Naming the Weight Processing Modules
To ease identification of a particular Weight Processor Module, a meaningful name (ie: Ingredient C or BIN
8) may be assigned to the module by using Select Channel, Confirm Selection, then identifying the physical
location of the module by pressing Identify On/Identify Off which will cause the LED on the selected module
to blink. Once the particular module is identified, rename the module and press Save Parameters in the Web
Server or ENTER on the front panel display to save the module name into memory.
Each Weight Processor Module is assigned a channel number during the discovery process. Weight
Processor Modules are listed in the order they are discovered, not by physical position or location
on the HardyNet.
Ordering the Weight Processing Modules
The order in which the channels appear in the drop down menus or on the optional display may be changed
by using Swap Channel in the web server or by selecting the channel using the front panel of the optional
display, pressing enter to ‘capture’ the channel, moving it by using the UP/DOWN arrows, then pressing
enter again to ‘release’ the channel to its new position.
NOTE: The channel will retain its Channel Name but be reassigned a new channel number and position
on the list.
Deleting or Replacing Channels
Deleting an unwanted channel from the system is completed by selecting Delete Channel (for example when
a spare channel is connected to the system).
Parameters associated with channels remain in non-volatile memory of the Gateway Module and can
therefore be transferred to a replacement Weight Processing Module by following these steps:
1) Delete Channel of the Weight Processor Module to be removed.
2) Remove the deleted Weight Processor Module. by disconnecting the RJ45 connectors on the bottom and
lifting gently up the unit to lift it off the DIN rail
3) Place the new Weight Processor Module on the DIN Rail and connect the RJ45 connectors to reconnect
the new module to HardyNet
4) Start Discovery to find the new module. Parameters from the removed module will now be applied to
the new module.
NOTE: The new module will appear at the end of the channel list. If need be, reassign the
channel number and change its order in the list by using the Swap Channel process
described above.
Saving and Restoring Configuration Data Using the USB port
The HI6600 Gateway Module provides a USB port to save parameters to a memory stick. Parameters
can be saved, restored, copied and modified from one instrument or channel to another instrument or
channel using this feature. Details of use can be found in the USB Memory Stick section of the Network
Communications section of this manual.
