Setting the Scale – SIWATOOL MS
9 Setting the Scale – SIWATOOL MS
9.1 General
You can use the SIWATOOL MS program to set the scale independent of
commissioning the SIMATIC S7-200 automation system.
This program is included in the configuration package supplied.
The first step is to install the program (directory SIWATOOL_MS). It requires less
than 10 MB on the hard disk.
9.2 Windows and Functions of SIWATOOL MS
The program window is constructed so that navigating through the parameter
definition areas of the SIWAREX MS is made easier. In the left-hand portion, the
overview of the parameters is shown as a tree-structure. The parameter grouping
corresponds with the various activities which can happen during the project
planning, commissioning, tests and for service cases.
Each branch of the tree structure corresponds to a data record in SIWAREX MS.
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
and not just one single index card.
9.3 Setting the Parameter Offline
All scale parameters can be processed and stored without the SIWAREX MS. This
reduces the commissioning time.
The parameters for more than one scale can be prepared in the office and only
have to be transferred to the SIWAREX MS during commissioning.
Data from one scale that is currently in operation can be read and used in the
commissioning of another scale.

9.4 Setting the Parameter Online

To switch to online operation, the PC must be connected to SIWAREX MS using
the SIWATOOL cable (see Accessories). The PC's COM interface can be set up in
the communication menu.
All parameters can be changed in online operation. A message window shows the
current content of the message buffer on the SIWAREX MS. The current process
values can be viewed in various windows For testing purposes, all commands can
be sent to the SIWAREX MS.
All data can be read out and stored as a file or printed for archiving purposes.
