Coming Soon! New HI 1756-nDF Dispenser/Filler Module

Dispenser/Filler moduleNew Dispenser/Filler Module for ControlLogix 


 
Easy to install, simple to set-up:  Hardy Process Solutions' new HI 1756-nDF Dispenser/Filler modules for the Allen-Bradley® ControlLogix® platform are an easy answer to a variety of material-flow applications where speed, repeatability and accuracy are paramount to the overall process.  Whether filling or dispensing aggregates, granulates, liquids or gases, the HI 1756-nDF automates the entire process by monitoring, controlling, tuning and maintaining the dispense/fill operation.


Easily installs directly into your ControlLogix rack I/O with Hardy's exclusive core technologies:  WAVERSAVER® to easily eliminate the effects of surrounding vibration for fast, stable weight display; INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN® (IT) for fast and easy system diagnostics and troubleshooting; and C2® Electronic Calibration for easy calibration without test weights when used with Hardy ADVANTAGE® load cells.


With two integrated solid state DC or AC relays per channel, Hardy's HI 1756-nDF eliminates timing issues created by non-deterministic messaging and places processing power and complete control right where you need it - at the process, making it a true distributed control device.

Case Study:  Checkweighing

Solution for pharmaceutical company reduces waste of expensive
materials
 

  

THE CHALLENGE:
 
A pharmaceutical company needs to ensure that a large stainless steel bin holding drug products is completely empty before washing the bin, since the products often stick to the sides of the bin even after vibrating and hammering the vessel. "The residual material is expensive and represents a loss in revenue for us," states the customer. Besides, environmental regulations do not allow dangerous chemicals to go down the drain. Finally this application requires a different type of load cell since each time the robot drops the bin on the bin washer conveyer, this causes a significant shock to the load cells.

Webtech Question: How do I order an HI 4050 or HI 4060 with the correct options? 

Answer:   There are components that are standard to the HI 4060 that are not available or only as an option to the HI 4050.
