SIWAREX MS MicroScale is a universal weighing module that you can use for a wide range of technical weighing applications ranging from container scales, platform scales, non-automatic scales, load measurement for continuous and discontinuous weighing, to tank level monitoring of silos hoppers and more. It provides an optimum solution for all measurement tasks involving strain gauge sensors such as load cells, force sensors or torque measurement shafts and as well as automation tasks involving a SIMATIC S7-200 controller.

The compact SIWAREX MS weighing module is simply integrated into the S7-200 automation system as an expansion module, making the full functionality and flexibility of the PLC world available for weighing applications as well. Used in combination with SIMATIC S7-200 CPU you can create freely configurable, modular weighing systems with one or several scales which can be adapted to your operational requirements. This simple ready-to-run combination is an affordable solution providing quality assurance through weighing, controlling and recording. Its features include:

• Measuring weight or force with a resolution of 65,000 parts
• 50 measurements per second
• Operating and monitoring with standard OP/TP
• Flexibility of making theoretical adjustment without adjustment weights
• Exchanging modules without readjusting the scale
• Easily expandable system by applying the same settings used for an installed scale to further scales
• Almost every DMS load cell represented on the market can be connected to the standardized interface of SIWAREX MS
• Saving measurement results for easy archiving using the data-logger function of S7-200
• Connection of a display to the system for the visualization of the measured values and input of data possible
• Easy integration in the decentralized system concept is possible by connecting to PROFIBUS DP.
• Simple parameter definition with the SIWATOOL MS program.
