In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial security concept. Siemens’ products and solutions constitute one element of such a concept. Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems, machines and networks.
The content reflects the technical status at the time of publishing. Siemens reserves the right to make technical changes in the course of further development.

Application planning Load cell dummies Load cells are sensitive sensors. To protect the load cells from becoming damaged during installation and transport, install the load cells only at the last minute. Replace the load cells during installation and transport with placeholders, so-called dummies or phantoms. Lifting protection The following figure shows a proposed solution for lifting protection.
Application planning 4.4 Overload protection More than three support points For more than three support points, the load bearing implement is usually statically indeterminate. With firm foundations and load bearing implements, the load is not evenly distributed to all load cells. The same applies to unstable mounts such as a steel construction. Two diagonal load cells bear the main load.
Application planning 4.5 Guide elements Overload protection in the transverse direction For the load cells with a load foot, the weight force is introduced into the load cells via bearing surfaces. Up to a certain degree, these bearing surfaces allow lateral movement of the load bearing implement or a change in its length as a result of expansion due to heat.

Application planning 4.5 Guide elements Figure 4-3 Arrangement of guide elements To ensure that no force components occur in the measuring direction, you must install guide elements at precise right angles to the effective direction of the load cells. Three guide elements are sufficient to statically fix a weighing platform or container. Note Weighing errors With four guide elements, there is a risk of the guide elements mutually tensioning, which in turn...
Application planning 4.6 Grounding cable Ensure that the guide elements to be used comply with the principles applicable to weighing technology. Grounding cable The grounding cable is used to protect the load cells from undesired currents. The causes of such currents are, for example: ●...
The load cell can be damaged when being handled improperly. Load cells are precision components. ● Observe the operating instructions for the load cell. SIWAREX WL200 Operating instructions (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109749190) ● Do not drop the load cell. ● Protect the load cells from shocks.
Installing/mounting 5.2 General notes on mounting NOTICE Incorrect assembly of the load cell Damaging of load cells, installation parts or load bearing implement With load cells of smaller rated loads, there is a risk of stretching the load cell bodies when attaching force transfer devices, e.g.
Installing/mounting 5.3 Mounting the load foot Depending on the installation conditions, the detailed procedure deviates from the following description. Mounting the load foot Introduction In this section, you will learn how to mount the load foot step-by-step. Before you start, note the following safety information: ●...

Installing/mounting 5.9 Checking the mounting Compensating differences in height Introduction At the time of installation, check whether it makes sense to compensate for differences in height. If load bearing implements and/or the foundation are elastic, it is not advisable to compensate for differences of height.
Installing/mounting 5.11 Dismantling Freedom of movement is essential for the proper functioning of the scale. 1. Check that the load bearing implement can oscillate freely within the pendulum travel of the load foots. – Slightly lift the load cells one after the other. –...

Service and maintenance 6.1 Care and maintenance of elastomer components 6.1.2 Service life / Control General information The service life of elastomer components depends on the design and the stress it experiences. Rubber is subject to a natural aging process. If it is stressed within a permitted range, you can expect a service life of more than 6 years.
