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 6500 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 eight load cell sensors per channel, a two junction boxes, interconnect cable, and an instrument with C2 capabilities (e.g., the HI 6500 series instrument). Each Hardy Process Solutions C2-certified load sensor outputs digital information used for calculating the calibration. When the HI 6500 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).

NOTE

INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN

In conjunction with an IT junction box, the HI 6500 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 6500, the weight reading is the total for all load cells on the system.

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 weight processor can better decipher the actual weight data.

WAVERSAVER can factor out noise with frequencies as low as 0.25 Hz or as high as 7.5 Hz. Five cut-off frequencies can be selected, with higher frequencies providing a faster response time. The default factory setting is 1.00 Hz vibration frequency immunity.

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:

sensor in the system to see if the load sensor might be causing the problem.

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

each Hardy load cell during a C2 calibration when zero is used as the reference. Later when the test is run it measures and compares the voltage with zero weight out from each load cell to the stored value and indicates either a pass or fail. This test insures the integrity of the weighing system.

Network Configuration

Chapter Four contains step-by-step instructions for configuring Hardy HI 6500 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 also explains how to either configure the HI 6500 series instrument from its own front panel or with a PC-based Web interface connected to the HI 6500 series instrument over a standard Ethernet network. The features of the HI 6500 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 6500series Weight 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 Webserver in the HI 6500 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 6500 series instrument and your desktop / laptop computer.

The HI 6500 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 6500 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 6500 series instrument to your computer:

LAN Connection: Connect the HI 6500 series instrument to an existing Ethernet-

Direct Connection

section below.

Network Configuration

•

LAN Connection

To connect the HI 6500 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.

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.

NOTE

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

Using the Front Panel

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

Direct Connect Configuration - HI 6500 Series Instrument

The HI 6500 must now be assigned a unique IP address that will connect to the Windows PC. There are two simple rules for the IP Address:

•

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 6500 IP address.

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 6500 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.

For a full list of command parameters, please see the “Default Parameter IDs and Values” on page 106 at the end of Chapter 5.

OUTPUT Table Description

The first four variables in the output table, Command, Aux Command Information, Parameter ID, and Parameter Value, are used to send commands to the instrument, write new parameter values, read existing parameter values, or read data values such as COUNT, or ROC, etc.

The Command is a 32 bit value, with the top 8 bits indicating the channel (instrument) number if required, the next 8 bits are reserved, and the bottom 16 bits are used for the command string as shown below.

EtherNet/IP

™

EtherNet/IP, short for Ethernet Industrial Protocol, is an open industrial networking standard that takes advantage of commercial, off-the-shelf Ethernet communication chips and media. Ethernet technology enables the user to access device-level data from the Internet. The EtherNet/IP networking standard supports both implicit messaging (real-time I/O messaging) and explicit messaging (message exchange). EtherNet/IP is an open network that takes advantage of Commercial technology that already exists. EtherNet/IP is a trademark of ODVA.

IP is the transport and network layer protocol of the Internet and is commonly linked with all Ethernet installations and the business world. IP provides a set of services that any two devices can use to share data.

Once you have the Ethernet TCP/IP setup, there is no other configuration needed through either the web page or the front panel for the Ethernet/IP setup in the HI 6500.

Refer to the I/O tables in the previous section for an understanding of the data and format for the EtherNet/IP communications.

If you are connecting to an Allen-Bradley® Control Logix PLC®, the following is the setup parameters needed in the I/O configuration of the PLC to communicate with the HI 6500.

Modbus TCP

If there is a problem with the connection between the PLC and the HI 6500, recheck the IP addresses used and the setup parameters in the PLC I/O configuration.

The read-only Connected entry confirms that the 6500 is connected to the network. If the instrument is not connected to the network, a message appears saying “Not Connected.” Check the EtherNet/IP connection at the rear of the instrument to make sure it is securely fastened to the EtherNet/IP port.

MODBUS is an application layer messaging protocol used to support client / server communications between devices connected on different types of buses or networks. All the HI 6500 series units have Modbus TCP built-in..There is no setup in the HI 6500 unit to configure the Modbus TCP.

Refer to the I/O tables in previous section for an understanding of the data and format for the Modbus TCP communications.

If you do not have a Modbus PLC available to test the Modbus communications, then you can download the Hardy Modbus Link test software from the Hardy Web site at http://www.hardysolutions.com. This program can be found currently on the HI 4050 products page under the Docs & Programs tab.

Installing the Hardy Modbus-Link Test Package:

If you do not have a PLC or other client, Hardy has provided the Hardy Modbus-Link Client to test communications with the HI 6500 unit. This client package only communicates with the unit and is not a full communications package. If you have problems with this test, contact Hardy Technical Support. Double click the Hardy Modbus-Link .exe file to install the software on your PC. Upon completion, a Hardy Modbus-Link icon appears on your Desktop.

Modbus services are specified by function codes that are elements of MODBUS request / reply PDUs. MODBUS is implemented for the HI 6500 using TCP/IP over Ethernet. The Client/Server definitions are as follows:

•

Chapter 4

•

NOTE

•

Client - The module asking for data.

•

Server - The module providing the data.

MODBUS is positioned at level 7 of the OSI model and is accessed at a reserved system port 502 on the TCP/IP stack. It will support communication with up to 10 different hosts (sockets).

Configuring MODBUS

Step 1. Click the Hardy Modbus-Link icon to open the Hardy Modbus-Link display.

Step 2. Click Connect n the Connection pull-down menu, to display the TCP/IP

Profibus-DP

The Profibus®-DP (Decentralized Peripherals) communication profile is designed for efficient field-level data exchange. Central automation devices, such as PLC/PC or process control systems, communicate through a fast serial (RS-485) connection with distributed field devices, e.g. PLCs. To begin communicating weighing parameters between an HI 6000 Series controller and a PLC, PC or DCS system controller, you need only to load the *.GSD file and set the node address.

Wiring

For Profibus, connect the two wires to pins 3 and 4.

Profibus Configuration

Profibus-DP operates using a cyclic transfer of data between master(s) and slave(s) on an RS-485 network. An assigned master periodically requests (polls) each node (slave) on the network. The HI 6500 or HI 6510 is a slave device. All data communication exchanges between a master and the HI 6500 or 6510 originate from the master device. Each HI 6500 or HI 6510 is assigned to one master and only that master may write output data to that HI 6500 or HI 6510. Other masters may read information from any slave, but can only write output data to their own assigned slaves.

Because Profibus uses a cyclic (periodic) polling mechanism between masters and slaves, it is also deterministic. Therefore, behavior of a Profibus system can be reliably predicted over time. Profibus is designed to guarantee a deterministic response.

The length (and timing) of the I/O data to be transferred from a single slave to a master is predefined in the slave's device data base or GSD file. The GSD files of each device connected via the network (slaves and class 1 masters only) are compiled into a master parameter record which contains parameterization and configuration data, an address allocation list, and the bus parameters for all connected stations. A master uses this information to set up communication with each slave during startup. Slaves can only acknowledge the messages they receive or transfer messages to a master when the latter requests a slave to do so. Slaves are also designated as passive nodes.

Refer to the section, “ an understanding of the data and format for the Profibus communications.

•

NOTE

Profibus Node Address #5 is the lowest number that can be used by a slave device.

Step 2. Select termination drop down and select termination condition. Termination

maybe be set to Enable, Disable or Link. Link means that the termination is set on or off depending on whether pin 2 of the connector is low (on) or high (off). There is an internal pull up on pin 2 that will set the termination off if nothing is connected to it.

Step 3. Click Save Parameters to save the entry.

Step 4. You can also read the communication status of the instrument.

Step 5. Click Home to return to the Home Page.

Initialization Process

To be able to add an HI 6500 OR HI 6510 to a Profibus-DP network, you need a PC or a PLC and software such as Siemens Step 7™, Simatic Manager or equivalent, that allows the Profibus-DP PLC and the HI 6500 or HI 6510 to exchange data

Profibus-DP .GSD File

All devices connected to a Profibus-DP network require a *.gsd file. The *.gsd file contains all the parameters including the baud rate, table formats and necessary data required by the network PLC when an HI 6500 or HI 6510 is connected to the network.

You must download the proper *.GSD file from the Hardy website.

Step 1. Navigate from the products section to the HI 6500 web page.

Step 2. Click on the Tab, Docs & Programs and scroll down to Documents and Programs.

Select the *.GSD option to download the file.

Regardless of Simatic Manager you use, you must go through these three steps:

Step 1. Connect the HI 6500 Series Instrument to the Profibus DP network and verify the

address. (See the Installation Section for Installation and Cabling Instructions.)

Step 2. Step 2. Connect the PC to the Trunk Line. Load the configuration properties to the

initialization software on the PC and transfer them to the PLC.

Step 3. Step 3. Install the *.gsd file.

Pre-Initialization Procedures

Step 1. Inspect the network cables and make sure that the cables have been installed

correctly and satisfy the Profibus-DP guidelines for the data transmission baud rate(s) required. (See the Cabling Chapter/Profibus Installation in this manual for Profibus-DP cable specifications and cabling guidelines.)

Step 2. Select the Node address for the HI 6500 or HI 6510. as shown above. This can be

done before or after Initialization.

Step 3. Cycle power, or perform the two previous steps before powering up your network.

Address selection can only occur after cycling the power. Make sure that the software you use will detect the values as you have set them.

CAUTION: The address should never be changed during operation. if the address is modified while on line, an internal error could be generated and the instrument disconnected from the network.

ATTENTION L’adresse ne devrait jamaisêtre changée durant le fonctionnement. Si l’adresse est modifiée pendant la miseen ligne, une erreur interne pourrait être créée et le module sera déconnecté du réseau.

Step 4. Complete any additional configuration that is required by your PLC for

initialization. Our initialization example is for a Siemens PLC. Your PLC initialization requirements may differ.

Chapter 5

•

At the lowest level of the menu hierarchy, you may need to enter a numeric value (which could represent a tolerance), or an Ethernet IP address or an alphanumeric value (such as those used for entering a user ID or a security password).

When a parameter value is selected, either the current value is displayed or a 0 (zero) is displayed. In either case, a flashing underscore is generated under the least significant digital or character.

The LEFT and RIGHT buttons move the cursor left and right within the numeric value or character set. In the following three number examples the cursor starts under the 300 value, the LEFT button moves the cursor under the 2000 value in example 2, and in example 3 the RIGHT button moves the cursor under the 40 value.

Example 1: 12345.01

Example 2: 12

Example 3: 1234

345.01

5.01

The UP and DOWN arrows are used to change the displayed digit.

0→1→2→3→4→5→6→7→8→9→.→ →0

The UP button increments from 0 through 9, then the decimal point, space, and back to 0, while the DOWN button decrements from 9 through 0, then the space, decimal point and back to 9.

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. In example 6, then 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.

C2 (eCal) Commands and Parameters

Cal Tolerance Parameter

Sometimes, the contents of the vessel you are weighing are in motion. Cal Tolerance allows you to set a value that determines the amount of motion that the system can tolerate and still calibrate. In other words, the value you enter for Calibration Tolerance sets the amount of deviation to allow during the calibration process. This value must be greater than or equal to the base motion value and/or the Graduation Sizes.



The base motion value can be calculated by using the following formula:

Base Motion value = (Total Load Cell Capacity x 0.0003)

RANGE: .000001 - 999999 (default 10)

Another way to determine what this value should be is to multiply the fluctuation from peak to peak and multiply this amount by two

The EIP diagnostic parameters count the number of packets of various types received (in) or transmitted (out).

TCP in 24

TCP out 22

UDP out 9

UDP in 9

UDP IO in 0

UDP IO out 0

PCCC in 0

PCCC out 0

TCP is used for most explicit or unconnected messages. The usual sort of EtherNet/IP connection is one in which packets are sent and received at some specified RPI (requested packet interval). These packets are sent and received via UDP and show up in the "UDP IO" count variables. It takes a few TCP packets to set up this connection, and these packets show up in the TCP counters.

Finally, there are some older PLCs like the 1746 and PLC-5 that lack a full implementation of EtherNet/IP, and cannot support a cyclic connection. These PLCs sometimes use an older protocol called PCCC, and the PCCC variables count the number of PCCC messages received or sent.

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 6500 series instrument does 110 updates per second, which translates to an update approximately every 9 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.

•

On the

HI 6500 series instrument display

, select the Filter menu and use the UP or DOWN button to select the NumAverages menu item. The current value will be displayed, press the ENTER or the RIGHT button if this value needs to be modified.

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 Processor 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 0.25 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: 0.25 Hz, 0.5 Hz, 1.0 Hz, 3.50 Hz, 7.50 Hz, OFF (default 1.0 Hz)

Chapter 1 describes the benefits of using the WAVERSAVER feature.
