Technology module for weighing technology

The technology modules SIWAREX WP521 and SIWAREX WP522 are used for the acquisition
and processing of signals from weighing or force transducers. You can connect one scale
(WP521) or two separate scales (WP522) respectively to the modules. The SIWAREX modules
offer high accuracy.
The table below shows the main features of the technology modules for weighing

Benefits
The weighing modules SIWAREX for SIMATIC S7-1500 offer you the following advantages:
• Seamless integration of simple weighing applications such as platform and hopper scales
in SIMATIC S7-1500
• Use for level monitoring, e.g. silos and bunkers
• Can be used centrally in SIMATIC S7-1500 and in ET 200MP distributed I/O system
• SIWAREX WP521 ST for the setup of one scale
• SIWAREX WP522 ST for the setup of two separate scales, with the same space
requirements as WP521 ST
• Free sample application on the Internet for the quick implementation of customer or
industry-specific solutions
