Hardy Web Tech

We have implemented Hardy Web Tech, our new Online
Tech Support Knowledge Base, to serve your tech support
needs better than ever before. Hardy Web Tech helps you
immediately find answers to your technical questions. Just
type in your question and see if your answer exists in our
knowledgebase, which is populated by interactions with cus-
tomers like you.

You can also create your personalized support page, and
your own support section that you can access 24/7. You can
even view and update your entire call history, as well as
maintain your profile containing your product and system
information, so we can more effectively meet your needs.

Last, but not least, we invite all user feedback. Click on the
"Provide Feedback" link to let us know how we're doing!

do you like our new support site? Anything! Your comments

are important and will help us shape the future direction of
our products.

Connectivity

All HI 3000 Series products enable the user to use the select-
able 10/100 base T Ethernet port or use its embedded web
server to link performance, diagnostics and setup data to and
from your intranet, extranet, VPN or the internet. Receive
alarms via e-mail or over WAP enabled devices including
cellular phones. A DeviceNet interface allows multiple
applications to be viewed and controlled from a display and
additional 3rd party I/O to be easily added to the filling/dis-
pensing system. The controller has a single RS-232 serial
port configured as a printer port.

Setup Wizards

Setup Wizards enable the user to walk through the instru-
ment set up. On-board Help files are just a key press or click
away.

Mapped I/O

Mapped I/O saves wiring costs by distributing the I/O where
you need it, at the process or in the control room. The con-
troller is a DeviceNet Scanner and the DeviceNet Scan table

is configured using RS Networx

®

. Optional interfaces for

Allen-Bradley Remote I/O, Profibus and Analog provide

communications to PLC and DCS systems.

WAVERSAVER

®

Typically, mechanical noise (from other machinery in a plant
environment) is present in forces larger than the weight
forces trying to be detected. The HI 3010 is fitted with

WAVERSAVER

®

technology which eliminates the effects of

vibratory forces present in all industrial weight control and
measurement applications. By eliminating the factor of
vibratory forces the controller is capable of identifying the

actual weight data. WAVERSAVER

®

can be configured

from the front panel to ignore noise with frequencies as low
as 0.25 Hz. One of four higher additional cut off frequencies
may be selected to provide a faster instrument response time.
The default factory configuration is 0.50 Hz vibration fre-
quency immunity.

C2

®

Calibration

C2

®

Second Generation Calibration enables a scale system

to be calibrated electronically without using certified test
weights which equals the systems load capacity. A C2
weighing system consists of up to eight load sensors, a junc-
tion box, interconnect cable and an instrument with C2 capa-
bilities, such as the Filler/Dispenser/IBC. All Hardy
Instruments C2 certified load sensors contain digital infor-
mation detailing its unique performance characteristics. The
Hardy Filler/Dispenser/IBC reads the performance charac-
