Hardy HI 6200 Single Channel Weight Processors & Analog Weight Transmitters

POWERFUL WEIGHT PROCESSING, ULTRA-COMPACT DESIGN, WITH A COLOR TOUCH-SCREEN INTERFACE DESIGNED FOR OEM APPLICATIONS:

The Hardy HI 6200 series are either high performance single-channel Weight Processors featuring EtherNet/IP or Weight Transmitters featuring 4-20mA Analog communications. The HI 6200 4-20mA Analog is designed to replace signal conditioners and analog strain gage transmitters, providing OEMs, Systems Integrators or machine builders the advantage of C2® Electronic Calibration. The color touch screen display also enables Zero and Tare, which are not functions typically available directly on Analog transmitters.
 
The EtherNet/IP HI 6200 enables IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) compatibility, remote diagnostics, 24-bit processing, 100 Hz update rate and a color touch-screen display.  
 
Ultra-compact at just 2 inches wide and 3 inches high (without connectors), the HI 6200 series saves cabinet space, allowing for high density panel design over traditional weighing instrumentation, reducing both machine cost and control cabinet footprint.

The HI 6200 series is designed to replace signal conditioners and analog strain gage transmitters with clean 4-20mA Analog signals or fieldbus connectivity. The HI 6200 series enables users to reap the benefits of IIoT device level connectivity though a built-in Webserver or directly via the UDP layer.

The intuitive 1.8” TFT-LCD touch screen interface is thoughtfully designed so that anyone with basic scale knowledge can set-up and operate the instrument without having to read a manual or receive instruction. Despite its tiny size, the high contrast color TFT display provides crisp easy to read measurements and instrument status.

SOLID PERFORMANCE:
Powerful 24-bit or 16-bit processing, state of the art hardware design, combined with Hardy’s WAVERSAVER® technology ensure fast stable weight readings in even the most adverse conditions that often plague process control. As a co-processer to a control system such as a PLC, DCS or PAC, the HI 6200 delivers 100 updates per second of processed weight data at resolutions exceeding 1:10,000 without placing additional burden or delay into control loops that depend on fast accurate readings from analog sensors.

HARDY PROCESS TOOLBOX:
All versions of the HI 6200 include the Hardy Productivity Toolbox – C2® weightless calibration, WAVERSAVER® instrument diagnostics, and a suite of control integration tools such as a Rockwell EDS_AOP.  The Analog Version features C2®, zero and tare functions through the color TFT display.

Shiratech iCOMOX
Shiratech Solutions Ltd.

Shiratech iCOMOX

iCOMOX is a sensor-to-cloud platform for intelligent condition monitoring by Shiratech. iCOMOX is very fast to deploy. It comes ready to use with embedded software and on-board time-domain, as well as FFT analytics for condition-based maintenance (CBM) of industrial assets such as machinery, production lines and structures.

CE and FCC certified, iCOMOX is housed in a compact and rugged IP66-rated enclosure. A selection of adapters is provided to facilitate attachment to various types of equipment.

From solution developers to system integrators, just about everybody can benefit from the iCOMOX solution. The product benefits from a rich selection of five high-quality sensors for vibration, magnetic-field, temperature and acoustic monitoring.

User-configurable sensor interrupts give flexibility to activate the system on detection of specific events and thresholds. This end-to-end solution is already proving a hit with more than 4,000 units of iCOMOX sold to date.

The product will take centre stage at SPS Drives 2019 in Nuremberg (hall 4A, stand 400). It is available from Arrow Electronics.
