Filling / Dispensing
Check Weighing
Loss-in-Weight Rate Control
Level by Weight
Force Measurement
Our instruments transfer weight data directly to PLCs, SLCs, and ControlLogix® via plug-in weigh scale modules, or over interfaces such as Remote I/O, Profibus and DeviceNet, and to PCs running Hardy's DDE or OPC servers.
Our weighing instrumentation line includes:
Allen Bradley Compatible Weigh Scale Modules (HI 1746-WS, HI 1756-WS, HI 1771-WS, HI 200DNWM DeviceNet)
Weight Controller (HI 2151/30WC) with Cockpit™, configuration assisting software
Loss-in-Weight Rate Controller (HI 2160RCPlus)
Strain Gauge Transmitters
Junction Boxes and Cable
Load Points and Load Sensors / Load Cells
Platform Scales and Floor Scales
Most instruments feature Hardy's innovative features:
WAVERSAVER® – enables the instrument to ignore the effects of unwanted vibration to provide accurate weight
C2®, Second Generation Calibration – calibrates electronically, without the use of test weights
