Overview
SIPLUS SIWAREX U electronic weighing system
SIPLUS SIWAREX U is a flexible weighing module for all simple weighing and force measuring tasks. The compact module can be integrated into SIPLUS automation systems without any problems.
Note:
SIPLUS extreme products are based on SIMATIC standard products. The contents listed here were taken from the respective standard products. SIPLUS extreme-specific information was added.
Benefits
SIPLUS SIWAREX U impresses customers with its clear benefits:
- Uniform design and system-wide communication in SIMATIC
- Implementation in a distributed system concept thanks to connection to PROFIBUS DB/PROFINET via ET 200M
- Measuring of weight or force with a high resolution of 65000 parts and an accuracy of 0.05 %
- Space savings by using the 2-channel version for two scales
- Direct connection of a remote display to the TTY interface
- Easy adjustment of the scales with the SIWATOOL U program
- Theoretical calibration is possible without the need for calibration weights
- Replacement of the module is possible without recalibrating the scales
- Can also be used for Ex applications
Application
SIPLUS SIWAREX U is the ideal solution wherever measurements are taken using strain-gage sensors such as load cells, force sensors or torque metering shafts. The typical applications for SIPLUS SIWAREX U are:
- Fill-level monitoring of silos and hoppers
- Monitoring of loads on cranes and cables
- Measuring the loading on conveyor belts
- Overload protection of industrial elevators or rolling mills
- Balances in hazardous areas (using an Ex interface)
- Monitoring of belt tension
Design
SIPLUS SIWAREX U is a compact SIMATIC S7-300 function module (FM), which can be snapped directly onto a SIMATIC S7-300 or ET 200M backplane bus. The installation/cabling work is considerably simplified by the snap-on system for DIN rails.
The load cells, power supply and serial interfaces are connected via the 20-pin standard front connector.
Operation of SIWAREX U in SIMATIC ensures that the weighing system is completely integrated into the automation system.
Function
SIPLUS SIWAREX U is available with either one or two measurement channels. One measurement channel is required for each scales.
The primary task of SIWAREX U is the measurement of the sensor voltage and the conversion of this measurement into a weight value. The signal can be digitally filtered if required.
As well as determining weights, the SIWAREX U monitors two freely parameterizable limit values per measurement channel (min./max. as required).
SIWAREX U is already calibrated in the factory. This ensures both that theoretical calibration of the scales is possible without the need for calibration weights, and that modules can be replaced without the need for recalibrating the scales. In combination with “active bus modules”, modules can be replaced during normal operation.
Uniform, integrated communication between all system components supports quick, reliable and low-cost integration and diagnostics in process plants.
The SIWAREX U has two serial interfaces. The TTY interface is used to connect up to four digital remote displays. In addition to the two weight values of weighing channels 1 and 2, another two values can be set via SIMATIC and indicated on the remote displays.
A PC for adjusting the scale can be connected through the RS 232 interface.
SIWAREX U can not only be integrated in the plant software using the classic PLC programming languages; STL (Statement List), LD (Ladder Diagram) FBD (Function Block Diagram) or SCL (Structured Control Language), Graphical configuration is also possible in the CFC plan (CFC = Continuous Function Chart), whereby appropriate faceplates are provided in PCS 7 for visualization of the scales.
In contrast to serially linked weighing electronics, SIWAREX U does not need costly additional modules to link it to SIMATIC.
Integration into SIMATIC results in freely programmable, modular weighing systems that can be adapted to internal company requirements as desired.
Using the SIWATOOL U software, SIWAREX weighing modules can be adjusted with the convenience of Windows, irrespectively of the automation system. All the basic settings for the weighing modules can be specified in input screens, saved and printed out for the plant documentation.
A fast error search is assured in online mode thanks to the wide-ranging diagnostic functions of SIWATOOL U.
The SIWAREX U weighing module can also be used in hazardous areas (zone 2). An intrinsically safe infeed can be implemented for the load cells through an optional Ex interface.
