When measuring force, the designed incorporation of force measuring technology is a significant feature in modern automation systems in addition to the accuracy.

The force measuring modules are based on the same concept for measuring technology incorporation on the automation as the weighing modules. The description concerning this is found in the "Weighing electronics” chapter.

SIWAREX CF is a transmitter for connecting strain-gauge sensors for tasks such as measuring force and torque. The compact module is easy to install in all SIMATIC automation systems. Complete data access to the current measured values is then possible via the SIMATIC.
