Weighing module SIWAREX FTA

PLC Based Weighing Modules

SIWAREX FTA is a calibratable and versatile weighing electronics for SIMATIC S7, C7 and PCS7. It can be used for automatic and non-automatic weighing, e.g. for the production of mixtures, filling, loading, monitoring and bagging. The SIWAREX FTA function module is integrated in SIMATIC S7/PCS7, and uses the features of this modern automation system, such as integral communication, diagnostics and configuration tools.

By setting a parameter in SIWAREX FTA, one of the following scale types can be activated:

· NAWI (Non Automatic Weighing Instrument) conforming with OIML R76
For example: Hopper weighing, Fill level scale, Platform scale, Crane scale

· AWI (Automatic Weighing Instrument) conforming with OIML R61
For example: Sacking system scale, Filling scale

· Automatic Catchweighing Instrument conforming with OIML R51
For example: Single component scale for filling and emptying scales, Multi-component scale, Static control scale for weight measurement

· Discontinue Totalizing Automatic Weighing Instrument conforming with OIML R107
For example: Emptying scale, Loading scale

Weighing module SIWAREX FTC

PLC Based Weighing Modules

SIWAREX FTC (Flexible Technology for Continuous Weighing) is a versatile and flexible weighing module for conveyor scales, loss-in-weigh scales and bulk flow meters. It can also be used to record weights and measure force. The SIWAREX FTC function module is integrated in SIMATIC S7/PCS7, and uses the features of this modern automation system, such as integral communication, diagnostics and configuration tools.

The SIWAREX FTC weighing module is the optimum solution wherever high demands are placed on continuous weighing procedures. Thanks to its outstanding measuring properties, weights can be measured with extreme accuracy in up to three ranges.Typical areas of application are belt load measurement, flowrate measurement, belt volume measurement, material loading and bidirectional force measurement.

Weighing module SIWAREX U

PLC Based Weighing Modules

The SIWAREX U is a versatile weighing module for all simple weighing and force measuring tasks. It is either used centrally in a SIMATIC S7-300 or decentrally linked via PROFIBUS-DP to an S7-400, SIMATIC S5 or systems of other manufacturers. Examples of its uses include filling levels in storage silos and containers for monitoring crane loads, measuring conveyor belt loads, and as an overload protection for industrial lifts or mill trains. That means, anywhere, where weights need to be recorded and transferred to the automation system for processing as quickly as possible, with no bias and without the need for an additional interface.

With SIWAREX U and further standard components from the SIMATIC range, we can offer you the optimum hardware and software environment.

Weighing module SIWAREX CS

PLC Based Weighing Modules

The SIWAREX CS is a compact weighing electronics for the Decentral Peripheral System ET 200Sfrom SIMATIC.

SIWAREX CS is the optimum solution wherever strain gauge sensors, such as load cells, force sensors or torque measuring shafts, are used for measuring tasks.

Weighing module SIWAREX MS

PLC Based Weighing Modules

The SIWAREX MS is a compact weighing electronics for the system S7-200 from SIMATIC. The data for the actual weight can be accessed directly in the SIMATIC CPU without the need for any additional interfaces. 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.
