The HI6501 series is a modernized weight processor featuring faster update rates, dual-port Ethernet, color touch-screen navigation, NTEP certification and conformance to the latest OVDA standards. The HI6501 includes EtherNet/IP® and free Add-On- Profiles & HMI Faceplates, for use with Rockwell Automation control systems. The HI6501 features a big, bright color touchscreen display and deliver fast, high-resolution weight readings. Also offered is an alternative 4-20mA analog configuration.
Weight processors are used as front ends to control systems or standalone for all types of general weighing applications. They measure, condition and communicate weight without any need to control.
SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE
The HI 6501 series delivers stable processed weight with a resolution of 1:10:000, and an update speed of 250 updates per second (processor, display and comm.). These units enhance the productivity of process manufacturing systems where fast, precise weight-based controls are critical. EIP models offer many communication choices including EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP & RTU.
VIBRATION IMMUNITY
Hardy’s WAVERSAVER® technology supresses vibration and mechanical noise, dramatically reducing scale settling time and increasing the speed of stable gross and net weight readings. 6501 series features a big, rugged high-contrast touchscreen display.
EASY TO READ
For maximum visibility and usability, the HI6501 series features a 4.3" color touchscreen display.
LOW POWER CONSUMPTION
Each instrument consumes just 4 watts saving energy costs while driving up to 8 load points.
EASE OF SET-UP & CALIBRATION
A set-up wizard guides you through installation and calibration, or use the embedded web server to set up parameters from anywhere on your network. Front panel keys and menus enable quick, easy setup with help text. Use Hardy's exclusive C2® for automatic system calibration, which saves hours of start-up and maintenance time. A Rockwell Add-On-Profile makes PLC setup fast and easy, while HMI Faceplates/AOIs make it easy to use without programming.
INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN®
Quickly and easily troubleshoot the weighing system from the front panel of the display or connected control system using Hardy's proprietary IT built-in system diagnostics.
NTEP CERTIFICATION
A simple toggle switch and NTEP Certification enables users to use the HI6501 in Legal-for-trade applications. Eligible for enhanced real-time instrument diagnostics and alerts
STATIC CHECKWEIGHING
A static checkweighing feature allows easy and fast product inspection by weight.
SWIVEL MOUNT ENCLOSURE OPTION
The new HI6501 is also available in a SME Configuration for use with bench and floor scales with indicator columns or for mounting in locations where cabinets are not appropriate.

The Hardy Process Toolbox is a set of productivity tools that support industrial weighing functions. Each tool saves time, increases accuracy, improves efficiency, or reduces risk in your process weighing applications.
The HI6501 series features the following Toolbox technologies:
C2® (or eCAL) Electronic Calibration
The Hardy C2® (or eCAL as it is known in China) core feature provides quick and easy electronic calibration of a weighing system without the need for heavy test weights.
INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN® Operator Diagnostics
Hardy's INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN (IT) core feature helps you troubleshoot your weighing system and diagnose problems from the front of the instrument or via the PLC. These tests display system weights, voltages, and pass/fail displays to help isolate a problem to the instrument, cabling, or sensors, helping to reduce maintenance costs.
WAVERSAVER® vibration eliminator
Hardy's WAVERSAVER core technology eliminates the effects that surrounding vibration has on the scale weight signal, providing only true data for fast, accurate weight reading.
Rockwell Add-on-Profile HMI Faceplate/AOIs
Configure and setup your processor with a Rockwell Automation PLC.
