Preface
Micro Automation Sets are fully functional and tested automation
configurations based on IA / DT standard products for simple, fast and
inexpensive implementation of automation tasks for small-scale
automation. Each of the available Micro Automatic Sets covers a frequently
occurring subtask of a typical customer problem in the low-end
performance level.
The sets help you to obtain answers with regard to required products and
the question of 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 IA and DT catalogs for these components.
The Micro Automation Sets are also available by clicking the following link:

Application Areas and Usage

Entry-ID 22354065
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.

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.

In this set, the product ID is generated in

a subprogram.
The subprogram checks the weight value

by comparison with two reference values:
Weight reference value (optimum
product weight)
Tolerance reference value (maximum
permissible deviation from the weight
reference value expressed as a
percentage)
If the real weight value of the product is in
the tolerance range of the requirements,
the quality of the current product is
assessed as good.

Note
Regarding the configuration of the SIWAREX MS load cell only the

settings required for this micro set are displayed via the SIWATOOL MS,
or have been realized in the Micro/WIN user program. If further
parameter changes are to be performed, the device manual with Entry ID:
22600601 must be used.
Note
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.

SIWAREX MS weighing module
What has to be configured?

Adapting the weighing module to the specific user case requires setting
over 20 parameters in the SIWAREX MS module. The delivery of a new
module comes with a factory setting, which meets the majority of the
applications. Using a command, these factory settings can also be restored
in retrospect. Adaptation to the application on hand requires performing the
following configuration steps:
1. Restoring the factory settings

The factory settings are available in the SIWAREX MS manual.
2. Define calibration parameters deviating from the factory settings.
The individual elements are:
V2.0
Characteristic value range

The characteristic value range depends on the connected load cell.
For a 6kg load cell a value of 4mV/V must be parameterized.
Calibration weight 1
Calibration weight, added to the scale during calibration. The
calibration weight must be at least 5% of the rated load of all
connected load cells. As a calibration weight you use an object
familiar to you, whose exact weight you know.
Weighing range
Each maximum weight which is generally not exceeded during
regular weighing operation. Limit value signaling and the permissive
limit of the tare input depend on the weighing range.
Decimal point for the remote display

It is decisive for the interpretation of integer inputs of weight
parameters. If 2 is specified (default value), then a calibration
weight 1 of 2 kg must be input as value 200 for a value 2.00 (kg)
to appear in SIWATOOLS MS or in a connected remote display, if
the scale is loaded with 2 kg (correct zero point calibration
assumed). The weight value transmitted to the PLC is 200 here
and is independent of the configured decimal point.
Weight unit
The (up to four) ASCII characters (e.g. g or kg ) are only used
for the interpretation of the weight display in SIWATOOL MS or the
remote display.

Configuration types
The SIWAREX MS weighing module can be configured in two ways:
Configuration via the Step 7 user program using Micro/WIN
Configuration via the SIWATOOL MS tool
Configuration via Micro/WIN is only possible from product version 3 of the

SIWAREX MS module. The product version: 03 is written on the right side
of the module cover. Whether the configuration is possible via the Step 7
user program using parameter transfer can also be read out from the
weighing module via the software.
The application on hand supports the configuration of the weighing module
via the Micro/WIN user program and indicates at the TP 177micro whether
the product version of the weighing module permits this.
As soon as all of the above configuration steps have been performed, and
the Micro Automation Set is supplied with voltage and ready to operate, you
select the Maintenance SIWAREX MS screen at the TP 177micro.

Figure 5-1: SIWAREX MS Firmware supports data record transfer to the PLC
As soon as the checkbox DS has been activated (black), your weighing

module supports a mutual transfer of the parameter data records between
the SIWAREX MS module and the S7-200 controller. In this case you do
not require the SIWATOOL MS tool for the application. The scale
configuration occurs controls at the TP 177micro.
Configuration via the Step 7 user program using Micro/WIN
Prerequisite:
The configuration steps up to those including chapter 5.3.3 were
performed;
SIWAREX MS product version 3;
The Micro Automation Set is supplied with voltage.
