Used in new applications, or to retrofit
volumetric feeders or replace outdated
controllers in gravimetric systems, Hardy’s
HI 4060 loss-in-weight rate controller
controls many feeding devices, such as
auger, vibratory and belt-based feeders, as
well as your proprietary designs.

AUTOMATIC WEIGHT AND RATE
CALIBRATION
A five-point auto rate calibration automatically
allows the HI 4060 to calibrate itself to the feed
characteristics of the feeder and the material
being fed. This allows for a higher feed accuracy
over a broader range of feed rates.

MODULARITY AND EASE OF
INSTALLATION
Configure your HI 4060 rate controller to suit
your specific application:
•t With or without display
•t DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP,
Profibus, or Allen Bradley® Remote I/O
•t Panel, DIN rail, remote or wall mount
•t Either AC or DC power
No special tools are required for installation.
Just drill or punch standard holes in your panel
and attach the front panel keyboard display.
The rate controller housing can be attached to
the rear of the panel or remotely, up to 100
feet away to a DIN rail.

MULTIPLE CONFIGURATION STORAGE
The HI 4060 lets you store set-up and calibrations
in hundreds of dedicated, on-board memory
locations, for easy and fast configuration retrieval
and change. Configurations are also automatically
stored in the Secure Digital Memory Module (SMMSD) card, letting you easily transfer data from one
instrument to another, or view that data on your PC.

EASE OF SET-UP
You can quickly access menus to set up process
weight and rate parameters from the controller’s
front panel keys and LCD display. The HI 4060’s
embedded web server also gives you remote
access to control information and instrument
parameters. The rate controller will watch your process and notify you of problems. Display Prompts
and alarm relay outputs occur with tolerance errors
and other failures. By entering specific control
parameters, you decide at which levels to alarm or
shut down the application. You can also assign
three different security levels to each function.

MULTIPLE FEEDER CONTROL
The HI 4060 is a powerful building block when it
comes to multiple feeder systems. It can act as a
master to multiple controllers or as a slave to other
HI 4060s, HI 4050s or other process inputs. Let
multiple DIN-rail HI 4060s be controlled from a
common host computer or programmable
controller.
CORE TECHNOLOGIES
WAVERSAVER® ignores vibration and mechanical
noise in feeders and the plant environment. C2®
electronic calibration enables fast, accurate,
electronic calibration of your system, saving start-up
costs and aggravation. Used in conjunction with an
IT Junction Box, INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN® (IT)
allows you to troubleshoot and diagnose your
weighing system right from the instrument’s front
panel or a web browser. You can read individual load
sensor voltages and weights, make comparisons, and
isolate individual system components.
