Product catalog summary
Overview
The document provides detailed information about the Hardy HI 3030 Multi-Scale Weight Controller, a versatile device designed for process weighing applications. It highlights the features, applications, specifications, and networking capabilities of the HI 3030, emphasizing its flexibility and integration with various systems.

Features
The Hardy Process Toolbox includes tools like WaVersaVer® for vibration management and C2® electronic calibration for efficient calibration without test weights. The Integrated Technician® feature allows for system monitoring and troubleshooting.

Stand-Alone and PLC Solutions
The HI 3030 can function independently or integrate with a PLC, PC, or DCS system. It supports automatic refilling of storage tanks and offers flexible I/O mapping with internal setpoints for alarms and notifications.

Networking
The HI 3030 supports various network connections, including DeviceNet, ControlNet, EtherNet/IP, and Profibus. It allows multiple controllers to share a single network connection, reducing wiring and costs.

Applications
The controller is suitable for batching, blending, filling, dispensing, level-by-weight, check weighing, and weight monitoring. It can manage up to four scales simultaneously.

Specifications
The HI 3030 features a 4-line x 20 character backlit LCD display, a 55 times per second update rate, and a resolution of 1:985,000 for display and 1:1,048,000 internally. It supports Ethernet and Serial RS 232 interfaces and offers stable weight readings with WAVERSAVER® technology.

Technical Specifications
Load point excitation is 5VDC, supporting up to 16 load cells. Power requirements are 108-264VAC or 12-24 VDC. Operating temperature ranges from -10°C to +50°C. The device is CE, UL/CUL, NTEP, and Canada Weights & Measures approved.

Options
Available options include built-in junction boxes, environmental rear caps, swivel mount brackets, and various network interfaces like Profibus, ControlNet, and Modbus TCP.

Multi-Scale Weight Controller Applications PROCESS WEIGHING • Batching/Blending • Filling/Dispensing • Level-by-Weight • Check Weighing • Weight Monitoring Features The Hardy Process Toolbox The Hardy Process Toolbox is a set of productivity tools that support process weighing functions. Each tool saves time, PRODUCTIVITY increases accuracy, improves efficiency or reduces risk in process weighing PROCESS TOOLBOX applications. TM • Ignores vibration on and around scales C2® and eCALTM Electronic Calibration • Electronic calibration without test weights tm INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN® • Weighing system monitoring and troubleshooting INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN The Hardy HI 3030 is a flexible weight controller that can monitor and control up to four scales simultaneously. It can act as a front end to a PLC, PC or DCS system for applications such as level, batching, filling, dispensing, and check weighing, or as a stand alone for simple control or weight monitoring. NETWORKING As a bridge to a PLC, its four scales can share one network connection, whether it is DeviceNet, ControlNet, EtherNet/IP Profibus or , Analog. You can also link additional HI 3030s with their multiple scales and share the same network connection. Just like the other Series 3000 products, you can also configure or monitor the HI 3030 using a web browser or network interface. THE PLC SOLUTION Imagine you have eight storage tanks and would like to monitor and control the weight in each of the tanks using your PLC. You could buy two HI 3030s, each with four scale inputs and tie them together with the built-in Ethernet communications. Bring all eights scales back to your PLC using just one of the HI 3030s and one of its optional technologies:DeviceNet, ControlNet, Profibus, or EtherNet/IP network card. If you are in need of more than eight storage tanks, you can connect up to 16 controllers, for a total of 64 scales, through that same single interface.You save wiring, time, and money. THE STAND-ALONE SOLUTION Let’s again take the example of the eight storage tanks, but this time you wish to control tank weights outside of the PLC. No problem! With or without a connection to the PLC, you can set up the HI 3030 to automatically refill each of the storage vessels when they get to their individual “low” levels. Now you can also save on programming costs. COMPLETE FLEXIBILITY With the flexible I/O mapping and twelve independent internal setpoints in the HI 3030, you can direct alarms or enunciators to a local output or to any point on the plant network.You can even have an alarm emailed directly to you! Don’t need a display or keypad on the controller? Use the Blind Remote HI 3030R, and control or configure the unit via your web browser or your local network. INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN® The HI 3030's INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN, used in conjunction with an IT Junction Box, provides built-in system diagnostics that enable you to troubleshoot and diagnose your weighing system right from its front panel or a web browser. You can read individual load sensor voltages and weights, make comparisons, and isolate individual system components for quick and easy troubleshooting.
