HI 4050 Weight Controller

Acts as a front end to a PLC, PC or DCS system for most weighing applications, or as a stand-alone instrument for simple control or weight monitoring.

Modularity – Configure the HI 4050 to suit your applications: specify it with or without a display; choose either AC or DC power, select a communication network: Analog, DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, Allen-Bradley Remote I/O, Profibus, or Modbus TCP/IP. Choose between a panel/remote mount and a DIN rail mount. With a display, you choose either to panel mount the entire assembly, or to mount the controller housing assembly remotely.

Ease of Installation – Installation is easy, with no special tools or expertise required. Just drill five to nine standard holes in your panel, and attach the front panel keyboard display. There is no rectangular cutout required. The controller housing can be attached to the rear of the panel or remotely up to 100 feet away to a DIN rail. The controller housing can be DIN rail mounted vertically, horizontally, or offset to make use of available space. Need to replace an HI 2151/30WC or HI 2110WI? Just drill four holes and plug the HI 4050 controller in.

Small Footprint – The HI 4050 Series controller is designed to optimize panel space. Integrated packages measuring just 75.7 mm (2.98 in) high and 143.5 mm (5.65 in) wide include processor, embedded inputs and outputs, and power supply. Depth is only 76.2 mm (3 in). Display assembly is just 101.6 mm (4 in) high and 177.8 mm (7 in) wide.

Ease of Set-up – With its embedded web server, all the instrument’s parameters can be set up from anywhere on the Ethernet network. Front panel keys and graphic display with simple menus provide quick easy setup with process weight and parameter display. In addition, its embedded Ethernet Web server gives the user remote access to control information, instrument parameters and diagnose problems, further optimizing production efficiency by sharing real-time data on the plant floor with OEM partners or remote maintenance.

Accessibility – The embedded Ethernet communications port in the HI 4050 weight controller enables users to easily share data across a production facility, eliminating the time and costs associated with new network wiring.

Expandable Secure Memory Module (SMM®-SD) – Hardy’s rear panel accessible SMM is more than just a memory card; it’s a network media that connects SD-enabled products. The SMM now uses a standard Secure Digital (SD) memory card, which allows easy expansion, transfers of data from one instrument to another and is readable by your PC.

C2®Electronic Calibration – C2® enables fast accurate electronic calibration of your scale. This saves system start-up costs and aggravation. Of course, even if C2® certified load sensors are not used, the system can still be calibrated the slow, traditional way using costly certified test weights.

INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN® – In conjunction with an IT® Junction Box, the controller provides built-in system diagnostics that allow you to troubleshoot and diagnose your weighing system right from its front panel, your intranet or the Internet. Read individual load sensor voltages and weights, make comparisons, verify the scale zero, and isolate individual system components for quick and easy troubleshooting.

WAVERSAVER® – WAVERSAVER eliminates the effects of unwanted vibration on or around the scale by permitting the instrument to “see” through the unwanted vibration signals – as low as 0.25Hz – while yielding a stable actual reading.
