V. 1.0 Table 1-1 Scope of this manual Note This manual describes the SIWAREX MS weighing electronics as part of the SIMATIC S7-200 system and should be used as a supplement to the manual for the S7-200. Note This manual contains a description of the module that is valid at the time of publication.
Overview of the chapter 1.4 Further Support Do you still have questions concerning the use of the SIWAREX MS? Then please contact your Siemens representative in the office or business location that is responsible for your area or technical support for SIWAREX Tel.: +49 (0)721 595 2811.
SIWAREX MS can be operated with the following S7-200 CPUs: 6ES7212-1AB23-0XB0, 6ES7212-1BB23-0XB0, 6ES7214-1AD23-0XB0, 6ES7214-1BD23-0XB0, 6ES7214-2AD23-0XB0, 6ES7214-2BD23-0XB0, 6ES7216-2AD23-0XB0, 6ES7216-2BD23-0XB0. SIWAREX MS can also be used with the S7-200 SIPLUS CPUs but SIWAREX MS itself is not designed for expanded environmental conditions: 6AG1212-1AB23-2XB0, 6AG1212-1BB23-2XB0, 6AG1214-1AD23-2XB0, 6AG1214-1BD23-2XB0, 6AG1214-2AD23-2XB0, 6AG1214-2BD23-2XB0, 6AG1216-2AD23-2XB0, 6AG1216-2BD23-2XB0.
3.2 Area of Application SIWAREX MS is the optimum solution wherever signals from STRAIN GAUGE sensors or load cells are to be recorded. SIWAREX MS provides high accuracy as weighing electronics. With measuring times of 20 ms (or 33 ms), the module can also be used for electronic evaluation for force measurement.
Force measurement, container scales, platform scales and crane scales 3.3 Structure SIWAREX MS is an expansion module for the SIMATIC S7-200 and operates together with other expansion modules of the system. The installation and cabling for the 71,2 mm wide module is minimal. Load cell, power supply and TTY interface connections are made with screw terminals and the RS232 serial interface with a 9-pin D-sub connector.
Integration into SIMATIC enables the processing of weight values directly in the PLC. SIWAREX MS is already being adjusted in house. This means that the scale can be adjusted to theoretical settings without using any adjustment weights and modules can be exchanged without readjusting the scale.
SIWATOOL MS does more than support you in adjusting the scale. It is very useful to analyze the diagnostic buffer, the contents of which can be saved along with the parameters after reading from the module. You can switch between languages German, English, French, Italian and Spanish in the program. SIWAREX MS 3-7...
For configuration, assembly and commissioning, the definitions from the manual for the SIMATIC S7-200 are applicable. This chapter provides you with additional information for hardware configuration and assembly, and for preparing the SIWAREX MS for operation. The technical safety information is to be strictly adhered to. Warning Unqualified intervention in the device/system or not adhering to the warning notices can result in serious injury or damage to equipment.
Hardware Configuration and Assembly 4.1 Configuring the Hardware SIWAREX MS is an analog expansion module running in the SIMATIC S7-200 automation system. The maximum possible number of SIWAREX MS expansion modules per rack corresponds with the maximum number of expansion modules of the respective CPU type according to the S7-200 system manual.
Hardware Configuration and Assembly Interference infiltrating the system through the power supply and/or protective ground Interference can impair the fault-free functioning of the SIWAREX MS. 4.2.4 Coupling Mechanisms Depending on the means of distribution (conductive or non-conductive bound) and the distance between the interference source and the device, interference can be introduced into the automation system through four different coupling mechanisms.
The respective potential compensation is mandatory for Ex applications. 4.3 Assembly When assembling the SIMATIC components and the SIWAREX MS, the installation, assembly and wiring guidelines for the SIMATIC S7-200 must be followed (see S7-200 manual).
Hardware Configuration and Assembly 4.4 Connection and Wiring 4.4.1 Connection Areas for SIWAREX MS All connections can be made from the front. Figure 4-1 SIWAREX MS connection areas 4.4.2 Shielding Connection Special attention must be given to the shield strip for the shielded lines. Only correct installation guarantees that the system will be immune to interference.
(the load cells must be connected in parallel). If the distance from a load cell to SIWAREX MS or to the junction box is greater than the available length of the load cell connecting cable, the SIWAREX EB extension box should be used.
The maximum distance between the SIWAREX MS and the load cell is applicable when using the recommended cables. The power supply (6V) for the load cells comes from the SIWAREX MS. (terminal EXC+ and EXC-). The connection should be made using the cable indicated in chapter 10 Accessories.
The two figures below show the load cell connection using 4-wire and 6-wire systems. Figure 4-3 Load cell connection with a 4-wire system Figure 4-4 Load cell connection with a 6-wire system The maximum distance of 500 m applies to using cables as specified in chapter 10 Accessories.

The analogue measurement value coming from the load cells is converted into a digital value with an analog-digital converter. A weight value is then calculated from this digital value. All functions of the SIWAREX MS then use this weight value to determine the status and for messages.

If the adjustment weights and adjustment digits of a SIWAREX MS are known then the adjustment procedure does not need to be performed. These are simply sent with the data record DS3 to the SIWAREX MS and the scale is immediately ready for operation.
Depending on the characteristic value of the connected load cells, the value 1 mV/V, 2 mV/V or 4 mV/V must be selected. Since the SIWAREX MS supplies the load cells with approximately 6 V, the measuring input is redefined according to the expected measurement voltage (max.
The average value filter is used to settle the weight value against interference. The weight value is based on the average of the n weight values that the SIWAREX MS calculates every 20 ms or 33 ⅓ ms, e.g. if n=10, 10 measurement values are used to calculate the average value.

5.2.16 DS3 – Tare Max. Weight T- The SIWAREX MS will accept any external tare specification, which is smaller than the max. tare weight (percentage of weighing range). The tare commands are also accepted as long as the current gross weight is still below the tare max. weight that can be parameterized.
A maximum value monitor is realized with the following specification: Switch on value > Switch off value A minimum value monitor is realized with the following specification: Switch on value < Switch off value The figure below illustrates the function of limit values 1 and 2. 5-28 SIWAREX MS...
The limit values can be defined in relation to the gross weight or the net weight of the scale. 5.4 DS 9 Info on Module No entries can be made in DS9. The data record is used for information about the module’s firmware version. SIWAREX MS 5-29...
DS 15 is used for external specification of the tare weight. Once specified with DS 15, the tare value is not yet activated. The transfer to SIWAREX MS tare memory is then done using command “Accept tare entry” (see command code 24). The specified tare value is rounded to the numeral step set in the parameters.

(external remote display type Siebert S102 or ASCII). 5.7.12 DS 30 – Runtime Duration When the SIWAREX MS module is switched on, a timer is started to ensure correct assignment of the messages in the message buffer. When the messages are entered in the message buffer, they are given the current time value from this timer.
Every command has a unique number. A command can be sent via various interfaces (SIMATIC-CPU, SIWATOOL MS). Each time a command is sent to SIWAREX MS, a check must be made to determine whether the command has been executed properly or not. The data and operating errors (synchronous errors, see chapter 7.5) generated provide...
