3. Establish the communication to the Siwarex CS module

Start the Siwatool CS software into Windows:

For establishing the communication between the Siwarex CS module and the Siwatool software, click the button Online.:

4. Adjustment with an adjustment weight

4.1 Set the SIWATOOL parameters
When the communication is established check the following parameter-settings:

Adj.weight 1: Enter the value of the adjustment weight. The adjustment weight is an integer-value (up to 32767). For example: a) For a 20 kg scale you may use a resolution of 1 g: - the parameter Adj. weight 1 is set into gram (e.g. 20000). - the parameter Numeral step (index card Scales parameter) is set to 1. - the parameter Decimal point (index card Scales parameter) is set to 0. - the parameter Weight unit (index card Scales parameter) is set to gr. b) For a 40 kg scale you may use a resolution of 10 g: - the parameter Adj. weight 1 is set into gram x10 (e.g. 4000). - the parameter Numeral step (index card Scales parameter) is set to 1. - the parameter Decimal point (index card Scales parameter) is set to 2. - the parameter Weight unit (index card Scales parameter) is set to kg

Siemens AG SIWAREX_CS_Quick Guide_V4.0.doc, 08/2009

The decimal point is not part of the integer-value and is only used for the Siwatool-display (and a remote display, if available). That means the numeral step and the decimal point have to determine, so that the displayed weight value (weight value = integer-value) will not increase the value of 32767. Characteristic Value: Characteristic value of the load cell. The specification of the characteristic value can be read into the techincal data sheet of the load cell. Limit frequence: If this parameter is set to 5 Hz, the scale will respond quickly to a weight change; if it is set to 0.05 Hz, the scale will move slowly. Step response of the limit frequence of 2 Hz: Critical damping

Depth of average value filter: The average value filter ensures a stable weight value and prevents interference. The weight is measured according to the average value of n weight values. If n = 10, 10 weight values will be used for calculating the average value. The earliest value is discarded every 20 milliseconds and the latest value will be added for the calculation.

Standstill range and Standstill time: Standstill range and Standstill time (in msec) are used to monitor when the scale has stand still. If the weight change is lower than the specified range (standstill range) within the specified period (standstill time) the scale stands still. The monitoring of the scale standstill is used e.g. for the commands zeroing or taring. Neg. zeroing range %, Pos. zeroing range % and Weighing range: By executing the command zeroing the weight value is set to zero. With the parameters Neg. zeroing range % and Pos. zeroing range % the zeroing range is defined. The values are set as percent of the parameter Weighing range. The parameter Weighing range is the maximum of material, which will put on the scale. For example (see also the picture above): The zeroing range is between -20 kg (-1% of 2000) and +60 kg (+3% of 2000). Zeroing will be rejected if the current gross weight is too high or too low. After setting the parameters, click Send to send the changed parameters to the Siwarex CS module:

4.2 Adjustment procedure

Ensure that the scale is empty (not loaded) and execute the command Adjustment zero valid (3). The Siwarex CS module shows now the weight value 0.

0 kg

Afterwards, place the adjustment weight on the scale and execute the command Adjustment weight 1 valid (4). With executing of this command, the adjustment line is detected of the scale. The Siwarex CS module shows now the adjustment weight.

The adjustment is completed now.

5. Adjustment without an adjustment weight (theoretical adjustment)

If the adjustment is not possible by using adjustment weights, the scale can also be adjusted without adjustment weights, if the mechanical structure of the scale is correct. If the measuring logs are available, these logs can be used for the theoretical adjustment. If the measuring logs arent available, the default-values of the load cells can be used of the technical data sheet. The execution of the theoretical adjustment is handled with the help of the SIWATOOL CS software. First, the "Characteristic value" (e.g. 2 mV/V) must be defined in the DR3, index card: "Calibration":

Siemens AG SIWAREX_CS_Quick Guide_V4.0.doc, 08/2009

Then, switch to the "Theoret. Calib." index card. To execute the theoretical adjustment, the rated load for all load cells is defined first, e.g. 3 load cells with 1,000 kg each result in a rated load of 3,000 kg. (See also step 1. in the picture below) The Zero offset in uV/V (unit = V/V), and the Characteristic value (unit = mV/V) is then entered for each individual load cell. (See also step 2. and 3. in the picture below) These values are taken from the respective load cell measuring log. If the measuring logs arent available, the default-values can be used, e.g. Zero offset in uV/V = 0 and Characteristic value = 2.0:

After entering the data for each load cell, the adjustment digits are calculated and the result is displayed by actuating the button "Calculate adj. Digits". Then, the calculated adjustment digits can be integrated into the DR3 by actuating the button "Accept calculation":

The DR3 is then sent to the weight module with the new adjustment data with the button "Send":

Siemens AG SIWAREX_CS_Quick Guide_V4.0.doc, 08/2009

After sending the DR3, the command Characteristic curve shift (15)" has to be executed, when the scale is empty.

The theoretical adjustment is now finished.

6. Create a Siwatool backup file

Eventually you may save all parameter settings of the Siwarex CS module into a file Receive all data from the Siwarex Cs module the Siwatool software:

During the transmission from the Siwarex CS module to the PC, the following messagewindow appears:
