Serving with lates technologies, great value for money, above industrial standards requirements
SIWAREX WP231 is a versatile weighing module for all simple weighing and force measuring tasks. The compact module is easy to install in the SIMATIC S7-1200 automation system. It can also be operated without a SIMATIC CPU.
SIWAREX WP231 is a compact technology module in SIMATIC S7-1200 and allows direct connection to S7-1200 components via a sliding connector. The rail mounting of the 70 mm
(2.76 inch) wide weighing module means that it is extremely easy to mount/wire. The power supply, load cells, the RS 485, digital input/outputs and the analog output are connected via the screw connector of the weighing module. A RJ45 connector is used for the Ethernet connection.
SIWAREX WP231 offers the following key advantages:
• Uniform design technology and consistent communication in SIMATIC S7-1200
• Uniform configuration with TIA Portal
• Operation without SIMATIC CPU possible
• Direct connection of an operator panel via Ethernet
• Direct connection of a remote display via RS 485 interface
• Modbus TCP/IP interface
• Modbus RTU interface
• Four digital inputs and outputs, one analog output
• Measurement of weight or force with a high resolution of up to ± 4 million parts and an accuracy of 0.05%
• Simple adjustment of scale using the SIWATOOL V7 program via the Ethernet interface
• Recovery-point for the simple restoration of all parameters
• Supports automatic adjustment without adjustment weights
• Supports replacement of module without renewed adjustment of scale
• Use in hazardous area zone 2
SIWAREX WP231 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 WP231 applications:
• Non-automatic weighing machines
• Fill level monitoring of silos and bunkers
• Measuring of crane and cable loads
• Load measuring for industrial lifts and rolling mills
• Scales in zone 2 hazardous areas
• Force measuring, container weighing, platform scales and crane scales
