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® Calibration
Traditional calibration uses certified test weights. C2® Electronic Calibration allows a scale to be calibrated without the need for test weights. A C2 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).
Each Hardy Process Solutions C2-certified load sensor outputs digital information used for calculating the

HI 6600 Series Modular Sensor System User Guide
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 660 0 seri es feat ures I NTEGRATED 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:
load cells on the system.
WAVERSAVER
When measuring small weight changes, the effects of m echanical 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

Power Requirements for Configuring Your Modular Sensor System over Distance
Distributing power over Cat5e cabling to a fully loaded HI 6600 system (up to 28WPM units, up to 28 junction boxes and up to 120 350 Ohm load cells) is beyond the current carrying ability of Cat5e cable.
Deploying a fully loaded system up to 500 feet poses no harm to the instrumentation or sensors. However, the current required can prevent the system from discovering modules that do not have enough voltage available or trip an over-current protection circuit until the condition is cleared.
Weight Processing Modules may require auxiliary power for systems consisting of a large number of channels at large distances or that use non-Hardy load cells that have varied input resistances.
Below is table 1 showing the maximum number of units of specific distances running over Cat5e without any additional power.
Page | 14
HI 6600 Series Modular Sensor System User Guide
Table 1: Maximum number of WPM Units at specific distances without Auxiliary Power
To add either distance or the maximum number of units, you will need to apply auxiliary power as shown in the following configuration scenarios.

Installation
The HI 6600 Series WPMs and HGMs are designed to be installed on a DIN rail as shown below.
The MAXIMUM span between the first and last module that comprise a system is 500 feet (150 meters). See Chapter 2 for specific recommendations on Power Requirements for Configuring
Modular Sensor Systems Over Distance.
Note: Use DIN rail conforming to EN 60715 and EN 50022.
Begin by installing the WPMs or HGMs onto the DIN rail as shown below.
1) Hook DIN rail bracket onto the DIN rail using the groove at the top of the bracket
2) Rotate the instrument down until the spring-clip comes in contact with the DIN rail, then press
firmly on the bottom on the instrument until it snaps in place.
3) While holding the front of HI 6600 series module, gently pull away from the DIN rail to verify
that it is mounted correctly.

To remove:
1) Disconnect all wiring on the underside of the modu le to expose the spring-clip slot.
Spring Clip Slot
2) Insert a flat-blade screw driver into spring-clip slot then gently lift up on the screwdriver handle, using
the back corner of the module to assist in prying the spring-clip in a downward direction.
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.
Page | 22
3) Once the spring-clip is disengaged from the DIN rail, the module will easily lift off the DIN rail.
HI 6600 Series Modular Sensor System User Guide
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 HardyNet termination switch should be turned on for the first and last units in the series. In most cases, this is the HI 6600 Gateway module and the last HI 6610 Weight Processing Module on the network. All other HI 6610-WP modules between the Gateway Module and the last weight processing module should have the termination switches turned off.
NOTES: DO NOT USE CROSS-OVER CABLES.
Port Numbers have no effect on cabling (i.e. connecting either Port 1 to Port 2 or Port 2 to Port
1) is acceptable.

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.

Channel Identification
System Discovery
Once the HI 6600 Series Modular Sensor System is physically installed, connected and powered, a discovery process is required to allow the Hardy Gateway Module to identify other modules connected to the system. HardyNet is the communication protocol that serves as a backplane to the system; distributing data, control and power to between modules.
This discovery process can be initiated in a number of ways and should be used each time the overall system is changed; for example removing a module from the system or adding a new module to the system. The discovery process enables the Gateway Module to identify and track changes of other modules present on HardyNet. The discovery process is initiated manually by selecting START DISCOVERY under the HardyNet sub-menu of the HI 6600 Gateway Module.
Discovered Modules are added to a list that is saved in non-volatile memory of the Gateway Module. The discovery process is designed to only add units that are not already saved in memory. If a 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 usi ng the START DISCOVERY function.
WARNING - Modifying channels by using the SWAP, DELETE, or REPLACE functions will alter data written to the I/O table and could affect the system operation and functionality. Use of HardyNet Security is advised to prevent unauthorized or accidental modifications to the system set-up.
HardyNet Security must be UNLOCKED in order to make modifications to a system. The default HardyNet Security password is 1111.
The number of 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. The total number of discovered units includes both modules saved in memory and any additional modules added to the system.
NOTE: Use of the Webserver (shown below) is recommended for initial system set-up and changes to a system
NOTE: The new module will appear at the end of the channel list. If need be, reassign the channel

Instrument ID
Use the Instrument ID to assign the Gateway Module with a meaningful name (such as Batching System A). Use of Instrument ID is especially useful if more than one HI 6600 system is present on a network. Select SAVE PARAMETERS write the Instrument ID into non-volatile memory.
Channel Identification
During the discovery process, new channels on the system are identified and sequenced in order of discovery, not by physical location or distance from the Gateway module; use the Channel Identify function to easily locate a module, assign an identification name or number, change its sequence order or delete it from the system. The module’s indicator light will blink green once per second when IDENTIFY ON is pressed (Webserver) or highlighted (Front Panel Display).
Naming the Weight Processing Modules
To ease identification of specific Weight Processor Modules on the system, a meaningful name (ie: Ingredient A, BIN 5 or Vessel #28) may be assigned to the module by using CHANNEL ID. Select the channel to assign a new Channel ID and click CHANGE CHANNEL, input up to a 15 character alpha-numeric identifier than click SAVE PARAMETERS to write the new channel name to non-volatile memory.
Page | 34
HI 6600 Series Modular Sensor System User Guide
Ordering the Weight Processing Modules
The order in which the channels appear in the drop down menus or on the optional front panel display may be changed by using the SWAP CHANNEL function in the web server or by selecting the channel in front panel display, pressing enter to ‘capture’ the channel, moving it by using the UP/DOWN arrows, then pressing enter again to ‘release’ the channel to its new position.
The SWAP CHANNEL function is useful when there is a desire to match the displayed channel sequence to the actual physical location of the modules on the system (ie: CH1 nearest to the Gateway Module, CH30 furthest from the Gateway).
WARNING - Modifying channels by using the SWAP function alters the assigned channel number and where its data is written the I/O table.
AVERTISSEMENT – Modification des canaux en utilisant la fonction SWAP modifie le numéro de canal attribué et où ses données sont écrites de la table I / O .
Deleting Channels
Use the DELETE function to remove an unwanted module from the system or unwanted channel information that was previously saved in the memory of the Gateway Module. This function is often used when replacing a damaged module with a new module or when deleting the presence a spare module from the drop-down menus during normal operation.
WARNING - Modifying channels by using the DELETE function alters the assigned channel number and where its data is written the I/O table.
AVERTISSEMENT – Modification des canaux en utilisant la fonction DELETE modifie le numéro de canal attribué et où ses données sont écrites de la table I / O .
Note: Remove the deleted Weight Processor Module by disconnecting the RJ45 connectors and using a screwdriver to disengage the spring-clip as shown in Chapter 3.
Replace Channel
In the event of a damaged module, the REPLACE CHANNEL function can be used to easily transfer settings from a damaged module to a new module placed on the system.
Use the following sequence:
1) Power off system
2) Remove damaged module
3) Connect replacement module
4) Power on system
5) Select REPLACE CHANNEL
The replace channel function initiates discovery and automatically transfers settings from the removed (missing) module to any new module placed on the system.
Page | 35
HI 6600 Series Modular Sensor System User Guide
WARNING - Only one channel can be replaced at a time. If more than one channel needs to be replaced, repeat the above sequence. The function will fail if more than one channel is removed at a time or more than one channel is discovered.
AVERTISSEMENT – Un seul canal peut être remplacé par un. Si plus d'un canal doit être remplacé , répéter la séquence ci-dessus. La fonction échouera si plus d'un canal est supprimé à la fois ou plus d'un canal est découvert

Capacity Parameter
Scale Capacity is the scale's nominal operating capacity (the total weight capacity of the scale system). If this value is exceeded by six graduations, dashes appear on the front display. Communications to and from optional devices are not affected.
If a Capacity value is entered which conflicts with either the decimal point value or the graduation value, the decimal point and/or graduation values are automatically modified to match the programmed capacity. It is therefore recommended that the Capacity parameter is entered first before setting the Decimal Point and Grad parameters.
RANGE: .000001 - 999999 (Default 999999).

Instrument ID
Use this parameter to assign a meaningful name to the system to make it easier to identify on a network. The assignment applies to the Gateway Module only, channels connected to the Gateway may also be assigned a name by fo llowing the Naming the Weight Processing Modules section located in the beginning of this chapter.
Motion Tolerance Parameter
The value you enter for Motion Tolerance sets the amount of deviation to allow for your process. This value must be greater than or equal to the Graduation Sizes. We recommend 3 times the graduation size.
The base motion number can be calculated by using the following formula:
Base Motion Number = (Total Load Cell Capacity x 0.0003)
RANGE: .000001 - 999999 (default 10)
On the Web page or Using the Front Panel Display: enter the value in the text box provided or input the desired motion tolerance value using the arrow keys.
Operator ID Parameter
The Operator ID is the ID of the user who is going to operate the Weight Processor or service the instrument. Select three letters or numbers or any combination of letters and numbers that adequately identifies the user.
On the Web page or Using the Front Panel Display: enter the value in the text box pro vided or input a value using the arrow keys, then pressing the enter button to save.

There are two parameters in the Filter menu
NumAverages (Number of Averages) WAVERSAVER
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 qui c k wei g ht readings should reduce this setting to its minimum. If the weight is unstable, increase the averages. The HI 6600 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
unstable weight readings.
RANGE:1-250 (default 10)
On the We b p a ge Or Using the Front Panel Display: enter the value for the number of readings to factor into the average.
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)

Electrical Check Procedures
Load Cell/Point Input/Output Measurements
The HI 6610 WPM 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 max imum 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.
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.
Page | 41
HI 6600 Series Modular Sensor System User Guide
NOTE: The operating range for the scale in this example is 5-10 mVDC with a 500 pound weight

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 (also known as eCAL) Electronic Calibration, calibrates a scale system electronically without using certified test weights. Digital information within a Hardy C2 or eCAL- certified load sensor details its unique performance characteristics. The HI 6600 series instrument reads the performance characteristics of each load sensor and detects the number of load sensors in the system.
Before running C2or eCAL calibration, run all of the pre-calibration procedures. Make sure you have configured the HI 6600 series instrument. This includes setting the units, decimal point, NumAverages etc. For instructions on setting up your instrument, please see the Chapter on Instrument Configuration.
NOTE:
command.
C2 and eCAL Calibration Sensitivity Parameter
The load cell sensitivity, defined in mV/V, sets the expected change in analog signal over the full scale range of an analo g strain gage load cell. For example if a 5 Volt excitation is applied to a load cell with a sensitivity of 2 mV/V then the full scale signal will be 10mV. To ensure that the HI 6600 optimizes the processing of the analog signal from the load cell, the load sensitivity parameter should be set to match that of the load cells being used.
Ref Weight Parameter
Reference Weight is the total live load that is currently on the scale. The calibration process uses a reference weight, which is normally zero (no weight on the scale), but can be any known weight on the scale. With nothing on the scale, the Reference Weight is 0.00. With 5 lbs on the scale, the Reference Weight is 5.00 lbs.
Ensure the Sensitivity, Reference Weight and Gravity Correction are all set prior to running C2 cal
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 foll owing formula:
Base Motion value = (Total Loa d 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 th is amount by two.
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 weigh 99.65 pounds at the equa tor.
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
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%.
Ensure that the scale system is clean and ready to receive product. This step establishes the gross zero reference. You must perform a C2 Calibration after setting the Gravity

Hard Calibration
Hard Calibration is the method of calibration that uses test weights. We recommend that the span total 80 to 100% of the scale live load capacity and the weights be distributed unifo rmly on/in the scale. Put a load (weight) on the scale or vessel. For a full load test you can put 80% to 100% of the expected weight you will see in your process on the scale or vessel.
1) Check to see if the weight reading changes on the display changes in the proper direction.
For example, 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 after a 20 pound load is placed on the vessel or scale, the reading is going in the wrong direction and indicates some problem with the system. (See Chapter on Troubleshooting for corrective action)
If the display is reading improperly or shows no change there is something wrong with the configuration wiring or the load cell.
2) If the display changes in the proper direction, remove the weight and proceed to calibrate
the Weight Processor.
Hard Cal Commands and Parameters
These commands and parameters are used when doing a Hard Cal or traditional calibration of the instrument.
Cal Lo Weight Parameter
The value you enter for Cal Lo Weight sets the lower weight value to be used when calibrating the system. The Cal Lo weight value, is normally zero (no weight on the scale), but can be set to any known weight on the scale. With nothing (zero) on the scale, the Cal Lo Weight is 0.00. With 5 lbs on the scale, the Cal Lo Weight is 5.00 lbs.
Cal Tolerance Parameter
The value you enter for Calibration Tol erance sets the amount of deviati on the instrument will allow during the calibration process. This value must be greater than or equal to the

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 registered trademark of ODVA.
IP is the transport and network layer protocol of the Internet and is commonly linked with all Eth ernet 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 Optional Front Panel for the Ethernet/IP setup in the HI 6600.

TCP is used for most explicit or unconnected messages. The usual sort of EtherNet/IP connection is one in wh ich packets are sent and received at some specified RPI (reque sted 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 SLC 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.

The Modbus Diagnostics parameters count the number of frames received by the Hardy HI 6600 series and how many of these are valid compared to error frames. In this case, the unit is correctly reporting that it is not connected and is not receiving any frames.
Installing the Hardy Modbus-Link Tes t 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 6600 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 6600 using TCP/IP over Ethernet. The Client/Server definitions are as follows:
Client - The module asking for data.
Server - The module providing the data.
NOTE:
Configuring MODBUS TCP
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 wit h up to 10 different hosts
(sockets).

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.
GND SHIELD TX+ TX­Signal
Ground
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 6600 is a slave device. All data communication exchanges between a master and the HI 6600 originate from the master device. Each HI 6600 is assigned to one master and only that master may write output data to that HI 6600. 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, “I/O Tables For Communications to PLCs,” in Appendix A for an understanding of the data and format for the Profibus communications.

Profibus-DP .GSD F ile
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 6600 is connected to the network.
Yo u must download the proper *.GSD file from the Hardy website.
1) Navigate from the products section to the HI 6600 web page.
2) Click on the Tab, Docs & Programs and scroll down to Documents and Programs.
Select the *.GSD option to download the file.
Regardless of which Simatic Manager you use, you must go through these three steps:
1) Connect the HI 6600 Series Instrument to the Profibus DP network and verify the address.
(See the Installation Section for Installation and Cabling Instructions.)
2) Connect the PC to the Trunk Line. Load the configuration properties to the
software on the PC and transfer them to the PLC.
3) Install the *.gsd file.
Pre-Initialization Procedures
1) Inspect the network cables and make sure that the cables have been installed correctly and
satisfy the Profibus-DP guidel ines for the data transm ission baud Cabling Chapter/Profibus Installation in this manual for and cabling guidelines.)
2) Select the Node address for the HI 6600 as shown above. This can be done before or
after Initialization.
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.

interface or the display panel.
Note: The Update USB Status found in web interface serves as a page refresh and should be clicked
after a USB stick is inserted.
Restore Command
This command replaces the existing HI 6600 system parameters with the parameters stored on a USB memory stick. Parameters may be removed or modified in the .txt file as required before using the restore command (for example – if only the IP address needs to be restored, erase all other parameters in the .txt file, leaving only the following: 00003101 Fixed IP=198.163.0.10 0.
The user can create a restore.txt file that will automatically be loaded if located on the USB drive at power up.
The contents for the restore.txt file can be generated in two ways.
1. Use a saved copy of the parameters on a USB stick
a. Insert a USB stick into the HI 6600 Gateway Module b. Save the parameters to a USB stick c. Connect the USB to a PC or laptop d. Find the params.txt file within the model’s sub directory (e.g. HI 6600/params.txt) e. Rename the params.txt file to restore.txt f. Remove or Modify parameters in the .txt file as required g. Save the restore.txt file back into the model’s sub directory (e.g. HI 6600/restore.txt)
2. Use a copy of the parameter.txt file from the web browser
a. Connect the instrument to a PC b. Copy the parameter.txt file from the web browser (found in the diagnostics menu) c. Rename the parameter.txt file to restore.txt d. Remove or Modify parameters in the .txt file as required e. Remove or Modify parameters as required f. Connect the USB to a PC g.

The current status and password for each level of security can be read and changed through the web browser if using an Ethernet connection, or through the serial interface.
To access or modify the security parameters through the Optional Front Panel display, a password always needs to be entered before a lock can be enabled or disabled or the password modified. Note, that as the password can be read over the network, any security password can always be over written if the local operator enters an incorrect password.

If an incorrect password is entered the menu will be returned to the security submenu.
The updated security features for the Read Only Lock and Calibration Lock will not be active until the operator leaves the security menu, any changes for the Configuration Lock, Keypad Lock, or Display Lock will not be active until the operator exits the configuration menu and returns to the top level display.

Modifying the Calibration Param eters
The calibration security locks out users from seeing any calibration parameters until you enter the correct calibration password.
To modify the calibration parameters use the UP or DOWN button to select the calibration menu and press the ENTER button. The password dialog box will appear; if the correct 4 digit alphanumeric character sequence is entered the calibration lock will be disabled until you exit the calibration menu; at which time the calibration lock will be automatically reset to the original setting.
If an incorrect password is entered the menu will return to the configuration menu.
Modifying the Read Only Parame ters
The security and calibration parameters have their own password protection. The parameters discussed in this section are those listed under communication, diagnostics, display, filter, language, operation, and setup.
With the exception of the security and calibration parameters, all parameters can be read by the operator once the operator is navigating inside the configuration menu; however the ability to change these parameters can be password protected.
If the read only password is enabled and a parameter is selected, the password dialog box will appear. If the 4 alphanumeric character sequence is entered the read only lock will be disabled until you exit the configuration menu; at which time the configuration lock will be automatically reset to the original setting.
If an incorrect password is entered, the menu will return to the configuration menu.

This chapter describes several tests that can shorten the time for troubleshooting. Most problems require the use of two or more tests to determine the cause.
If a problem is isolated to a load cell, it may not mean the load cell is the damaged component. Mechanical imbalances and system piping stress (lack of piping flexures, pressu re hoses draped over, pipes etc.) can make a load cell or Weight Processor Module seem to be the problem.
If you are in doubt as to how to resolve a problem or if you need assistance, review Hardy’s WebTech Knowledgebase at http://www.hardysolutions.com. WebTech is updated often and is available 365 days a year 24/7. It contains frequently asked questions to aid you in troubleshooting, and it provides a form for requesting additional information and answers to questions, with no waiting on hold. Located under the Support menu, select the FAQs.
