Siemens SIWAREX MS PLC-Based Weighing Modules

SIWAREX MS offers the following key advantages:

• Uniform design technology and consistent communication in SIMATIC S7-200
• Uniform configuration with STEP 7 Micro/WIN
• Measurement of weight or force with a high resolution of 65000 parts and an accuracy of 0.05 %
• Simple configuration with the ready to use software “Getting started”
• Simple adjustment of the scale using the SIWATOOL MS PC program via the RS 232 interface
• Supports theoretical adjustment without adjustment weights
• Supports replacement of module without renewed adjustment of scale
• For use in Ex zone 2, intrinsically-safe load cell powering for zone 1 over Ex interface
• Supports direct connection of a remote display to TTY interface

SIWAREX MS is the optimum solution wherever strain gauge sensors, such as load cells, force sensors or torque measuring shafts, are used for measuring tasks. The following are typical SIWAREX MS applications:

• Non-automatic weighing machines
• Simple discontinuous weighing processes
• Fill level monitoring of silos and bunkers
• Measuring of crane and cable loads
• Load measuring for industrial lifts and rolling mills
• Weighing in potentially explosive areas (zone 2 or zone 1 using Ex interface SIWAREX IS or Pi)
• Monitoring of belt tension
• Force measuring, weighing hoppers, platform scales and crane scales
