 Foreword

Micro Automation Set 6 Entry ID 22354065

Foreword
Micro Automation Sets are fully functional and tested automation
configurations based on A&D standard products for easy, fast and
inexpensive implementation of automation tasks in small-scale automation.
Each of these Micro Automatic Sets covers a frequently occurring subtask
of a typical customer problem in the low-end range.
The sets help you to obtain answers with regard to required products and
the question how they function when combined.
However, depending on the system requirements, a variety of other
components (e.g. other CPUs, power supplies, etc.) can be used to
implement the functionality on which this set is based. Please refer to the
respective SIEMENS A&D catalogs for these components.
The Micro Automation Sets are also available by clicking the following link:

1 Fields of Application and Benefit

Automation task
To provide good comprehensibility, the features of the Micro Automation
Set are explained using the example of an automation task.
In a packaging system, a check for completeness of the packaged goods is
required before delivery. In the course of this quality assurance measure
the goods are to be uniquely identified and all relevant data including time
stamp are to be logged.
It is to be possible to import the log data to Office Excel. The automation of
the logging process and the integration of the required components into the
existing infrastructure of the packaging system are to be possible.
It must be possible to apply the check for completeness of the packaged
goods also to other products with different content without extra work.
The packaging system is to be operated and maintained exclusively via an
HMI device. Operation is to be possible in German and in English.

 Fields of Application and Benefit

Micro Automation Set 6 Entry ID 22354065

Automation solution – Set 6

The automation solution uses an S7-200 controller and the SIWAREX MS
weighing module with single point load cell. The weight value of the
packaged goods is captured and compared to a reference value. This
enables to check whether all components are complete. The packages of
goods can be uniquely identified via a batch number.
The integrated time of day function and the memory module of the S7-200
controller enable a logging of the currently measured weight values with
time stamp.
Interfacing the S7-200 controller to a Windows PC using the PPI cable
enables an automatic readout of the log data. Alternatively to the PPI
connection data can be transferred via Ethernet, PROFIBUS or the
telephone network.
The recipe function of the S7-200 controller is used to manage the
reference weight of different production series.
Using a TP 177micro touch panel the currently running packaging process
can be monitored by screens providing German-English change language.

 Principle of Operation

Micro Automation Set 6 Entry ID 22354065

4 Principle of Operation
4.1 Capturing weight as measured variable and providing as value
Table 4-1
No. Function Note
1. The SIWAREX R load cell SB series is
used to convert a mechanical force into
an electrical signal.
Four expansion measuring strips (EMS)
interconnected to a Wheatstone bridge
are attached to the spring rod of the load
cell.
Copyright © Siemens AG 2006 All rights reserved

2. If a force acts upon the spring rod and

compresses or stretches the expansion
Set6_DocTech_v1d0_en.doc

measuring strips attached to it, an overall

misalignment of the spring rod can be
determined from the positive and negative
changes in resistance. (Measurement
voltage proportional to change in
resistance)
3. With the aid of the analog-digital
converter integrated in the SIWAREX MS
weighing module, a weight value is
continuously calculated from the
measurement voltage.

4. This weight value is provided to the

S7-200 controller in the variable memory.
The transferred value is a 16-bit integer
value.

4.2 Identifying product and assessing quality by weight comparison

Table 4-2

1. For each product a unique identification
number is read in e.g. by a bar code
scanner. This product ID will later be used
for tracking in the log data. After the
product identification a subprogram for

the quality assessment is started.
In this set, the product ID is generated in
a subprogram.
2. The subprogram checks the weight value
by comparison with two reference values: (a) Reference weight: e.g. 2,2 kg
• Weight reference value (optimum (b) Tolerance: e.g. ± 10%
product weight) (c) Real weight: e.g. 2,3 kg
• Tolerance reference value (maximum c

5.1 Preliminary remark

For the startup we offer you software examples with test code and test
parameters as download. The software examples support you during the
first steps and tests with your Micro Automation Sets. They enable quick
testing of the hardware and software interfaces between the products
described in the Micro Automation Sets.
The software examples are always assigned to the components used in the
set and show their basic interaction. However, they are not real applications
in the sense of technological problem solving with definable properties.

Note To parameterize the SIWAREX MS load cell, only the essential settings
are shown via SIWATOOL MS. If further parameter changes are to be
performed, the device manual with Entry ID: 22600601 is to be used.

Hinweis If the S7-200 controller used is not an S7-224 XP (with integrated analog
inputs and outputs), then the addressing of the SIWAREX MS expansion
module must be adjusted accordingly in the STEP 7-Micro/WIN project.

6 Live Demo
The features of Micro Automation Set 6 were “packaged” in an application
example of a packaging system looked at from the aspect of quality
inspection.
If the components have been correctly configured as described in chapter
5.3, the functionalities and features of program code and hardware can be
tested as follows.

What is displayed?
This screen displays the current process step (1) of the quality assurance of
the packaging system.
In the “Delivery” step, the is product delivery is simulated and a
product ID is generated (2). After a restart of the CPU
the start is performed with product ID = 1.
In the “Weighing process” step, the weight of the product (3) is displayed.
In the “Quality” step, the weight value of the product is compared to the
currently selected recipe data (5). The quality status (4) is displayed. The
logging of the quality result is automatically started but not displayed here.
After the “Quality” step, a new product is automatically delivered, thus the
“Delivery” step is started again.

OK With OK (6) the product ID in the “Delivery” step is confirmed and
the next process step is started.
START If the load cell is at standstill (9), start (7) confirms that the
product is on the weigh machine and that the “Weighing process”
step is completed. Thus the “Quality” step is started.

Manually reading out log data from the memory module

Double-click the shortcut (1) to store the logged data as CSV file (3) in the
installation path of Micro/WIN (default: “Drive”:Program
Files\Siemens\MicroSystems\Data Logs) (2)

Automatically reading out log data from the memory module

If a task for the automatic readout of the logged data has been created as
described in chapter 5.3, the CSV file is stored in the installation path of
Micro/WIN depending on the defined time interval.

Evaluating the archived data

To evaluate the archived data, we recommend opening the CSV file with
Microsoft EXCEL (4) and saving it as XLS file.
Since, according to the parameterization in SIWATOOL MS, the decimal
point of the weight is set to “2”, the value displayed in the log data record
under log_weight has to be divided by 100 to receive the weight in “kg”.
