What are the required software and module (since it seems there are alot of modules for load cells) that are required to program/parametrize the SIWAREX module that I should insert in the ET200 MP rack, and is there anything else I should purchase to complete this load cell integration ? Thanks Attachment BTY-MB-x.jpg (202 Downloads)

There are no Siwarex Card for ET200MP, as it is at the moment, you could use a WP321 card for ET200SP

7MH4138-6AA00-0BA0

SIWAREX WP321 WEIGHING ELECTRONIC (1 CHANNEL) FOR STRAIN GAUGE LOAD CELLS / FULL BRIDGES (1-4 MV/V) FOR SIMATIC ET200SP, FITS TO BU-TYPE A0, RS485- INTERFACE FOR CONNECTION OF SIWATOOL OR A REMOTE DISPLAY

Software, you could use SiwaTool

7MH4138-1AK01

CONFIGURATION PACKAGE SIWAREX WP321 FOR TIA-PORTAL ON CD-ROM, - APPLICATION PROGRAM READY-TO-USE FOR TIA-PORTAL AND STEP 7 - PC CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE SIWATOOL - MANUAL

I believe I can use one of the cards for the central cpu rack ? like this one below http://w3.siemens.com/mcms/sensor-systems/en/weighing-systems/weighing-electronics/plc-based-weighing-modules/Pages/weighing-module-siwarex-wp231.aspx Does this WP321 support my load cell? and how can I tell if WP321 is for ET200SP or ET200S ? is there any thing that I can distinguish it by? 7MH4138-6AA00-0BA0 SIWAREX WP321 WEIGHING ELECTRONIC (1 CHANNEL) FOR STRAIN GAUGE LOAD CELLS / FULL BRIDGES (1-4 MV/V) FOR SIMATIC ET200SP, FITS TO BU-TYPE A0, RS485- INTERFACE FOR CONNECTION OF SIWATOOL OR A REMOTE DISPLAY

The WP231 can be used as "Stand alone" weight, where you communicate via ModBus TCP or you can use togehter with S7-1200

But there are some Siwarex modules available for S7-1200 PLC: 1. These Siwarex modules can be connected beside the S7-1200 PLC. - For static weighing: Siwarex WP231 module. - For a belt scale application: Siwarex WP241 module. - For a dosing application: Siwarex WP251 module. 2. Also you can use the WP321 module for static weighing in ET200SP with a S7-1200 PLC. Best regards Siwarexi
