Rule 3: Fixing the cable shielding
● Ensure proper fixation of the cable shielding.
● Always use shielded data cables. Always connect both ends of the data cable shielding to
● Keep unshielded cable ends as short as possible.
● Always use metal/metalized connector housings only for shielded data cables.
Rule 4: Special EMC measures
● All inductors that are to be controlled should be connected with suppressors.
● For cabinet or enclosure lighting in the immediate range of your controller, use
Rule 5: Homogeneous reference potential
● Create a homogeneous reference potential and ground all electrical equipment.
● Use sufficiently dimensioned equipotential bonding conductors if potential differences

Mounting on the SIMATIC S7-1200

The electronic weighing system described here is a SIMATIC S7-1200 module and can be
directly connected to the automation system's bus system. The 70 mm wide module has very
low installation and cabling requirements.
The module is fitted on a mounting rail, and the bus connection made using the slide switch.
The load cells, power supply and serial interfaces are connected via the screw-type
connectors.
Use of the WP241 in the SIMATIC TIA Portal is described in detail in chapter 11 of this
