SIWAREX FTC is a function module of SIMATIC S7-300 which can be directly snapped onto the SIMATIC S7?300 or ET 200M backplane bus. Thanks to the snap-on mounting rail system, very little work is required to install/cable the 80 mm wide weighing module.

The load cells, the RS 485 serial interface, the analog output and the digital inputs and outputs are connected by means of the 40?pin standard front connector, the PC (RS 232) by means of a 9?pin SUB-D connector and the power supply by means of a separate 2-pin connector.

Operation of SIWAREX FTC in SIMATIC enables the weighing system to be completely integrated into the automation system.
