Dear Sir, For a belt scale application, normally the Siwarex FTC module for S7-300 is used (see also the attached file).This Siwarex FTC module can calculate the flow and can totalize the material, which is moving on the belt scale. Also you can connect a speed sensor to the Siwarex FTC module, so the module knows the belt speed. If you want to use the Siwarex MS module, you have only a weight value from the load cell, and you need to calculate the flow and totalization by yourself. Also you don’t know the belt speed with the Siwarex MS module. The Siwarex FTC has a better resolution than the Siwarex MS module. The Siwarex MS module shows you the weight value only as an integer value (0 ... 32767). Best regards AttachmentSiwarex_FTC_en.pdf (508 Downloads) |

Hello, If you are using only one load cell, it is not necessary to use a junction-box. You can also use an extension-box (please see the attached file). You can connect more than one load cell to a Siwarex MS module, if the input resistancefrom all load cells (load cells are connected in parallel)are higher than 40 Ohm.
