Hardy Process Solutions introduces a new product in the Hardy HI 6200 single-channel weight processor series designed for PROFINET industrial ethernet networks. Operating within PROFINET Conformance Class A (CC-A) as single network devices, the new HI 6200 series is ideal for OEMs and system integrators building machinery where accurate, stable and fast weight data are critical components to successful designs.
Ultra-compact at just two inches wide and three inches high (40 sq. cm), the HI 6200 series is designed for machine level integration in process skids or manufacturing equipment. The HI 6200 saves cabinet space to allow for high density panel design over traditional weighing instrumentation, reducing both machine cost and control cabinet footprint. A high-definition color TFT display provides intuitive operations and crisp, easy-to-read measurements and instrument status. An embedded web server makes the device easy to set-up, monitor and control from any web browser on the user’s network.
Powerful state-of-the-art 32-bit ARM core processing combined with Hardy’s Waversaver filtering technology ensures accurate, stable and fast weight readings in even the most adverse conditions where mechanical vibrations can plague process control. The color, touchscreen interface or the built-in web server allow anyone with basic scale knowledge to set up and operate the instrument without having to read a manual or receive instruction. The HI 6200 PROFINET also includes Hardy Process Toolbox, a set of Hardy exclusive productivity tools featuring C2 weightless calibration, Integrated Technician instrument diagnostics and a suite of control integration tools such as a PROFINET GSD file.
The product is suited for applications in the food and beverage, chemical processing, consumer goods packaging, medical and pharmaceutical and other manufacturing and processing industries.
