The HI 4050 is a slave device. All data communication exchanges between a master and the HI 4050 originate from the master device. Each HI 4050 is assigned to one master and only that master may write output data to that HI 4050. Other masters may read information from any slave, but can only write output data to their own assigned slaves.
Page 80: Initialization Process
Initialization Process To be able to add an HI 4050 to a Profibus-DP network, you need a PC and software such as Siemens Step 7™, Simatic Manager or equal, that allows the Profibus-DP PLC and the HI 4050 to exchange data.

Page 90: The Waversaver® Parameter
Mechanical noise (from other machinery in a plant environment) can be present in forces larger than the weight forces being measured. The HI 4050 is fitted with WAVERSAVER technology that eliminates the effects of vibratory forces present in all dynamic and static industrial weight control and measurement applications.
Page 91: Waversaver+ Options: Variation_Thd And Motion_Thd
The WAVERSAVER® calculation speed is independent of the sample rate. The HI 4050 sample rate is selectable at 110 sps or 250 sps (samples per second). That is the number of weight samples that are available for communications and weight processing, whether the weight has changed or not.
Page 92: Low Pass Filter Parameter
To configure WAVERSAVER+, set the WAVERSAVER and Numaverages parameters to establish the speed and required accuracy for dynamic weighing. Set the variation_thd to 0.0 and observe the peak to peak variation of the weight value. Then set the variation threshold parameter to be 1.5 times larger than the observed weight variation. Set the motion threshold to 1/3 of the observed peak to peak weight variation.

Page 100: Set Points
However, setpoints are used mainly for mapping digital I/O communications between the HI 4050 and network devices (e.g., PLCs). You define the use of a setpoint value based on how you apply that value within a mapping equation. See Section 6 for mapping informa- tion.
Page 101: Parameters
Parameters Deadband Limit, Preact Limit, and Type The Deadband limit is the difference between the set point and the reset. It is used to prevent rapidly fluctuating setpoint states once the set point is reached. For example, with a set point value of 1000 pounds and a deadband set to 5 pounds, the relay would close at 1000 pounds but not open until the weight dropped to 995 pounds.

Page 107: Chapter 5 Calibration
It is important that users and service personnel be familiar with the procedures in this chapter before installing or operating the HI 4050 Weight Controller. All calibration is done in the Gross mode. Be sure to follow all the procedures completely to insure that the weights read by the controller are accurate.
Page 108: Electrical Check Procedures
• Make sure that nothing is draped over the scale/vessel or the load cell, such as a hose, electrical cord, tubes, or other objects. • Check to see that nothing comes in contact with the scale/vessel other than service wires and piping that have been properly mounted with flexible connectors.
Page 109: Calibration Procedures
NOTE Load cell/point measurements can be checked with a digital voltmeter at the J1 connector on the rear panel or at the summing box of the HI 4050 or use Integrated Technician if you are using the IT Junction Box.

Additional variables are identified in the mapping pull downs and list of mapping symbols. Input and Output Tables To transfer values from node to node (e.g. the HI 4050 and PLCs) during an I/O scan, each node has an Input Table, where incoming values from other nodes are received, and an Output Table that contains the values to be read by other nodes.
Page 119 Often, more than two devices are involved, so separate input and output tables having different addresses may be set up for data exchanges with each device. In an HI 4050 mapping equation, the right side is for data from its input table and the left side is for output.

Step 7. Click Map to complete the Gross Weight to EtherNet/IP Float Out equation. The Gross Weight that is stored in the input table is now assigned to the EtherNet/IP Float Out output table and to the EtherNet/IP Network. The Map list, shown below, shows the new mapping.

Page 125: Simple Mapping Example From The Front Panel
Boolean Mapping In a Boolean equation, the destination (left side of the equation) is a Boolean term. It can have the value 0 (FALSE) or 1 (TRUE). The HI 4050 supports three Boolean operations: • AND - The symbol for “AND” in a Boolean Assignment Statement is “*”.

Page 130: Analog Mapping
An analog variable is addressed with the syntax below: [tablename][offset] The offset is an offset in words in the case of the network tables. The offsets in Hardy tables have various predefined meanings. When an analog equation is evaluated, all terms are converted to float. The final result is then converted to the type of the destination.
Page 131: Special (Command) Mapping
By doing this you can set four-byte parameter values using a single command rather than the three commands required above. The Command Interface The HI 4050 may receive commands over any of its network interfaces. A command consists of four-bytes, which it receives through its network input data.
Page 132: Performing A Parameter List (Dump)
• byte 0: The least significant byte of the PARAMTER ID • byte 1: The next byte of the PARAMTER ID but with the highest order bit set. • bytes 2,3: The value you want to set the parameter to. For example, to set the value of NumAverages to 3, if the first two-bytes are set to 0, send this hex command <0x8007><0x0003>.

When the HI 4050 sends the load cell a 5-volt DC excitation signal that powers the load cell, the force transducer generates a millivolt output proportional to the load (0-10mv DC for 2mv/V load cells/ points or 0-15mv DC for 3mv/V load cells/points).
