The way forward for smart weighing: HLCi

Perfectly suited for any type of tank, batching or platform scales in a smart production facility, the HLCi offers real time data monitoring and many other intelligent features provided by IO-Link. IO-Link provides great benefits to its users, by being the cost-effective solution for automation through simplifying maintenance, reducing downtime and training requirements, while also improve accuracy and optimize workflow. The HLCi can be seamlessly integrated into existing weighing applications, supporting legacy digital interfaces such as RS485 and CAN. The robust, stainless steel measuring body with IP 68/IP 69K withstands even the harshest environments.

Robust, precise and adaptable

  • Available with maximum capacities: 110 kg, 220 kg, 550 kg, 1,1  t, 1,76 t, 2,2 t, 4,4 t
  • Accuracy class 0.03% with IO-Link, RS485 and CAN and 0.05% with analog output (4…20 mA, 0…10V)
  • Hermetically sealed, stainless steel load cell IP 68/IP 69K degree of protection
  • M12 connector, or optional fixed mounted cable (4 … 20 mA, 0 … 10V)

Utilize IO-Link automation in your application

  • Industry standard IO-Link Interface, designed according to IO-Link smart sensor profile
  • Fieldbus independent, works with Profinet, EtherCAT, EtherNet, Modbus, CC-Link and Ethernet Powerlink
  • M12 4-Pin male Connector, works with any standard IO-Link cable
  • Advanced Scaling of the measurement signal improving accuracy
  • Sensor Health Self-Monitoring triggers an IO-Link event if exceedance of sensor-specific limit values is detected
  • Create statistics: Maximum, minimum, peak-to-peak, uptime counter, limit overrun counter
  • Calibration Data stored in the load cell itself, fully traceable measurements

Monitor your load cell in real time

IO-Link Innovations by HBK

  • Function blocks provided for Siemens TIA Portal V14, Rockwell RSLogix5000 and Beckhoff TwinCAT 3 available, making an IO-Link master obsolete.
  • Pre-Process of measurement data by transmitting only essential results, the domain-specific algorithms simplify and reduce costs for customers.
  • Factory scaling implemented on delivery with additional Teach-In assistant for mounted cell calibration with proofing weights.
  • Storing of sensor’s parameter set can be stored on three levels within the sensor itself, on the IO-Link master and within the PLC, enabling the ‘hot’ swopping of sensors. Using a specific setting, the IO-Link master reads whether the newly connected sensor has the same Device ID as the previous one and automatically writes the stored parameter data into the new sensor if the Device ID matches.

Benefit from HBK’s IO-Link solution, making a cost-effective productivity improvement
