The electronic weighing system described here is characterized by decisive advantages:

• Uniform design technology and consistent communication in SIMATIC ET 200SP
• Parameterization of the scales via the control panel, CPU or PC
• Flexible configuration options in SIMATIC TIA Portal, SIMATIC STEP 7 and PCS7
• Measuring of weights and forces with a resolution of up to +/- 2 million parts
• 100 Hz/120 Hz measurement rate (efficient 50/60 Hz interference frequency suppression)
• Internal scale monitoring of freely definable limit values
• Easy commissioning using the "SIWATOOL" software
• Automatic calibration is possible without the need for calibration weights
• Modules can be replaced without recalibrating the scale
• Direct use in ATEX Zone 2 possible
• Wide range of status and diagnostic information
• "Ready-for-use" sample program
