Application

The SIWAREX FTA weighing module is the optimum solution wherever high demands are placed on accuracy and speed.

Thanks to its outstanding measuring properties, weights can be measured with extreme accuracy in up to three ranges.

SIWAREX FTA can be used to design legal-for-trade dosing systems, such as filling plants, loading stations, bagging stations, rotopackers, mixers or test stations.

Typical fields of application include:

• Filling of liquids
• Bagging of solid matter (also big bag)
• Proportioning as deduction weighing or fill weighing
• Checking of individual quantities
• Loading or receiving of materials
• Static checking scale
• Check weigher (in combination with Wipotec load cells)

Function

The main tasks of the SIWAREX FTA are the high-precision measurement of the current weight in up to three measuring ranges, and exact control of the weighing procedures.

The weighing module controls the weighing procedures fully automatically. However, integration in SIMATIC means that it is also possible to directly influence the weighing procedures using a PLC program. This means that the tasks can be sensibly divided: The very fast weighing functions are implemented in the SIWAREX FTA, the interlocking and logic functions in the SIMATIC CPU.
