- Wide range of status and diagnostic information
- "Ready-for-use" sample program
Application
SIWAREX WP321 is the optimum solution wherever analog load cells are used for measuring tasks.
The SIWAREX WP321 is suitable for the following applications:
- Non-automatic weighing instrument (NAWI), e.g. platform and hopper scales
- Fill-level monitoring of silos and bins
- Measuring of crane and cable loads
- Force measurements
- Monitoring of belt tensions
- Setup of scales in hazardous areas
Function
The primary task of the weighing electronics is to determine the current weight and force values on the basis of signals supplied by the connected sensors. The seamless integration into the SIMATIC environment allows users to process values directly in any available programming language of the CPU. If the freely selectable and internally monitored values exceed or fall below the set limits, the system will directly report this to the controller. Also, users can easily read out and evaluate a variety of status and diagnostic information in the CPU.
The SIWAREX WP321 is calibrated in the factory. This not only permits automatic calibration of the scales (without the need for calibration weights), but also the replacement of modules without the need for recalibration.
Engineers can connect a PC to the integral RS 485 interface to set the parameters of the weighing electronics using the "SIWATOOL" software. For this purpose, you need a USB - RS 485 interface converter.
Thanks to its seamless integration into the SIMATIC environment, the use of SIWAREX weighing electronics does not require any complicated or expensive communication drivers for the scales.
Engineers can create programmable weighing applications tailored to any situation. Then, in combination with the functionalities of the TIA Portal, the SIMATIC Manager, and WinCC flexible, you can adapt or extend these applications at any time.
