Designed to address the needs of both highly integrated and stand-alone industrial weighing applications, the HI 6850 serves as an all-in-one weight controller with up to 4 channels of weight. Featuring dual-port Ethernet connectivity and an embedded network switch, the HI6850 makes serving up data to both control networks and information networks simple and safe. Choose from the most popular Industrial Fieldbus protocols for control networks: EtherNet/IP or Modbus TCP/IP; while reaping the benefits of IIoT device-level connectivity though a built-in Webserver.

The Model HI6850 is designed to accommodate weight-based applications including:
- Multi-Channel Weight Measurement and Control (Available Now)
- Rate of Change (Available Now)
- Setpoint Weight Control (loss-in-weight / gain-in-weight) (Available Now)
- Dynamic Checkweighing (coming soon)
- Dispensing and Filling (coming soon)
- Batch Control (coming soon)
The modular design of the Model HI6850 allows configuration to accommodate the above applications with the following option cards:
- General Purpose Input/Out (GPIO) option card (up to 2)
- Relay option card with 8 DC Normally Open relays
- High Speed Scale input card; 24-bit ADC with C2 (second-generation calibration) compatibility at 250 updates per second
- Three additional weight channels operating at 100 updates per second
The Model HI 6850 can be configured with an HI6150 7-inch (100 x 165mm) color TFT touchscreen for operation, setup, and user-friendly graphics for applications control. The larger front panel display is ideal for dynamic checkweighing, batch control, rate control, and belt weighing applications. The product is also available for mounting directly on a DIN rail with no display or fully configured in a Panel Mount Wall System.
SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE
With the dual-core processor and featuring Hardy’s exclusive WAVERSAVER+®, even in noisy environments with excessive amounts of mechanical vibration, the HI 6800 provides a steady 1:30:000 resolution in oz, lb, ton, g, and kg at 250 updates per second.
SIMPLE SET-UP, CALIBRATION, MAINTENCE & TROUBLESHOOTING
Use Hardy’s exclusive C2® Second Generation Calibration for automatic system calibration to save hours in commissioning and routine maintenance. By reading the calibration certificate electronically embedded in the C2® load cell sensor, the scale system can be calibrated with the touch of a button; avoiding time consuming and expensive traditional calibration procedures.
QUICK MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Comprehensive diagnostics are displayed for power, network, and weighing function status allowing users to quickly identify faults and solve issues by following on-board help instructions. With INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN®, maintain and troubleshoot the weighing system at the sensor level by diagnosing individual scale components (load cells) without the need to disconnect wiring.
