- Page 2 DIN Rail Installation: 1. Place the top slot of the instrument onto the DIN rail first. 2. Rotate the instrument down until the bottom tab of the instrument enguges with the DIN rail, then press firmly on the bottom on the instrument until it snaps in place. Note: Heavy Gage DIN rail recommended. 3. Check for proper DIN rail engagement by gently lifting up on the bottom and making sure the instrument is securly in place. 4. Repeat with additional units as required for your system. 5. To remove an instrument from a DIN rail, disconnect wiring then lift up on the bottom‐front corner of the module until it snaps off. ...
- Page 3 Note: The maximum distance between the first and the last module in the system is 500 feet (150 meters). The Gateway should placed at the end of a system Wiring: 1. After units are securely mounted on DIN rail, remove terminal connectors making note of the wiring markings found on the connector labels located on the instruments. Hardy Gateway Module Weight Processing Module 2. Cable HardyNet Ports located on the bottom of the units in series using Cat5e cable with RJ‐45 connectors. 3. Cable the DC power located on the bottom of the units using the Module I‐I Diagram and by following the notes for Power Input terminations. ...
- Page 4 Power Input Termination Notes: a) It is NOT necessary to provide power to every module. Power is distributed from the Gateway Module to other modules on the system via the HardyNet Port and the Cat5e cabling. b) You must use a power‐limited 12‐24 VDC power supply (Class 2) on the DC input wiring. DC power should be supplied by a clean primary line, directly from the DC power source. c) Make sure the VDC source is off before connecting any wires to the module and before plugging in the terminal connectors. d) Connect the 24 VDC voltage wire, ground wire and shield wire to the connector that plugs into the DC voltage socket located on the bottom of the Gateway module. The factory installed jumper connects the Earth ground and the internal ground making them common, and should remain in place. 4. Cable the load cells or other type of strain‐ gauge based sensors to the Weight ...
- Page 5 Processing Modules using the I‐I diagram and by following the notes for Weight Scale Input Termination: 5. Cable the communication ports on located on the Gateway terminal according to the protocol used and by following the I‐I diagram for Hardy Gateway Module available on the Hardy website. 6. Connect the optional display to the display port located on the Hardy Gateway module. 7. Power up system. Initial Set‐Up: Set Up may be performed through an optional front panel display or through the integrated Webserver. If setting up using the Webserver, connect an Ethernet cable between the Hardy Gateway Module and follow the Communications>Ethernet TCP/IP instructions shown below before proceeding. Discovering Weight Processing Modules present on the system: The system requires a process of discovery that allows the Gateway Module to identify and test communications with all Weight Processor Modules connected on the HardyNet. The discovery process is automatically initated upon power up of the system; verify all modules on the system have be registered by the Gateway by checking the ...

The Channel Identification and channel order number may also be modifed in the HardyNet sub‐menu section during system set up. Once the discovery process is completed, proceed to setting up each individual channel by following the basic SET UP instructions for each channel outlined below. Suggested steps when setting up the instrument for the first time: Choose a specific Weight Processor Module to set up by selecting a channel either from the front panel display or on the webserver. Channel 1) Choose channel to set‐up SET UP (minimum) 1) Select Unit of Measure 2) Input Total Scale Capacity 3) Select Graduation Size 4) Select Decimal Point Position 5) Input Motion Tolerance Filter ...
- Page 7 Calibration: Section used to calibrate the instrument to the sensor(s) used. C2 eCAL – Electronic Calibration 1) Remove all weight from the scale. 2) Set gravity correction for location of weighing system 3) Press Do C2 Cal. 4) Place a verification weight on the scale to ensure calibration is successful. Hard Cal‐ Traditional Calibration 1) Input the Span Weight. The span weight should be about 80% of the scale capacity. 2) Input Cal Low Weight. With nothing on the scale, the Cal Low Weight is 0, with 5 lbs on the scale, the Cal Low Weight would be 5. 3) Press Do Cal Low to set the low point on the calibration curve. 4) Place the Span Weight onto the scale. 5) Press Do Cal Hi. Refer to User’s Guide if adjustments to other calibration‐related parameters are required. Communication: Section used for setting up communications to the instrument. Ethernet TCP/IP ...
- Page 8 4) Using the unit’s Fixed IP address (the default is 192.168.000.100), the PC must now be assigned a unique IP address (for example, 192.168.000.101) There are two simple rules for the IP Address: It must have the same network identifier as the computer. It must have a different node identifier than the computer. 5) On a PC running windows, open Internet Properties (TCP/IP). 6) Click in the ‘Use the Following IP Address’ checkbox; then enter the following into the TCP/IP Properties dialog. IP Address = 192.168.0.101 Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.000 7) Select OK on the TCP/IP Properties dialog box. The computer is now fully configured. To return the computer to the original network settings, return to the ‘Internet Properties (TCP/IP) dialog, select ‘Obtain an IP address automatically,’ and click OK. 8) The HI 6500 series instrument is now configured to communicate with the PC. Enter the HI 6500 series instrument IP address into the Windows PC Web browser to access the embedded web browser. For example: http://192.168.000.100 See the HI 6600 User’s Guide for setting up EtherNet/IP, Ethernet‐UDP and Modbus‐RTU communication protocols. ...
