Channel Identification
System Discovery
Once the HI 6600 Series Modular Sensor System is installed, connected and powered, a discovery process is
required to allow the Hardy Gateway Module to identify all Weight Processing Modules present on the HardyNet.
This discovery process can be initiated in a number of ways and should be used each time the HardyNet system is
changed. Examples of changes are removing a module from the system or adding a new module to the system.
The system initiates a discovery process that enables the Gateway Module to identify and track changes to the
Weight Processor Modules connected on the HardyNet. The discovery process can also be initiated manually by
selecting Start Discovery under the HardyNet sub-menu of the HI 6600 Gateway Module.
Discovered Weight Processing 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 Weight
Processing 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 power cycling the Gateway Module or again by manually selecting Start Discovery
The number of Weight Processor 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.
Using the Webserver (shown below) is recommend for initial system set-up and changes to a system with a large
number of channels.
