Commissioning
7.5 Service with the SIWATOOL program
In order to archive data, all data can be exported from the SIWAREX module and saved as a
file or printed.
Note
You can edit all data in the SIWAREX module in online mode. The changes are not
automatically imported into the corresponding scale data block in the SIMATIC CPU. This
data synchronization must then be started in the CPU using the corresponding command
To download the data to the SIWAREX module, select the data record with a right mouse
click and send it explicitly to the SIWAREX module.
Online parameter trends can be recorded and played back using the recorder function
located at the top right-hand edge of SIWATOOL. You can use the "Configure recorder"
button to select the data records to be recorded and to set the save parameters. The
playback speed can be set using a slider.

Entering parameters with SIWATOOL

There is a defined procedure for handling parameters. The current parameters in the
SIWAREX module are displayed in the right-hand window, while the parameter values on the
PC are displayed in the left-hand window. The new parameter value is entered first in the
left-hand window. If several parameters of the data record are to be changed, they are
entered consecutively. The data record is subsequently selected in the tree view and sent to
the SIWAREX modules using the right mouse button.
Parameters are always changed as complete data records, rather than individually.
7.5.7

Recording scale traces

Scale traces can be recorded and exported using SIWATOOL. The recording is started and
stopped using commands, and recorded traces can also be deleted. The trace recording
cycle is set in data record DR7. The "Export trace data" button opens a dialog window. The
trace is displayed in this window as a table or graphic, and the data can be exported to csv
or Excel and then processed further. The commands for starting and stopping are present in
the "Trace commands" group (yellow memory card icon) in SIWATOOL.
All important measured values, messages and changes in status are recorded.
