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

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.

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.

HI 6600 Series Modular Sensor System User Guide
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
