The latest E-Scale design brings power and networking connections out to the edge of the scale for a fully plug-n-play experience for the user. With their rugged construction and stainless steel tops, E-Scales are a great fit for dry food processing, laboratory, and industrial installations. The E-Scale line of bench scales comes in a variety of configurations with a built-in interface for direct connection to a PLC, PAC, DCS, or PC. All E-Scales come standard in 12”x12” and 24”x24” sizes, and range in capacity from 33 lbs – 1300lbs (15 kg to 600 kg).
The covers are all stainless steel for durability. The bases have no bearings, spirit levels, or moving parts that can be damaged or wear out. They come standard with Hardy Process Toolbox features, including Waversaver®, C2®, Webserver, and Rockwell Automation integration tools such as Faceplates, and Add-on-profiles.
E-SCALE-6500**
IIoT ready scale with integrated weight processing and communications. No DIN or panel space is required. The E-Scale-6500 delivers stable processed weight with a resolution of 1:10:000, and an update speed of 110 updates per second (processor, display, and comm.). Communications protocols supported include:
- EtherNet/IP (-EIP models)
- Ethernet UDP
- Ethernet TCP/IP(Embedded Webserver)
- Modbus RTU
- Modbus TCP (-EIP models)
** User must supply 24VDC to the scale
E-SCALE-6510**
The New E-Scale-6510 has all the great features of the E-Scale-6500 but adds an Analog 4-20 mA port. It is designed for sites that are still using Analogcommunications but plan to upgrade to EIP in the future, providing a clearly designed upgrade path.
E-SCALE-6610*
Capable of powering up to 20 scales daisy chained up to 50 ft from beginning to end to a single Hardy HI 6600 Gateway Module. The Gateway Module provides a Single Ethernet connection back to the PLC/PAC or PC – No additional power is required! Gateway Module has an optional panel mount multichannel display that can be used to operate connected E-Scales.
HI6600 Gateway communications include:
- EtherNet/IP (-EIP models)
- Profibus-DP (-DP models)
- Ethernet TCP/IP(Embedded Webserver)
- Modbus RTU
Even in noisy environments with excessive amounts of mechanical vibration, the E-Scale-6610 provides a steady 1:10:000 resolution with 110 updates per second over its variety of communications protocols.

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 process weighing applications, including WAVERSAVER® to eliminate vibration, C2® electronic calibration, and Integrated Technician® to name just a few.
The E-Scale features the following Toolbox technologies:
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.
E-Scale-6500-XP ONLY
Hardy's patent-pending WAVERSAVER+ patent pending adaptive algorithm selects from a bank of 7 noise filters and uses the optimum mix to provide a stable weight under static conditions.
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.
Embedded Web Server
Access your instrument from any computer browser, easing setup and making diagnostics fast and easy. Use the Embedded Web Server to set up all parameters from anywhere on the Ethernet network.
