10BSETTING THE SCALE – SIWATOOL U
11 Setting the scale – SIWATOOL U
11.1 General information
You can use the SIWATOOL U program to set the scale without commissioning of
the SIMATIC automation system.
This program is included in the configuration package supplied.
The program (directory SIWATOOL_U) must be installed in the first step. Less than
30 MB is required on the hard drive.
11.2 Windows and functions of SIWATOOL U
The program is designed to facilitate navigation in the parameter environment of
SIWAREX U. On the left side the overview of the parameters is arranged as a tree
structure. The parameter grouping corresponds with the various activities which
can happen during the configuration, commissioning, tests and for service cases.
Each branch of the tree structure corresponds to a data record in SIWAREX U. A
data record summarizes several parameters. In the right-hand window, the
parameters in a data record can be edited in index card format.
The first card in a box is set up as an information sheet. This info sheet describes
which tasks can be processed using the parameters from the selected data record.
For sending, receiving and transferring, the entire data record is always handled,
not just an index card.
11.3 Configuring offline
All scale parameters can be processed and stored without SIWAREX U. In this
way, the commissioning time can be reduced.
The parameters for several scales can be prepared in the office and then
transferred to SIWAREX U during the commissioning.
Data from one scale that is currently in operation can be read and used in the
commissioning of another scale.
11.4 Online operation
To switch to online operation, the PC must be connected to SIWAREX U with the
SIWATOOL cable (see
can be set up in the communication menu.
All parameters can be changed in online operation. A message window shows the
current messages on SIWAREX U. The current process values can be observed in
various windows. For test purposes all commands can be sent to SIWAREX U.
All data can be read out and stored as a file or printed for archiving purposes.
