Introduction Purpose of the manual This manual contains all the information required for assembling installing, wiring and commissioning the SIWAREX WP251 electronic weighing system. Document history The most important changes in the documentation when compared with the respective previous edition are given in the following table. Manual edition Note 09/2018...
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 only form one element of such a concept. Customer is responsible to prevent unauthorized access to its plants, systems, machines and networks.
Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more secure. Siemens strongly recommends to apply product updates as soon as available and to always use the latest product versions. Use of product versions that are no longer supported, and failure to apply latest updates may increase customer’s exposure to cyber threats.

Safety notes General safety instructions WARNING Handling of the device/system by persons other than qualified personnel or ignoring the warning instructions can result in severe injuries or damages. This means only qualified personnel are permitted to handle this device/system. WARNING Commissioning is absolutely prohibited until it has been ensured that the machine in which the component described here is to be installed fulfills the regulations/specifications of Machinery Directive 89/392/EEC.
Description Product overview SIWAREX WP251 is a versatile and flexible weighing module that can be used for operation as a non-automatic weighing instrument. The electronic weighing system can be used in SIMATIC S7-1200 and uses all features of a modern automation system, such as integrated communication, operator control and monitoring, the diagnostic system as well as the configuration tools in the TIA Portal.

Application planning Functions SIWAREX WP251 controls complex dosing and filling processes completely autonomously. The four digital outputs of the module can be used to directly control the dosing elements (coarse and fine flow). Maximum accuracy is achieved since the weighing process is fully independent of the CPU and its cycle time.
Application planning 4.2 Parameter assignment options 4.2.2 Parameter assignment with the PC The scale parameters can be quickly assigned with the convenience of a Windows program using the "SIWATOOL V7" PC parameter assignment software. You can use the program for commissioning the scale without any knowledge of automation technology.
The "Ready-for-Use" example application is included in the scope of delivery of the configuration package and is also available from Siemens Online Support. In addition to the function block, it contains a complete TIA HMI project for operation and commissioning of scales, which the user can edit in TIA.

Connection 6.12 Attachment of calibration protection plate 6.12 Attachment of calibration protection plate To operate SIWAREX WP251 as a calibratable electronic weighing system, the load cell connections must be protected against manipulation. To achieve this, mount the calibration protection plate included in the calibration set as shown in the following figure. Then attach the calibration protection plate to the associated terminals (see Overview (Page 29)).

If it is connected to a tank that is mounted on one load cell and two fixed point mountings, there are 3 mechanical support points.
Commissioning 7.4 Quick calibration with calibration weights and SIWATOOL Quick calibration with calibration weights and SIWATOOL 7.4.1 Introduction In order to perform the quick calibration with calibration weights, the parameters marked in bold font in data records DR 3 and DR 10 must first be defined. The procedure is described below.

Commissioning 7.5 Service with the SIWATOOL program Figure 7-6 Sending/receiving a data record in SIWATOOL V7 7.5.3 Offline parameter assignment All scale parameters can be edited and saved without an electronic weighing system. This reduces the setup time. You can thus prepare the parameters for several scales in your office, and subsequently transfer them to the electronic weighing system during setup.
(Page 223). Install the program "Primary Setup Tool". When started, the program can determine the Siemens devices present in the network. The MAC (Media Access Control) address can be read on the front of the SIWAREX module. Every device has an MAC address which is unique worldwide.
Commissioning 7.5 Service with the SIWATOOL program In order to archive data, all data can be exported from the SIWAREX module and saved as a file or printed. Note You can edit all data in the SIWAREX module in online mode. The changes are not automatically imported into the corresponding scale data block in the SIMATIC CPU.
Firewalls or other protection software may interfere with or prevent the transfer of data per TFTP protocol. In such cases, the respective protective mechanism must be temporarily deactivated for the duration of the update, or an alternative PC used. The latest firmware version can be found at Siemens Industry Online Support (https:// support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/109476228).

Following the transfer, the SIWAREX module must be switched off and then on again. This activates the new firmware.

Scale parameters and functions Parameters and functions The appropriate operating mode must be selected based on the requirements for the scale. For systems requiring official calibration, contact with the responsible weights and measures office at an early stage is recommended in order to define the correct operating mode and thus to correctly assign all parameters in advance.

Scale parameters and functions 8.2 Weighing steps In NAWI mode, WP251 also allows a set point to be set, which is then dosed automatically by the dosing functionality of the module. The dosing signals "Coarse flow/Fine flow" can be used to directly control the corresponding dosing elements.
Scale parameters and functions 8.2 Weighing steps 4. Coarse/fine dosing phase starts (weighing step 2) 5. If configured and necessary, post-dosing occurs (DR 22) (weighing step 3) 6. Dosing result is automatically checked and logged (weighing step 4) 7. Scale is emptied, if necessary (based on setting in DR 25) (weighing step 5) 8.
Scale parameters and functions 8.2 Weighing steps In contrast to NAWI mode, the logging of the dosed single weight is written automatically to the log memory without an operator intervention. "Removal" means that the product to be weighed is dosed from the scale (for example, a silo on load cells with discharge valves).

WP251 waits in weighing step 0 for a new command from the PLC/user. When the command xyz is sent to the WP251, the command jumps directly to weighing step 4 and waits for standstill 2 (defined in DR 3).

Scale parameters and functions 8.3 DR 3 Calibration parameters The maximum weighing range depends on the number and type of load cells used, and for scales requiring official calibration additionally on the scale interval and the resulting resolution of the scale. For scales not requiring official calibration, the maximum weighing range corresponds to the nominal load of all load cells (number of cells multiplied by the nominal load of one cell) minus the dead load (mechanical setup).
Scale parameters and functions 8.3 DR 3 Calibration parameters NOTICE If the scales are not being used in legal trade operation (no OIML restrictions), fully loaded scales can also be set to zero once this function is enabled. The function can, however, be limited by setting a maximum and minimum weight for zero by power-on.

ESD guidelines ESD Guidelines Definition of ESD All electronic modules are equipped with large-scale integrated ICs or components. Due to their design, these electronic elements are highly sensitive to overvoltage, and thus to any electrostatic discharge. The electrostatic sensitive components/modules are commonly referred to as ESD devices. This is also the international abbreviation for such devices.
