Overview
FIG. 1-4 DISPENSING (LOSS-IN-WEIGHT) FROM A
VESSEL TO ANOTHER VESSEL
Connectivity
All HI 3000 Series products enable the user to use the select-
able 10/100 base T Ethernet IP port or use its embedded web
server to link performance, diagnostics and setup data to and
from your intranet, extranet, VPN or the internet. Receive
alarms via e-mail or over WAP enabled devices including
cellular phones and PDA’s. A DeviceNet interface allows
multiple applications to be viewed and controlled from a dis-
play and additional 3rd party I/O to be easily added to the
filling/dispensing system. The controller has single RS-232
serial port configured as a printer port.
Setup Wizards
Setup Wizards enable the user to walk through the instru-
ment set up. On-board Help files are just a key press or click
away.
Mapped I/O
Mapped I/O saves wiring costs by distributing the I/O where
you need it, at the process or in the control room. The con-
troller is a DeviceNet Scanner and the DeviceNet Scan table
is configured using RS Networks
®
. Optional interfaces for
Allen-Bradley Remote I/O, Profibus provide communica-
tions to PLC and DCS systems.
WAVERSAVER
®
Typically, mechanical noise (from other machinery in a plant
environment) is present in forces larger than the weight
forces trying to be detected. The HI 3010 is fitted with
WAVERSAVER
®
technology which eliminates the effects of
vibratory forces present in all industrial weight control and
measurement applications. By eliminating the factor of
vibratory forces the controller is capable of identifying the
actual weight data. WAVERSAVER
®
can be configured
from the front panel to ignore noise with frequencies as low
as 0.25 Hz. One of four higher additional cut off frequencies
may be selected to provide a faster instrument response time.
The default factory configuration is 0.50 Hz vibration fre-
quency immunity.

Calibration
C2
®
Electronic Calibration enables a scale system to be cali-
brated electronically without using certified test weights
which equals the systems load capacity. A C2 weighing sys-
tem consists of up to eight load sensors, a junction box, inter-
connect cable and an instrument with C2 capabilities, such
as the Filler/Dispenser/IBC. All Hardy C2 certified load sen-
sors contain digital information detailing its unique perfor-
mance characteristics. The Hardy Filler/Dispenser/IBC reads
the performance characteristics of each individual load sen-
sor and detects the quantity of load sensors in the system.
Calibration is performed by simply adding a reference point
from the front panel, or via the Web Server. The reference
can be zero (no weight on the scale) or alternatively, a
known weight on the scale. The instrument is capable of per-
forming traditional calibration such as with the use of certi-
fied test weights.

On-Board Diagnostics
The HI 3010 has a built in diagnostics utility which enables
the operator to rapidly troubleshoot a weighing system from
the front panel of the controller or via the Web Server. Sim-
ply press the Test button and scroll through several tests that
will furnish the current state of each of the parameters that
concern your application and the weigh system. Help is just
a click away in the event you should not understand the
information on the display or need a description of the
parameter.
Secure Memory Module (SMM)
The Secure Memory Module stores critical configuration (up
to 12 material configurations), calibration and setup data of
the HI 3010 Filler/Dispenser/IBC, thereby protecting this
information from corruption. During system operation when
a new parameter is entered, the SMM automatically updates
the value in its memory. Data stored in one HI 3010 can be
restored in another HI 3010 by physically transferring the
SMM to the new instrument. The SMM is conveniently
accessible from the instruments rear panel.
