How do I program several SIWAREX WP321 in one project ?
The WP321 configuration package include several ready for use example projects for
one WP321 used with S7-1500 and S7-300 CPU. The projects are available for different
TIA Portal versions and for Simatic classic.

This TIA Portal ready for use projects have been developed in order to connect several
scales to a 1500-CPU or 1200-CPU which is connected to a panel, it has been
developed for use with TIA Portal V15.1 and newer.

For tag multiplexing a comfort panel is used (KTP basic panel do not support the
functions that is used)

The firmware of the WP321 module must be version 1.4.3 or higher to support the
Siwarex DB.

Classic CPU’s S7-300, S7-400 and ET200S are not supported in the project
Follow this procedure to handle the project:

1. Add the Siwarex WP321 in the HW configuration and note the numbers and names of
the HW identifier.

2. Set in the properties of the HW configuration the parameter “Diagnostic interrupt” for
each additional Siwarex WP321.
3. Open the FB "WP321_Multi_call"and the expand the array length of " ArrayLenghtMax”
Set the array length according the number of Siwarex WP321 in your HW configuration.
Pay attention the value is calculated as a zero offset (if there is one WP351 the value is
0..0, if there is 5 WP351 the value is 0..4) - Recompile the FB “WP321_mul_call”.

4. Set the number from the HW identifier in the “HW_ID” in the array of the WP321.
Compile and make sure that the instance data block interface is updated – then
download HW and SW to the PLC.

5. Copy and paste the HMI tag table “WP321Array[0]”. Rename the new tag table to
“WP321Array[1]”, “WP321Array[2]” etc. (in the brackets write the array number for
each WP321 E.G. [Array number]
6. Open the tag table and use “Task” to find and replace tag names and PLC tags

7. Tidy up the tag names, use “Task” to find and replace tag names
8. Copy and insert new Faceplates

9. Link or re-wire tags in the instance of the faceplate to the new tags
10. Set or changes the array index pointer for all 3 events on the faceplate

11. If it is needed add more screens for faceplates. Pay attention that when the screen is
loaded the screen number is set (for screen navigation control)
Remember to set the screen number when the screen is loaded

Find screen number of a screen


Set screen number on event “Loaded”
For a correct error reporting, don’t forget to give a name to each scale during
parameterization.
