-pound weight is placed on the vessel or scale, the display should read 120 or some value over 100. With the display reading 100 pounds, if a 20-pound load is placed on the vessel or scale and the reading is 80 pounds, the reading is going in the wrong direction and indicates some problem with the system.

If the display reads improperly or shows no change, something is wrong with the setup. If the display changes weight in the proper direction, remove the weight and proceed to calibrate the instrument. Refer to Chapter 9 on troubleshooting for additional help to determine the cause of the poor weight reading.

C2 & eCAL Electronic Calibration

C2 or eCAL, Electronic Calibration, calibrates a scale system electronically without using certified test weights. It can use up to 2 junction boxes with up to 4 load cells per junction box, interconnect cable and an instrument with C2 capabilities, such as the HI 6300 series instrument. Digital information within a Hardy C2 or eCAL-certified load sensor details its unique performance characteristics. The HI 6300 series instrument reads the performance characteristics of each load sensor and detects the number of load sensors in the system.

Before running C2 eCAL calibration, run all of the pre-calibration procedures. Make sure you have configured the HI 6300 series instrument. This includes setting the units, decimal point, NumAverages etc. For instructions please see the Chapter on Instrument Configuration.

Gravitation Correction

Objects weigh about 0.5% less at the equator than they weigh at each pole because the force of gravity is less at the equator than at the poles. For example an object weighing 100 pounds at the North Pole on a spring scale would weigh 99.65 pounds at the equator.

Calibration

•

Page 94

Depending on the latitude of your location, your scales would measure somewhere in between. The table below shows the gravitation correction factor for a few cities around the world.

NOTE

Ensure that the scale system is clean and ready to r eceive pr oduct. This step establishes the gross zer o reference.

You must perform a C2 Calibration after setting the Gravity

Correction or the correction factor won’t work.

In general if your location is between the 45th parallel and the equator, gravity correction is greater than 1.0. For example, at these latitudes, because the gravity is less, you are adding, 1.0006 for an error that is .06%). For locations between the 45th parallel and the North or South Pole your correction factor will be less than 1.0. For example .9994 for an error that is -.06%.
