1.3 Security messages

Siemens provides automation and drive products with industrial security functions that
support the secure operation of plants or machines. They are an important component in a
holistic industrial security concept. With this in mind, our products undergo continuous
development. We therefore recommend that you keep yourself informed with respect to our
product updates. Detailed technical information can be found at:
http://support.automation.siemens.com.
To ensure the secure operation of a plant or machine it is also necessary to take suitable
preventive action (e.g. cell protection concept) and to integrate the automation and drive
components into a state-of-the-art holistic industrial security concept for the entire plant or
machine. Products used from other manufacturers should also be taken into account here.
You will find further information under:

3.7 Overview of configuration options

The SIWAREX WP521 / WP522 is calibrated ex factory. This enables both automatic
adjustment of the scale without calibration weights and modules to be exchanged without
having to re-adjust the scale.
The Ethernet interface enables connection of a PC for configuring the electronic weighing
system or the connection of automation systems of any kind (Modbus TCP / IP).
The SIWAREX WP521/WP522 electronic weighing system can also be used in hazardous
areas (Zone 2). The load cell is powered intrinsically safe for Zone 1 applications via the
optional Ex interface, SIWAREX IS.
The SIWAREX WP521/WP522 can also be used independent of the automation system in
stand-alone mode. This scenarios provide numerous configuration options.
The user himself can determine the HMI device. However, the HMI device must support
Modbus RTU or TCP/IP. A custom operating style can be implemented.
The SIWAREX WP521/WP522 can be controlled remotely without a separate, local HMI
device. An HMI device can be used for multiple scales. The configuration possibilities are
almost unlimited.

3.7 Overview of configuration options

3.7.1 Configuration with the PC

The scale parameters can be quickly adjusted using the "SIWATOOL" PC configuration
software, which offers Windows convenience.
The program enables you to commission the scale without knowledge of automation
technology. If service is required, the processes in the scale can be analyzed and tested
independent of the automation system or operator panel using the PC. Reading the
diagnostic buffer from the SIWAREX module is very helpful when analyzing events.
The following figure shows the layout of the individual program windows.

 Product overview
3.7 Overview of configuration options

Image 3-3 Overview of the SIWATOOL WP522 program window

SIWATOOL not only provides support for adjusting the scale, but also in the analysis of the
diagnostics buffer, which can be saved together with the parameters after reading the
module. The display of the current scale state can be adjusted.
The program can be switched between several languages.

3.7.2 Configuration via the Modbus interface

Alternatively, the configuration can also be performed on a SIMATIC panel, which is
connected directly to the SIWAREX module. In this case, the SIWAREX module behaves as
a Modbus slave. The configuration software project package includes loadable HMI software
for a SIMATIC Panel TP700 Comfort.
In general, all SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panels can be used for direct Modbus communication.
The use of SIMATIC HMI Basic Panels is currently not possible. A direct connection between
SIMATIC HMI Panels and SIWAREX WP521/WP522 via Modbus RTU is not approved.
The parameters for the SIWAREX module can also be edited on an external system, a PC
for example, and transferred to the electronic weighing system via Modbus RTU or TCP/IP.
You can find a detailed description of the mapping of the holding register in section → Scale
parameters and functions. (Page 67)

Rules

Observe the following rules when connecting analog (strain gauge) load cells:
1. The use of a junction box (SIWAREX JB junction box) is required when more than one
load cell is connected (the load cells must be connected in parallel). If the distance of a
load cell to the SIWAREX WP521/WP522 or terminal box is greater than the available
length of the load cell cable, the SIWAREX EB extension box should be used.
2. The cable shield is always applied at the cable gland of the junction box (SIWAREX JB)
or the extension box. If there is a risk of equipotential bonding through the cable shield,
connect a equipotential equalization conductor parallel to the load cell cable.

3. Twisted wire pairs that are also shielded are required for the specified cables:
– Sensor cable (+) and (-)
– Measuring voltage cable (+) and (-)
– Supply voltage cable (+) and (-)

Image 4-4 Shielding in the screw gland

We recommended that you use the cables listed in chapter → Accessories (Page 169).
4. The shield must be connected to ground in the immediate vicinity of the SIWAREX
WP521/WP522. The maximum distance between the SIWAREX WP521/WP522 and the
load cell is applicable when the recommended cables are used.

4.4 Shield connection

You need to ground the shields of the load cell cables via the shield on the front connector
(shield bracket and terminal) ground.
Ensure that the shield support for the shielded cables are correctly assembled. This is the
only way to ensure the immunity of the system.
A cable is shielded to attenuate the effects of magnetic, electrical and electromagnetic
interference on the cable. Interference on the cable shielding is discharged to the ground
through a conductive cable shield bus. To avoid this interference from becoming a source of
interference itself, ensure the connection to ground has a low impedance .

4.5 Supply voltage L+/M

Only use cables with a braided shield (see recommended cable in the section Accessories
(Page 169)). The coverage of the shield should be at least 80%.

4.5 Supply voltage L+/M

Connect the supply voltage (24 V DC) to terminals L+ and M. An internal protection circuit
protects the technology module from reverse polarity of the supply voltage. The technology
module monitors whether the supply voltage is connected.

can also be controlled directly via a SIMATIC program or via DR18.

CAUTION
Unknown assignment of digital outputs
The assignment of the digital outputs is not known at the time of connection. Digital outputs
can be active immediately after turning on the power supply. This may damage parts of the
system.
Do not create a connection with the digital outputs before you know the assignment of the
digital outputs.

The digital outputs have no fixed assignment to process data ex factory. The assignment of
the digital inputs to function and the reaction to failure is made during commissioning by
setting parameters of the data record DR7.
The digital outputs of the two SIWAREX WP522 scale channels are electrically isolated from
each other.
The digital outputs are 24 V sourcing with respect to M and with a nominal load current of
0.5A. They are protected against overload and short-circuit.

Note
Direct connection of relays and contactors is not possible without external wiring. You can
find information about the maximum possible operating frequencies and the inductance of
the inductive load on the digital outputs in the section Technical specifications (Page 157).

5.3 Factory-set parameters

Connected to an S7-1500 CPU, stand-alone mode (DIP 1 in lower position) can be useful,
because SIWAREX WP521/WP522 then remains fully functional even in the case of a CPU
stop and can be operated (e.g. through an HMI device directly connected via Modbus,
through a coupled PC or through the digital inputs)

Note
If the switch ① is set to the lower position while the SIWAREX module is operating with
SIMATIC, the SIWAREX module does not perform a reset when there is a loss of power
supply for the SIMATIC CPU.

5.3 Factory-set parameters

The electronic weighing system described here is provided with factory-set parameters. The
parameters have been provided for a typical 100 kg scale based on three load cells.
Parameters which can be entered in % or time are preset in such a way that they provide
good results for most applications.
A quick start can be carried out with these default parameters (see chapter Start-up with the
operator panel and the Ready-for-use software (Page 38)).

5.4 Commissioning tools

The following options are available for commissioning the electronic weighing system:
● Operator Panel
● SIWATOOL
The SIWATOOL program allows you to commission the scale without an Operator Panel and
without an automation system. In the event of a fault, additional SIWATOOL diagnostics
functions enable fast analysis of the cause.

The module can always be calibrated in two different ways:

● Using reference weights: in the case of a calibration with weights, mechanical influences
of the scale construction are also partially taken into account.
● Without weights, using the technical specifications of the connected load cell(s): in the
case of automatic calibration, the accuracy of the scale is influenced by the mechanical
properties to a greater extent than with calibration using reference weights.
With both methods, make sure that the mechanical properties of the scale are flawless prior
to calibration.

5.5.6 Defining the calibration weights

Image 5-7 Quick Start 5

In step 5 you enter the calibration weights which are to be positioned on the scale during the
calibration. If the scale is not empty and the current contents are known, you can define an
"Calibration weight 0" with the current contents of the scale. With an empty scale, this
parameter remains as 0 kg. "Calibration weight 1" usually defines the first reference point of
the scale characteristic. A further reference point ("Calibration weight 2") can also be set in
addition. This is optional, and may not be necessary depending on the mechanical properties
of the scale.
Note that the interval between the calibration weights must be at least 2% of the nominal
load of the scale. With a 1 000 kg scale, a calibration weight of at least 20 kg must therefore
be used.

5.5.8 Calibrating the scale automatically

The scale can also be calibrated without weights. To do this, it is essential to enter data
specific to the load cells, and the scale must be empty.

Image 5-9 Quick Start 5

The number of points of support corresponds with a silo, for example, to the number of
clamps or feet of the silo. A quadratic platform scale with a load cell at each corner has 4
support points. The characteristic values of the individual load cells are required to calculate
the average characteristic value of the cells.
The formula for the calculation is:
(characteristic value cell 1 + characteristic value cell 2 + .... characteristic value cell n) / n
If the exact characteristic values are unknown, it is permissible to also use rounded-off
numbers (e.g. 1.0 mV/V, 2.0 mV/V). The nominal load of one single load cell (not the
nominal load of the complete scale!) must subsequently be defined.

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 to the corresponding scale data block in the SIMATIC CPU.

Select the appropriate data record in order to send or receive it (e.g.: "Calibration parameter
(DR3)") and call the command list with a right mouse click.

The data record is sent from the PC to the SIWAREX WP521/WP522 using "Send data
record".
The data record is sent from the SIWAREX WP521/WP522 to the PC using "Receive data
record".
The complete data record (all parameters of the data record) is always transferred, not just
individual parameters!
For example, if data record 3 is to be sent, right-click on "Calibration Parameter (DR3)". The
command list is then opened with the option for sending the respective data record to the
weighing module or for reading it from the module. All data records can only be sent to or
read from the SIWAREX as complete packets. It is not possible to read or write individual
parameters within a data record.
Different parameter-settings between PC and SIWAREX are marked in red in the
SIWATOOL:

Therefore the complete data record must initially be received for every change to parameters
within it.

The desired parameter can then be edited, and the data record returned.

Note
If the data record is not received, the danger exists that different PC parameters will be sent
to the scale and overwrite previously active and intentionally defined parameters.

Online parameter trends can be recorded and played back using the recorder function
located at the top right-hand edge of SIWATOOL. You can use the "Configure recorder"
button to select the data records to be recorded and to set the save parameters. The

5.7.6 Calibration method

5.7.6.1 Selecting the calibration method

The SIWAREX module can always be calibrated in two different ways:
● Using reference weights: in the case of a calibration with weights, mechanical influences
of the scale construction are also partially taken into account.
● Without weights, using the technical specifications of the connected load cell(s): in the
case of automatic calibration, the accuracy of the scale is influenced by the mechanical
properties to a greater extent than with calibration using reference weights.
With both methods, make sure that the mechanical properties of the scale are flawless prior
to calibration.

5.7.6.2 Calibration with calibration weight

When calibrating using a calibration weight, the identified parameters in DR3 / Basic
parameters are checked or entered:

Unit of weight:
The unit of weight can be selected from a list.
Maximum weighing range:
Exceeding the maximum weighing range (= the maximum material to be weighed) is
indicated in DS30, status 1-2, at parameter "Max 9e".
If the maximum weighing range is exceeded, this bit is set to TRUE.
Resolution d:
The resolution d can be defined in accordance with EN 45501 (0.0001 to 50). This parameter
is used for the weight display in the SIWATOOL software.
Calibration weight 1:
The calibration weight 1 and its corresponding calibration digits define the characteristic
curve of the scale.
A minimum calibration weight must be used as calibration weight 1; with a load cell
characteristic value of:
● 1 mV/V: 8% of the total rated load of all load cells
● 2 mV/V: 4% of the total rated load of all load cells
● 4 mV/V: 2% of the total rated load of all load cells

Number of load cells: 3 units
Nominal load of one single load cell: 100 kg
Load cell characteristic value: 2 mV/V
The minimum calibration weight which can be used for the calibration is: 4% x 3 x 100 kg =
12 kg
Once the above-mentioned parameters have been set in the PC, they must be sent to the
SIWAREX. Service mode must be switched on first. The DR3 can only be sent and the
calibration commands executed with service mode switched on.

After switching on service mode, a red wrench icon is displayed in the SIWATOOL next to
the weight value.

The DR3 is subsequently sent to the SIWAREX by a right-click on "Calibration parameters

All parameter settings in DR3 are now identical again between PC and SIWAREX, and all
parameters of DR3 are displayed again in black.
Following transmission of the parameters to the SIWAREX, and with a empty scale – i.e.
only the mechanical dead load (e.g. empty container) bears on the load cells – the

These are displayed in red, e.g.:

The DR3 must be read back in order to again achieve calibration digits in the SIWATOOL
which are consistent with the SIWAREX:

Checking the scale following calibration

If the scale is only used for company-internal purposes, a simple check is sufficient.
Perform the following steps:
1. The scale is unloaded and shows "0 kg".
2. Place one or more known test weights on the scale (but not the calibration weight which
was used during the calibration, so as to check other weight points of the scale in addition
to the calibration weight). Check the displayed weight value in the SIWATOOL.
3. Remove the test weights from the scale. Check that the display is "0 kg" again.

5.7.6.3 Automatic calibration (= calibration without calibration weight)

The scale can also be calibrated without a weight. To do this, the parameters identified in
bold type in DR3 / Basic parameters are checked or entered, and the data specific to the
load cells specified in DR10:

5.7.7 Firmware update with SIWATOOL

New firmware versions can be transferred to the SIWAREX module using SIWATOOL. In
order to transfer the firmware, the Windows firewall must be configured in such a way that
SIWATOOL is registered as an approved program. The FTP protocol is used for the transfer.
Firewalls or other protection software can interfere or prevent the transmission of data via
the FTP 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 under Industry Online Support
(http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/de/10807015/133100).

Note
The SIWAREX module parameters are preassigned with default values after the transfer of
the new firmware.
You should therefore export and save the original parameter values prior to the firmware
update. Following the firmware update, the saved data can be converted by SIWATOOL to
the new firmware version.

Saving existing parameters

● Export the current parameters
Select the "Receive all data records" function from the menu under "Communication".
The current parameter set is then transferred to SIWATOOL.
● Save the current data record in a file.

Transferring the new firmware version to the SIWAREX module

Note
During the firmware transfer, the SIWAREX module works restricted with the old firmware
version and the new firmware is loaded in the background. For this reason, you must not
switch off the module during the firmware transfer.

1. Set the SIMATIC CPU to "STOP".

2. Register with SIWATOOL on the SIWAREX module.
3. Use the function button to start the firmware download.
4. Select the current firmware file under "Firmware Download"
5. Click the "Start transfer" button.
Following the transfer, the SIWAREX module must be switched off and then on again. This
activates the new firmware.

You can update the firmware of a module using a firmware file.
To update the firmware, proceed as follows:
1. Make sure the module is not in use.
2. Open the module in the online and diagnostics view.
3. Select the "Firmware Update" group in the "Functions" folder.
4. Click on the "Browse" button in the "Firmware Loader" area to select the path to the
firmware update files.
5. Select one of these files. The table then lists all modules for which an update is possible
with the selected firmware file.
6. Click "Start Upgrade". If the selected file can be interpreted by the module, it is loaded
into the module.
7. If the operating mode of the CPU needs to be changed, you are prompted via dialogs.

WARNING
Prohibited system states possible
An S7-1500 CPU goes immediately to STOP mode when the firmware update begins,
which may affect the operation of an online process or machine. Unexpected operation of a
process or machine can lead to death or serious injury and/or property damage.

Note
After performing a firmware update, you must replace the affected module by the same
module with the current firmware version in the hardware configuration of your project. The
configuration will then comply with the actual existing configuration again.

A station can restart after activating the firmware. This will result in the failure of all modules
of the station.
If the corresponding CPU is in RUN mode, activation of the firmware can cause access
errors or other impairments of the user program even including sustained CPU STOP.

Scale parameters and functions 6
6.1 Parameters and functions
The electronic weighing system used here can be used for non-automatic weighing, for
examples, as a platform scale or hopper scale. They are not legal-for-trade.
All parameters are set to default values in the factory. You can restore the configuration to
factory settings using the "Load factory settings" command.
The default parameters are set such that the scale is immediately ready for operation. The
weight value indicates changes in weight on the load cell, but only corresponds to the actual
weight following a calibration. You do not need to re-enter all parameters. The advantage of
this solution is that you can decide which default values are to be retained and which
parameters need to be adapted for your application.
All parameters are divided into data records (DR). The data records are organized in steps
(tasks) to be implemented during commissioning or during the process.
The scale functions governed by the parameters are also described in the parameter
description below.
First, the parameters of a given data record are displayed in a table. The detailed parameter
description for the parameters of this data record then follows.
When it receives new parameters, the SIWAREX module runs a validation check. In the
event of a parameter assignment error, the data record is not applied (not saved) by the
SIWAREX module and a data/operator error is reported.

6.2 DR 2 command code

DR 2 is a special data record used to transfer commands to the SIWAREX module by
SIWATOOL.

6.3 DR 3 calibration parameters

6.3.1 Overview
The calibration parameters need to be checked and if necessary modified for all scales.
The scale is basically defined by calibration parameters and calibration operation. Any
changes in data record DR 3 require the service operation of the module to be activated. If
service mode is not active, all parameter inputs are directly rejected with an error.

6.3.5 Minimum weighing range

The minimum weighing range with the unit "d" (resolution) is set during the calibration.
The factory setting is 0 d. Falling below the minimum weighing range is displayed in the
status of the scale.

6.3.6 Maximum weighing range

The maximum weight is defined during commissioning.
The maximum weight depends on the number and type of load cells used.

6.3.7 Calibration weights 0, 1, 2 and calibration digits 0, 1, 2

The calibration weights and corresponding calibration digits define the characteristic curve of
the scales. A detailed description can be found in section Performing calibration (Page 76).

6.3.8 Scale interval

The scale interval for the weighing range can be defined in accordance with EN 45501
(0.0001 to 50).

6.3.9 Automatic zero adjustment

If necessary, the scales can be set semi-automatically to zero by the user by means of the
"Zeroing" command.
The automatic adjustment sets the scale to zero without a further command in the event of
slow zero drifting. Slow drift is assumed if the OIML R76 criteria for this are met.

6.3.10 Filling/emptying mode

With filling, the net weight increases when the scale is loaded. At discharge weighing, the net
weight increases when the scale is unloaded.

6.3.11 Weight simulation

For test purposes, weight simulation can be enabled instead of actual weighing. The
simulated weight is specified using the DR 16 data record. Weight simulation can, in certain
situations, facilitate scale testing and commissioning. The simulated weight is indicated on
the main display with the word "TEST".

6.3.12 Filter sequence

The weighing signal can pass through the low-pass and average value filter. The parameter
is used to determine which filter is first passed through.

6.3.13 Maximum tare load

The weighing module accepts any external tare specification which is less than the
maximum tare load (percentage of maximum weighing range). Tare commands are also
accepted provided that the current gross weight is less than the configured maximum tare
load.

6.3.14 Maximum negative zero setting limit (semi-automatically)

Zeroing defines the current weight of the scales as zero.
You can restrict the effect of the zeroing function by defining limits. The limitation is based
not on the current gross weight, but rather on the weight which the scales would display had
there been no zeroing (time of scale calibration).

6.3.15 Maximum positive zero setting limit (semi-automatically)

You can restrict the effect of the zeroing function by defining limits. The limitation is based
not on the current weight, but rather on the weight which the scales would display had there
been no zeroing (time of scale calibration).

6.3.16 Standstill range

Standstill monitoring checks whether the scales are correctly balanced. Scale standstill is
registered if the weight changes by less than a specified fluctuation in d (standstill value)
over a specified time (standstill time). Standstill monitoring is used in static scale mode
(commands: zeroing, taring). The diagram below illustrates how standstill monitoring works.

Image 6-1 Standstill monitoring

6.3.17 Standstill time

Standstill monitoring checks whether the scales are correctly balanced. Scale standstill is
registered if the weight changes by less than a specified fluctuation in d (standstill value)
over a specified time (standstill time). Standstill monitoring is used in static scale mode (with
the following commands: zeroing, taring).

6.3.18 Standstill waiting time

Standstill waiting time is a maximum waiting time for standstill upon the execution of a
command which depends on standstill (taring, zeroing, registering). A technology message is
generated if the command cannot be executed during the standstill waiting time because
there is no standstill.

SIWAREX WP521/WP522
74 Manual, 04/2016, A5E36695225A
 Scale parameters and functions
6.3 DR 3 calibration parameters

If the standstill waiting time is equal to zero, a command requiring standstill is rejected
immediately if there is no standstill.

6.3.19 Low-pass filter limit frequency

There is a critically damped low-pass filter for suppressing faults. The diagram below shows
the step response of the filter (f = 2 Hz). The entry "0" means that the filter is switched off. A
limit frequency of between 0.01 and 20.0 Hz can be specified.

Image 6-2 Step-forced response of the digital low-pass filter when f = 2 Hz

The definition of the limit frequency is extremely important for the suppression of faults.
Defining the limit frequency defines the "speed" of the scales' response to changes in the
measured value.
A value of 5 Hz, for example, results in a relatively rapid response to a change in weight; a
value of 0.5 Hz makes the scales "slower".

6.3.20 Low-pass filter number

The number of the filter defines the effect of damping. Values 1...4 can be specified. The
higher the selected filter number, the higher the effect.

6.3.21 Period the average value filter

The average value filter is used to steady the weight against random interference. The
weight value is based on average values that are incurred in the specified period.

6.4 Performing calibration

6.4.1 Calibration with calibration weights

The incoming analog measured value from the load cells is converted into a digital value in
an analog-to-digital converter. A weight is calculated using this digital value. This weight is
then used by all weighing module functions for messages and for determining the status.
The characteristic curve of the measuring system must be defined before the weight can be
calculated from the digital value. In the simplest case, the characteristic curve is defined with
points 0 and 1. The first working point (point 0) is defined by the empty scale (no load) at
their own weight. The load cells return a voltage measurement to the weighing module as a
result of the weight of the scales themselves. Following analog-to-digital conversion of the
measured voltage, the zero point is assigned to the digital value (calibration digits for the
zero point).
If the scales are loaded with a defined standard weight (e.g. 50% of the measuring range),
the new digital value returned by the analog-to-digital converter is assigned the standard
weight.
The characteristic curve can also be determined with a third point, which must be higher than
point 1.
Make sure that the difference between two calibration weights is at least 40 000 digits, as the
calibration command may otherwise be rejected.
The calibration procedure involves the following steps:
● Activation of service mode using the "Service mode on" command.
● Define the calibration weight and other parameters of the DR 3 data record.
● Transfer the DR 3 data record to the scales.
● Trigger "Adjustment weight 0 valid" for empty scales.
● Load the scale with the defined standard weight.
● Trigger "Adjustment weight 1 valid".
● Transfer data record DR 3 from the scale to SIWATOOL and save the data on a data
medium.
You must follow the correct calibration sequence with increasing calibration weights.

Load cell characteristic value Calibration digit 1 (ca.) when rated load is
1 mV/V 1 000 000
2 mV/V 2 000 000
4 mV/V 4 000 000

This defines the characteristic curve and the scale can now calculate weights for the full
measuring range.
The diagram below illustrates the relationship between calibration digits and the calibration
weight.

You do not need to perform calibration if the calibration digits and the calibration weights are
known to the weighing module described here. They are simply sent to SIWAREX by data
record DR 3 and the scale is ready for use immediately.
The SIWATOOL program facilitates rapid calibration.
Following commissioning and calibration, all data records must be read from the weighing
module and saved as a scale file.

Scale parameters and functions
6.4 Performing calibration

Identical scales can be put into operation immediately. Connect the PC to the new scale and
enable the "Send all data records" function in service mode. This transfers the parameters
for calibration weights and calibration digits, and the characteristic curve is determined
immediately. The same applies when you change a weighing module.

Note
Two working points are usually sufficient for determining the scale's characteristic curve. An
additional working point is only required for non-linear systems.
Specification of negative calibration points is not possible. However, the characteristic can
also be used in the negative range down to -2 000 000 digits. To achieve this, the
characteristic curve generated in the positive range is extended into the negative range.

6.4.2 Automatic calibration

Scales can be rapidly commissioned with automatic calibration. The accuracy of the scale
greatly depends on the entered parameters and the mechanical properties of the scale.
However, you achieve the best level of accuracy for the scales by using calibration weights.
During initial commissioning with automatic calibration, you must reset the module using the
"Load factory settings" command.
Subsequently specify the load cell parameters in data record 10. Command 82 "Perform
automatic calibration" then uses this data and the currently applied dead load to calculate the
characteristic curve of the scale. The characteristic curve is active immediately.

Note
The characteristic curve data in data record 3 active prior to execution of command 82 is
directly overwritten.

Automatic calibration requires the following criteria:

● Correct mechanical installation of the scale
● Scale is empty (only mechanical installation (= dead load) present on the cells)
● Load cells are evenly loaded
● There are no shunt circuits

6.5 DR 4 output the calculated adjustment digits

6.6.2 Effective tare weight - from specification

A tare weight can be specified in data record DR 15. You can activate a pre-defined tare
weight with a 1013 command. From this point on, the activated tare weight is factored into
the weight calculations. The "Delete tare" command deactivates the active tare weight. This
does not delete the specification in data record DR 15.

6.6.3 Effective tare weight (semi-automatic)

The corresponding command (see command 1011) applies the current gross weight as the
active tare weight. From this point on, the activated tare weight is factored into the weight
calculations. The "Delete tare" command deactivates the active tare weight.

6.8.5 Reaction of the digital outputs to fault or CPU stop

This parameter can be used to determine the reaction of the digital outputs to a fault in the
SIWAREX module.

Value Response
0 All outputs are switched off
1 The corresponding predefined state value is applied
2 Outputs are not switched off (continue)
3 Switch on all outputs

6.8.6 Replacement value for DQ 0, 1, 2, 3

The outputs are usually reset following a module fault (operating error) or SIMATIC CPU
STOP. This response is the default setting.
If an output is to be set following a fault, this response is defined using this parameter. The
"State of digital outputs on error or SIMATIC CPU Stop" parameter must also be set to
"Replacement output upon operating error activated".
The replacement value definition is then valid.

NOTICE
Risk to the plant
If an output is set following a fault (operating error), this can pose a risk for the plant.
Ensure that the parameters are correctly set.

6.11.2 50/60 Hz toggling

To improve the suppression of faults caused by the supply network, you can specify the
network frequency for signal filtering. The measuring rate is 100 Hz for the 50 Hz setting,
and 120 Hz for the 60 Hz setting.

6.11.3 Number of support points

If no anchor points are used, the number of support points is equal to the number of load
cells.
If anchor points are used in addition to load cells, the number of support points is equal to
the total number of load cells and fixed support points.

6.11.4 Load cell characteristic value

The load cell characteristic value is required to correctly interpret the output voltage from the
load cell. This specification is also necessary for determining load cell overload. The exact
value can be entered if the measurement log for the load cell is available. The mean value
can be entered if there is more than one load cell.

Example
Characteristic value = 2.018 mV/V

6.11.5 Rated load of a load cell

The rated load of a load cell is required for checking the maximum weighing range of the
scales. The rated load is entered in the specified units of weight.

6.11.6 Overload limit

The parameter causes the weight value to be checked for exceeding the overload. The
default is specified as a % value and acts on the specified characteristic value of the load
cell. An operating error is reported in case of overload.

pairs "Unit identifier" and "Port number" determines the logical connection of a channel with
the Modbus master if a common IP address is used.
If there is only one IP address available for the module and the same port number is used
(e.g. 502), the unit identifier must be different in order for each weighing channel to create a
logically separate connection.

6.13.8 Modbus TCP port number channel 1 or channel 2

This parameter is used to create a logical connection via Modbus TCP/IP. The parameter
pairs "Unit identifier" and "Port number" determines the logical connection of a channel with
the Modbus master if a common IP address is used.
If there is only one IP address available for the module and the same unit identifier is used
(e.g. 2), the port number must be different in order for each weighing channel to create a
logically separate connection.

6.13.9 Byte swap

With these parameters, the byte order of variables in the communication via Modbus TCP/IP
is determined.

6.15.2 Selection of process value 1, 2

The weighing module can communicate with an S7-1500 CPU in two ways: Just via the I/O
or by reading out complete data records. The I/O is faster and exhibits a higher performance.
Two free-definable channels are available in the S7 I/O (process value 1 and process value
2). Users can decide which scale values (see table) are to be made available cyclically at
these two parameters of the PLC.

6.20.8 Refresh counter for process values

Measured values are calculated every 10 ms in the SIWAREX module. A counter is
incremented by 1 each time. Once the counter reaches the value 65536, it starts again from
zero. The counter can used like a time stamp for the data record DR 30/31.

6.20.9 Current load cell signal in mV

Display of currently measured signal voltage of the load cell(s) in mV.

6.21 DR 32 alarm display

Data record DR 32 is used in the Modbus communication with Modbus master.
Operating errors or technology errors are reported spontaneously and the bit display is
extended approximately 3 seconds so that there is enough time to register the message. The
operating errors are displayed as long as the error is pending.
Data and operating errors are treated as follows.
If a function which is used to write to the holding register is completed with an error, the data
or operator error reported can be read from data record DR 32. The messages are displayed
for 3 seconds and do not need to be acknowledged from the SIWAREX module.
The exact cause of a parameter or operating error can be determined through additional
information. The additional information is provided in the message list (section Message list
(Page 124)).
At successful completion of a function for writing to the SIWAREX register, data record DR
32 does not have to be polled.

Alarm logging 7
7.1 Message types
The messages in the electronic weighing system described here are divided into three types.

Operating messages
System status messages can be generated spontaneously at any time by an unexpected
event. They include internal and external hardware problems which can occur spontaneously
during weighing.

Technological error
Technology errors occur spontaneously due to the weighing process.
The status bits are not messages in contrast. The status indicators describe the status of the
scale in normal operation and can always be observed and evaluated.

Data and operating errors

The data and operating errors are always a response to a command due to a plausibility
check.
These are data errors if a plausibility error has been detected in a data packet which was
sent to the module and receipt of the packet has been rejected by the module.
These are operating errors if the module cannot execute the sent command in its current
operating state.

7.2 Message paths

You can read out the messages using different paths. You define the path for forwarding and
processing of messages during configuration.
The messages are processed for two basic purposes:
● For display or recording on an operator panel for the operator
● For linking in the control software to control specific reactions in the process.
The following message paths are possible:
● Output of the message buffer to the SIWATOOL program (takes place automatically)
● Output by means of function block as bit field in Scale data block
● Certain operating errors can be transmitted as diagnostic interrupts to the SIMATIC CPU
and evaluated by OB82

Alarm logging
7.3 Evaluating messages with the help of SIWATOOL

7.3 Evaluating messages with the help of SIWATOOL

The electronic weighing system has a message buffer for each weighing channel. The buffer
can contain up to 60 entries. If the number of alarms in the alarm buffer exceeds 60, the
oldest entry is overwritten. The message buffer can be read out at any time with the help of
SIWATOOL (menu item "Read out all data records") and saved together with the scale
parameters. This facilitates the detection, analysis and correction of errors in the system.

7.4 Detecting messages with the help of FB SIWA

All messages of the SIWAREX module can be fully detected and processed in the controller
using the SIWAREX WP521/WP522 function block. The messages can be evaluated directly
in a signaling system by means of a bit signaling area in the scale data block. The message
texts are stored in the signaling system. The message text is output when a bit becomes "1".

7.5 Message list

7.5.1 Introduction
The message list is an overview of all messages that the SIWAREX module can generate. A
message can be quickly identified by the message code (number).

7.5.2 System status message list

Operator error (code 1000 to 1999) Error code Description and remedy
1000 Operating error pending 1000 Group message, at least one operating error exists.
1001 Watchdog 1001 Watchdog, error is displayed for at least 10 seconds. A seri-
ous error has occurred in the function of SIWAREX, e.g.
program error, severe electromagnetic influence on device,
etc.
Contact the SIWAREX Support if the error occurs multiple
times.
1003 Checksum incorrect parameter 1003 Checksum error at parameter. Critical error because the
parameters are no longer safe.
1004 Checksum incorrect program 1004 Checksum error program code. Critical error because the
program is no longer safe.
1008 Firmware version not compatible 1008 The firmware must be updated via the TIA Portal.
1102 ADU error 1102 AD converter error when reading in the measured value. If
the error occurs again, make sure that the EMC recommen-
dations are observed (chapter Electrical, EMC and climatic
requirements (Page 161)).

transferred file is invalid.

7.5.4 Message list data and operating errors with additional information
Additional information is available for most data or command errors. The cause of the error is
described in more detail using this information. If a data or command error bit is set, the
additional information is filled accordingly at the same time. In this way, both the error bits as
well as the additional information must be analyzed together in order to locate the cause of
the error in the program.

8.1 Overview
The commands for the electronic weighing system described here can be transmitted by
several interfaces:
● by the Operator Panel via the controller to the SIWAREX module
● by the Operator Panel directly to the SIWAREX module
● by SIWATOOL directly to the SIWAREX module
● by the digital inputs after corresponding assignment in data record DR 7
A data or command error is signaled if a command cannot be executed or if the sent data
record is rejected.
Detailed descriptions of the commands can be found in the following command lists:
→ Table 8-1 Command 1 ... 99: Service commands (Page 133)
→ Table 8-2 Commands 450 ... 499: Trace commands (Page 134)

Command code Command Description

1 Service mode On Turn on service mode
2 Service mode Off Turn off service mode
3 Test mode On (simulation) Turn on test mode. The simulation value from data record
16 is used instead of the measured value for calculation of
the process values.
4 Test mode Off (simulation) Switch off test mode.
11 Load factory setting The command resets the SIWAREX to the "ex works" sta-
tus. Then:
- All parameters and stored data are loaded with the default
values
- All message buffers (diagnostic buffer, trace memory,
etc.) are reset

61 Calibration point 1 valid Calibration point 1 valid / save values for calibration point 1.
62 Calibration point 2 valid Calibration point 2 valid / save values for calibration point 2.
81 Characteristic shift Move calibration characteristic. The command defines the
current weight of the scale as the new zero point (0 kg) and
shifts the complete characteristic without changing the gra-
dient. The command can be used, for example, in order to
compensate parts used for mounting calibration weights on
the scale at the end of the calibration.
82 Perform automatic calibration Calculating the scale characteristic curve with reference to
the load cell from data record 10. The calculated character-
istic curve is entered directly in data record 3 and 4, and
thus activated immediately after executing the command.
The scale must be empty when the command is executed.
83 Perform calibration check The command calculates the theoretical digital values
in•relation to the calibration weights using the load cell pa-
rameters from data record 10 and the adjustment weights 0,
1 and 2 from data record 3. The output of these theoretical
digits is made in data record 4. The function can be used to
check the plausibility of adjustment digits in data record 3,
which have been determined in a legal-for-trade calibration.
907 Apply load cell impedance The currently measured impedance value (DS31) is trans-
ferred to the DS 10.

9.1 General information
A SIWAREX WP521 occupies 32 bytes, a SIWAREX WP522 occupies 64 bytes in the I/O
area of the CPU.
The effect of the mode switch setting (see section "Ex-works settings of the operating switch
(Page 36)") on the reaction to CPU failure or stop must be taken into account. If the switch is
set to SIMATIC operation ex factory, the user use the parameters in DR7 to determine how
the module reacts to CPU failure or stop.
The function block can be used to read the current process values of the scale (weight,
status). It is also possible to set the scale parameters and issue commands (taring, zeroing,
etc.). A separate call of the FB is required for each weighing channel.
The function blocks described above including HMI configurations can be downloaded as a
completed example project ("ready-for-use") at: Example project "ready-for-use"

9.6 Triggering a hardware interrupt

You can configure which events are to trigger a hardware interrupt for the SIWAREX
module.
Based on the configuration, the SIWAREX module triggers a hardware interrupt for specific
events/limits. When a hardware interrupt occurs, the CPU interrupts execution of the user
program and processes the associated hardware interrupt OB. The event that triggered the
interrupt is entered by the CPU into the start information of the associated hardware interrupt
OB.

Activation of the hardware interrupts

For the device configuration of the SIWAREX module, you can activate the hardware
interrupts in the TIA Portal under "Basic parameters > Channel 0 or 1> Hardware interrupts".

Lost hardware interrupt

When an event that triggers a hardware interrupt occurs and a previous event of the same
kind has not yet been processed, no further hardware interrupt is triggered. The hardware
interrupt is lost. Depending on the configuration, this can result in a "Lost hardware interrupt
lost" diagnostic alarm.

● HW ID SIWAREX WP521/WP522: 257 (see → Image 9-4 HW ID of module in TIA Portal
(Page 141)
● Instance data block number of the function block: DB521
The function block can be integrated at the desired position in the user program using drag
and drop. Calling of the FB must be carried out cyclically in the control program.
FB "SIWAREX WP52X" is called once in OB1 for the SIWAREX WP521 module. For the
SIWAREX WP522 module, FB "SIWAREX_52X" is called once for each channel.

A separate FB call must be made in the user program for each weighing module. In this
manner, each scale receives its own instance DB (or a section of the multi-instance DB is

assigned to each scale) which provides the respective scale parameters. The input and
output parameters of the FB must be adapted for each call.

9.9 Working with the function block

Data records in SIWAREX weighing modules

All parameters in SIWAREX weighing modules are structured in data records. These data
records must be considered as connected packages and can only be respectively read into
the CPU or written to the SIWAREX as complete packages. Reading or writing of a single
parameter within a data record is not possible. You can find a description of all data records
and their parameters in chapter → Scale parameters and functions (Page 67).
Reading and writing of data records is carried out using special command codes which can
be sent with three command mailboxes handled according to priority within the instance DB:

Image 9-10 CMD command mailboxes

As shown in the graphics, a command mailbox always consists of a command code (Int) and
four bits (Bool). A command is set by entering the desired command code in the
"i_CMD_CODE" parameter and setting the respective command trigger
"bo_CMD_TRIGGER". The status bits "bo_CMD_InProgress" (command being processed),
"bo_CMD_FinishedOk" (command finished without errors) and "bo_CMD_FinishedError"
(command rejected or finished with error) can be evaluated in the user program.
In addition, the three command mailboxes are managed and processed according to priority.
CMD1 has the highest priority, CMD3 has the lowest priority. If all three command mailboxes
are triggered simultaneously by the user program, for example, the function block initially
processes CMD1, then CMD2, and finally CMD3. Cyclic triggering of command mailbox 3 is

Manual, 04/2016, A5E36695225A 147
Communication with SIMATIC S7-1500
9.9 Working with the function block

also interrupted by intermediate sending of a command in mailbox 2 or 1 for processing of

the respective command.

Note
Cyclic triggering of the CMD1 command mailbox makes it impossible to send commands in
mailbox 2 or 3.

A summary of all existing command codes can be found in chapter →Command lists
(Page 133).
The following equation for generation of a corresponding command code applies to the
reading of data records from the SIWAREX to the data block:
Command code = 2000 + X (X = desired data record number)
The following equation for generation of a corresponding command code applies to the
writing of data records from the data block to the SIWAREX:
Command code = 4000 + X (X = desired data record number)

Example
The following example clarifies the actions with command mailboxes and data records:
"Calibration weight 1" is to be set to a value of 12.5 by the CPU. Since "Calibration weight 1"
is a parameter of data record 3 (see section → Scale parameters and functions (Page 67)),
service mode must be first activated. This can be done with command code "1" (see section
→ Command lists (Page 133)).
The variable "i_CMD_CODE" must therefore be assigned the value "1" and the associated
"bo_CMD_TRIGGER" set to TRUE. Subsequently, the module is directly in service mode
(DIAG LED flashes green):
i_CMD_CODE = 1
bo_CMD_TRIGGER = TRUE
Since only complete data records can be read or written, it is recommendable to now read
data record 3 into the CPU. This is carried out using command code 2003 (see chapter →
Command lists (Page 133)):
i_CMD_CODE = 2003
bo_CMD_TRIGGER = TRUE
All current data from data record 3 are now present in the data block. The calibration weight
is then set as desired to a value of 12.5:
CALIB_WEIGHT_1 = 12.5
The modified data record 3 must now be written into the SIWAREX again. This is carried out
using command code 4003 (see chapter → Command lists (Page 133)):
i_CMD_CODE = 4003
bo_CMD_TRIGGER = TRUE
The new calibration weight is now present in the SIWAREX and can be used. Service mode
for the module should subsequently be switched off again using command "2".

Communication via Modbus 10
10.1 General information
The current process values and parameters can be exchanged via the RS485 interface with
Modbus RTU or the Ethernet interface with Modbus TCP/IP. It is possible to use both
interfaces for the communication.

Note
Please also observe the Security information (Page 9).

The following chapters describe the specifications for handling communication. The following
functions can be executed:
● Export parameters from the electronic weighing system
● Write parameters
● Export current process values
● Monitor messages

10.2 Special feature of Modbus TCP/IP connection to SIWAREX WP522

There are two ways to communicate with two scale channels via Modbus TCP/IP:
● Communication for both weighing channels vis port 502. The register numbers of the data
record tables for weighing channel B can be increased by the offset value 5000.
● Communication for both channels via freely configurable ports. The register numbers
indicated in the record tables apply to both weighing channels.
The assignment of a new IP address to a SIWAREX module is necessary if several
SIWAREX modules are present in one network.
● Modbus TCP/IP for SIWAREX WP521: Port: 502
● Modbus TCP/IP for SIWAREX WP521/WP522: Port: 502
or
● Modbus TCP/IP for SIWAREX WP522 channel A: port configurable, channel B: port
configurable

10.3 Principle of data transmission

This description is valid for communication via Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP/IP.

SIWAREX WP521/WP522
Manual, 04/2016, A5E36695225A 151
Communication via Modbus
10.3 Principle of data transmission

The standardized MODBUS protocol is used for communication. The master function is
always in the connected communication partner, while the SIWAREX module is always the
slave.
Data transfer is bidirectional. The master function is always in the connected module which
“controls” the communication with corresponding requests to the respective SIWAREX
module address. The SIWAREX module is always the slave and responds to the requests of
the master, provided that the address matches, with a response frame.
Each Modbus partner has its own address. The SIWAREX module has the default address
1. This address can be changed as a parameter (e.g. in SIWATOOL). This address is
without significance if the Ethernet interface is used because the connection is based on the
IP address.
If the RS485 interface is used, the following character frame is valid:

Start bit 1
Number of data bits 8
Parity Even
Stop bit 1

The following baud rates can be set:

● 9 600 bit/s
● 19 200 bit/s (default setting)
● 38 400 bit/s
● 57 600 bit/s
● 115 000 bit/s
Functions which can be used by the master are listed below. The structure and contents of
the registers are shown in chapter "Scale parameters and functions (Page 67)".

Service Function code Usage

Read Holding Registers 03 Read one or more 16-bit parameter registers
Write Single Register 06 Write a single parameter register
Write Multiple Registers 16 Write multiple registers

If a request of the master is answered by the SIWAREX module (slave), the SIWAREX
module sends a response frame with or without errors. In the case of a response without
error message, the response frame contains the received function code; in the case of
errors, the highest bit of the function code is set. This corresponds to the Modbus standard.
Afterwards, the master requests the data record DR 32 to check which process-related data
or operator errors exist.

10.4 Data record concept

10.4 Data record concept

The register assignment is an image of the data records. The chapter → Scale parameters
and functions (Page 67) describes the data records, variables and functions, including the
register addresses. The data records are always checked as complete data packets for
plausibility. For this reason, you must follow a specific procedure to change individual
parameters.

10.5 Command mailboxes

Corresponding command codes must be sent in order to execute commands and to read
and write data records in the Modbus buffer memories. These are described in more detail in
chapter → Command lists (Page 133). The following tables list the Modbus registers used to
process these commands:

CMD3_STATUS 0=job running; 1=job finished (1 cycle) USHORT 932
CMD3_QUIT 0=no error; <>0=error code USHORT 933

10.6 Reading registers

The method for reading registers depends on whether they belong to the writable data
records (DR 3 to DR 29) or can only be read as current values (DR 30 to DR 34).

SIWAREX WP521/WP522
Manual, 04/2016, A5E36695225A 153
Communication via Modbus
10.7 Writing registers

If you wish to read the registers from the data records DR 3 to DR 29, you must first export
these as a complete data record to the internal output buffer.
All Modbus registers of the individual parameters can be found in chapter → Scale
parameters and functions (Page 67).

Example
A parameter is to be read from data record 3 (DR 3).
● First, write register CMD3_CODE with 2003 (2000 plus the number of the data record =
read data record).
● Then write "1" for CMD3_TRIGGER. DR3 is now updated in the Modbus buffer.
● It is now possible to read one or more registers with the corresponding variable(s). The
data consistency of the registers read at this time is guaranteed.
You can find all further command numbers in chapter → Command lists (Page 133).

Example
A current measured value is to be read out from DR 30.
⇒ The register can be directly requested because its contents are automatically refreshed in
the SIWAREX module at the specified measuring rate of 100 Hz and are always available
up-to-date.

10.7 Writing registers

If you wish to write registers from the data records DR 3 to DR 29, you must first export the
corresponding data record to the internal output buffer using an appropriate command.
Individual registers can then be written. The complete data record must subsequently be
written internally using an appropriate command. A plausibility check of the complete data
record is carried out in the process.

Example
A parameter from DR 3 is to be written.
● First, write register CMD3_CODE with 2003 (2000 plus the number of the data record).
● Then write "1" for CMD3_TRIGGER. DR 3 is now updated in the Modbus memory.
● Now you can write or make changes in one or more registers with the corresponding
variable. If you want to transfer the written/changed register to the scale, you need to
write the entire data record:
● First, write register CMD3_CODE with 4003 (4000 plus the number of the data record =
write data record).
● Then write "1" for CMD3_TRIGGER.
● The data record is then transferred to the process memory in the SIWAREX module. All
registers of the data record are checked for plausibility in the process.
If the plausibility check fails, the complete data record is not written and a message is output
to the user (from the area of data/operator errors).

A.2 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.
ESD modules are identified by the following symbol:

NOTICE
Overvoltage on modules
ESD devices can be destroyed by voltages well below the threshold of human perception.
These static voltages develop when you touch a component or electrical connection of a
device without having drained the static charges present on your body. The electrostatic
discharge current may lead to latent failure of a module, that is, this damage may not be
significant immediately, but in operation may cause malfunction.

Electrostatic charging
Anyone who is not connected to the electrical potential of their surroundings can be
electrostatically charged.
The figure below shows the maximum electrostatic voltage which may build up on a person
coming into contact with the materials indicated. These values correspond to IEC 801-2
specifications.

 Appendix
A.3 List of abbreviations

Image A-1 Electrostatic voltages which an operator can be subjected to

Basic protective measures against electrostatic discharge:

● Ensure good equipotential bonding:
When handling electrostatic sensitive devices, ensure that your body, the workplace and
packaging are grounded. This prevents electrostatic charge.
● Avoid direct contact:
As a general rule, only touch electrostatic sensitive devices when this is unavoidable (e.g.
during maintenance work). Handle the modules without touching any chip pins or PCB
traces. In this way, the discharged energy can not affect the sensitive devices.
Discharge your body before you start taking any measurements on a module. Do so by
touching grounded metallic parts. Always use grounded measuring instruments.
