THE HARDY PROCESS
TOOLBOX

How important is using a Hardy Check Weighing system in your process?

The Hardy Process Toolbox is a set of
productivity tools that provide value for
process weighing functions. Each tool saves
time, increases accuracy, PRODUCTIVITY
improves efficiency or
reduces risk in process
weighing applications.

Your system produces 250 packs per minute with an uptime of 85% a year.
Overfill is 2 grams per pack.
Product cost of $0.001 per gram.
Overfill cost per year = $223,380
Reduction of just 1 gram overfill per pack =$111,690 savings per year.

The high speed HI 4050CW check weighing
system can process up to 250 high resolution
(1:30:000) weight measurements per second. The
4050CW consists of a special version of the
HI 4050 weight controller connected to up to
four analog load cells and a Hardy junction box
or a to a high speed Digital Sensor Point (DSP)
via a digital interface card. The HI 4050CW is
perfect for building new systems for either static or
dynamic check weighing or retrofitting the weight
electronics of older, less reliable systems.
The 4050CW breaks the traditional analog strain
gauge “speed barrier”, without the cost of MFR
(Magnetic Force Restoration or other similar high
speed/resolution technologies) yet it still delivers
accuracies of up to 0.01% of full sensor capacity.
OPEN PLATFORM: A HI 4050CW system is made
of Commercially Available Off the Shelf (COTS)
parts that are easy to understand, maintain and
troubleshoot. Connect to your plant-wide system
using standard protocols such as EtherNet/IP
,
Devicenet, ControlNet, Allen-Bradley® Remote
I/O, Profibus-DP Modbus TCP/IP or Analog.

,
It features a lower Total Cost of Ownership

because it's simple to use, calibrate, integrate,
and maintain. A Rockwell Add-On-Profile makes
it easy to configure with RSLogix.
AUTOMATIC EDGE DETECTION: Smart features of
the HI 4050CW include EDGE detection, an
algorithm that optimizes when weight readings
are captured:
•t Automatic EDGE detection starts weight
processing the instant a load settles onto the
scale by monitoring changes in the signal
waveform from connected load point.
•t Also works in conjunction with up to two
additional external sensors such as photo-eyes
to optimize process timing of weight readings.
DIGITAL CERAMIC SENSOR: The Hardy
ADVANTAGE® DSP is a high speed, high
resolution, shock resistant sensor designed for
industrial applications re- quiring a fast, accurate
and repeatable response to changes in weight.
ANALOG: Connect the HI 4050CW to up to
four ADVANTAGE® load points and a Hardy
IT junction box for high speed, high resolution
weight readings compatible with C2 calibration.
