Features

• SIWAREX FTA Weighing Module. The SIWAREX FTA (Flexible Technology, Automatic Weighing Instrument) from Siemens is a versatile and flexible weighing module. It can be used wherever a scale needs to work automatically according to a defined plan. The module can be used on its own, however it has been designed for use with SIMATIC. The functionality of the scale includes, non-automatic, automatic for balancing, automatic for catch weighing and automatic for discontinuous totalising. Features and Benefits. Uniform structure and universal communication. Uniform project planning with SIMATIC. Direct application in SIMATIC automation system. Application in the decentralised system concept by connecting to PROFIBUS DP/PROFINET through ET 200M. Weight measurement or force to resolutions of 16 million parts. Precision of 3 x 6000 d, calibratable (0.5 μV per e). Calibratable display with SIMATIC HMI standard operator panels. Several dosage speeds. Smooth or step controlled dosage control. Parameter definable inputs and outputs. Standalone operation possible. Extensive diagnostic functions. Product Application Information. Typical fields of application are:. Liquid filling. Bagging in a packaging system. Weighing catch levels, level decrease and fill weighing. Catch level testing. Material loading with totalising. Where weighing technology requires high speed and precision, the SIWAREX FTA is the optimal solution. The high-resolution scales can be built to work precisely over broad areas.
