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 Toolbox saves time, increases accuracy, improves efficiency or reduces risk in process weighing applications.
The HI 6600 includes the Toolbox functions discussed below.
C2® and eCal™ Calibration
Traditional calibration uses certified test weights. C2® (or eCAL™ as it is called in China) 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 WPM, a junction box, interconnect cable, and an instrument with C2 capabilities (e.g., the HI 6600 series
instrument).
Page | 13
HI 6600 Series Modular Sensor System User Guide
Each Hardy Process Solutions C2-certified load sensor outputs digital information used for calculating the calibration.
When the HI 6600 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).
INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN
In conjunction with an IT junction box, the HI 6600 seri es fe at ures I NTE G R ATED TECHNICIAN® (IT), a system
diagnostics program that makes it possible to diagnose weighing system problems from Hardy’s Web Server or a
connected optional display panel. IT reads individual load sensor voltages and weights and isolates individual system
components for quick and easy troubleshooting
NOTE:
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.
While WAVERSAVER can factor out noise with frequencies as low as 0.25 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.
If you do not have a Hardy IT Junction Box connected to the HI 6600, the weight reading is the total for all load cells

Cabling the Units Together
Once the units are all placed on a DIN rail, connect them together in a series using the RJ45 ports on the bottom of the
units and Cat5e cable.
The Cat5e cabling carries communications between the modules and distributes power from the Hardy Gateway Module
to the Weigh Processing Modules.
Redundant DC power may also be supplied individually to each Weight Processing Module via the DC power input
terminal located on the bottom of the module. DC power supplied to individual Weight Processing Modules is isolated
and not distributed to other modules on the system.
At minimum, DC power must be supplied to the Gateway Module.
The maximum distance between the first and last module on a system is 500 feet (150 meters).

The system can be set-up, calibrated and operated either through the built-in Webserver or through an optional
front panel display. The menu structure above may be followed using either interface.
Using the Webserver
To use the Webserver, a connection must first be established between the Hardy Gateway Module and a connect
PC. The following steps will assist in establishing a connection:
1) Connect an Ethernet cable between the RJ45 port located on the front of the HI 6600 Gateway Module’s
RJ45 and a PC then power up the instrument. A cross-over cable is not required, but can be used.
2) The instrument will auto-negotiate settings suitable for a variety of operating systems and network
configurations. Wait approximately 15 seconds and check to see if the green light of the Ethernet port is
on and blinking – if so, skip to step 8 – you are connected.
3) If the green light on the Ethernet port does not light up, use the Optional Display to check that the unit’s
Enable DHCP is turned off and follow steps 4 through 8 If an optional display is not available, please call
Hardy Tech Support for further assistance.
4) Using the unit’s Fixed IP address (the default is 192.168.000.100), the PC must now be assigned a unique
IP address (for example, 192.168.000.101)
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.
5) On a PC running windows, open Internet Properties (TCP/IP).
Click in the ‘Use the Following IP Address’ checkbox; then enter the following into the TCP/IP Properties
dialog.
•
IP Address = 192.168.0.101
•
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.000
6) Select OK on the TCP/IP Properties dialog box. The computer is now configured.
7) Enter the HI 6600 HGM’s IP address into the Windows PC Web browser to access the embedded web
browser. For example: http://192.168.000.100

Channel Identification
System Discovery
Once the HI 6600 Series Modular Sensor System is installed, connected and powered, a discovery process is
required to allow the Hardy Gateway Module to identify all Weight Processing Modules present on the HardyNet.
This discovery process can be initiated in a number of ways and should be used each time the HardyNet syste m is
changed. Examples of changes are removing a module from the system or adding a new module to the system.
The system initiates a discovery process that enables the Gateway Module to identify and track changes to the
Weight Processor Modules connected on the HardyNet. The discovery process can also be initiated manually by
selecting Start Discovery under the HardyNet sub-menu of the HI 6600 Gateway Module.
Discovered Weight Processing Modules are added to a list that is saved in non-volatile memory of the Gatew a y
Module. The discovery process is designed to only add units that are not alread y saved in memory. If a Weight
Processing Module has been physically removed or disconnected from the system, it must be manually deleted
from the list of available modules by selecting Delete Channel. A module that is accidentally deleted can be
discovered again by power cycling the Gateway Module or again by manually selecting Start Discovery
The number of Weight Processor Modules discovered (ie: channels of weight) connected to the system will be
displayed as Discovered units: XX on the Web Browser as shown below or listed in the Discovery section of the
optional front panel display once the process is complete.
Using the Webserver (shown below) is recommend for initial system set-up and changes to a system with a large
number of channels.
