Hardy Process Solutions Weight Processing Module

Hardy Process Solutions HI6610-WP Weight Processing Module

The Hardy Process Solutions HI6610-WP is an advanced, high-density weight processing module designed for seamless integration into industrial automation systems. As a key component of the HI 6600 Modular Sensor System, the HI6610-WP processes signals from up to four connected load cells, delivering fast and stable weight data to PLCs, PACs, or DCSs over a single fieldbus network. This compact, DIN-rail mounted module features Hardy’s exclusive Process Toolbox, including WAVERSAVER technology to eliminate the effects of mechanical vibration and C2 electronic calibration for rapid, weightless system setup. With a high update rate of 110 updates per second and energy-efficient operation, the HI6610-WP is the industry standard for multi-channel weighing applications such as tank farms, batching systems, and multi-head filling machinery.

Technical Performance and Design

• WAVERSAVER Vibration Elimination: Employs Hardy’s core technology to ignore surrounding plant vibration, providing a steady, accurate weight reading even in environments with excessive mechanical noise.

• C2 Electronic Calibration: Allows for the immediate calibration of the weighing system without the need for heavy test weights, reducing commissioning time and improving safety.

• High-Speed Update Rate: Delivers processed weight data at a rate of 110 updates per second, ensuring high-speed responsiveness for precise filling, dispensing, and batching operations.

• Ultra-Low Power Consumption: Consumes a maximum of only 1.72 Watts, allowing for high-density cabinet designs without the need for additional cooling systems.

Key Benefits & Applications

• Batching & Blending: Provides the high-resolution data required to ensure consistent ingredient ratios and repeatable product quality.

• Inventory Management: Ideal for monitoring tank farms and silos, allowing for real-time level and weight tracking across multiple channels.

• Filling & Dispensing: High update speeds enable precise "cut-off" control for gain-in-weight or loss-in-weight systems, reducing product overfill and waste.

• Integrated Technician (IT): Allows for comprehensive weighing system diagnostics and troubleshooting directly via the PLC or an embedded web server.
