The primary task of SIWAREX WT231 is the measurement and conversion of sensor voltage into a weight value. Up to three interpolation points are used for the weight calculation. The signal can also be digitally filtered if required.

Weighing functions

There are commands available for zeroing and taring. Up to three different tare default values can be activated. The SIWAREX WT231 is calibrated at the factory. This means the scale can be automatically adjusted without adjustment weights, and modules can be replaced without the need to readjust the scale.

Monitoring and control of the scale signals and states

In addition to weight determination, the SIWAREX WT231 monitors two freely programmable limits (optionally min/max) as well as the empty range. A violation of the limit values is signaled.

Software

The touch panel is preconfigured with the SIWAREX "Ready for use" software. Thus the user interface is clearly structured and can be operated intuitively; the languages German, English, French, and Chinese are available. The structured menu-based operation facilitates the operation of the scale and supports the user through guided commissioning.

Furthermore, a variety of diagnostics options are offered. Using the trace function, weighing histories can be recorded and exported. There is also the option of simulating the behavior of the scale with the device.

The service tool "SIWATOOL V7", which is included in the optional configuration package, is required for reading out this trace data. In addition, using SIWATOOL a scale backup can be created and reimported whenever required. Thus, in the event of an error, the WT231 can be replaced within seconds without requiring a new adjustment.
