Loss-in-Weight Rate Controller Applications PROCESS WEIGHING • Gravimetric Feeding • Continuous and Batch Rate Control • Master/Slave Features WAVERSAVER® • Ignores vibration on and around scales • Electronic calibration without test weights INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN® • Weighing system monitoring and troubleshooting Automatic Closed Loop Control • Continuously adjusts feeder to deliver desired feed rate Graphics Display Mode • Graphs actual feed rate vs. setpoint or operation percentage output Automatic Refill • Starts and stops refilling without interrupting the feeding of material Used in new applications, or to retrofit volumetric feeders or replace outdated controllers in gravimetric systems, Hardy’s HI 4060 loss-in-weight rate controller controls many feeding devices, such as auger, vibratory and belt-based feeders, as well as your proprietary designs. AUTOMATIC WEIGHT AND RATE CALIBRATION A five-point auto rate calibration automatically allows the HI 4060 to calibrate itself to the feed characteristics of the feeder and the material being fed. This allows for a higher feed accuracy over a broader range of feed rates. MODULARITY AND EASE OF INSTALLATION Configure your HI 4060 rate controller to suit your specific application: • With or without display • DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP, Profibus, or Allen Bradley® Remote I/O • Panel, DIN rail, remote or wall mount • Either AC or DC power No special tools are required for installation. Just drill or punch standard holes in your panel and attach the front panel keyboard display. The rate controller housing can be attached to the rear of the panel or remotely, up to 100 feet away to a DIN rail. MULTIPLE CONFIGURATION STORAGE The HI 4060 lets you store set-up and calibrations in hundreds of dedicated, on-board memory locations, for easy and fast configuration retrieval and change. Configurations are also automatically stored in the Secure Digital Memory Module (SMMSD) card, letting you easily transfer data from one instrument to another, or view that data on your PC. EASE OF SET-UP You can quickly access menus to set up process weight and rate parameters from the controller’s front panel keys and LCD display. The HI 4060’s embedded web server also gives you remote access to control information and instrument parameters. The rate controller will watch your process and notify you of problems. Display Prompts and alarm relay outputs occur with tolerance errors and other failures. By entering specific control parameters, you decide at which levels to alarm or shut down the application. You can also assign three different security levels to each function. MULTIPLE FEEDER CONTROL The HI 4060 is a powerful building block when it comes to multiple feeder systems. It can act as a master to multiple controllers or as a slave to other HI 4060s, HI 4050s or other process inputs. Let multiple DIN-rail HI 4060s be controlled from a common host computer or programmable controller. CORE TECHNOLOGIES WAVERSAVER® ignores vibration and mechanical noise in feeders and the plant environment. C2® electronic calibration enables fast, accurate, electronic calibration of your system, saving start-up costs and aggravation. Used in conjunction with an IT Junction Box, INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN® (IT) allows you to troubleshoot and diagnose your weighing system right from the instrument’s front panel or a web browser. You can read individual load sensor voltages and weights, make comparisons, and isolate individual system components.
