7.7 Service with the SIWATOOL program
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. 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. If the data record is not received, the danger exists that
different offline parameters will be sent to the scale and overwrite previously active and
intentionally defined parameters.

Offline parameter assignment
All scale parameters can be edited and saved without an electronic weighing system.
This reduces the setup time. You can thus prepare the parameters for several scales in your
office, and subsequently transfer them to the electronic weighing system during setup.
Data from one scale currently in operation can be exported and used to set up another scale.

IP address for SIWAREX
The factory-set IP address is 192.168.0.21. This address is also preset in SIWATOOL. The
connection to a SIWAREX module can be established immediately. The network card used
must be configured for this network.
If the connection is to be established to a specific SIWAREX module, its IP address must be
set in SIWATOOL. The setting is carried out with the menu item "Communication/Set
Ethernet Configuration...".
If the IP address of a SIWAREX module is unknown, it can be determined using the
additional program "Primary Setup Tool". The program is included in the SIWAREX
configuration package.
During the setup, a new IP address can be assigned to the module using SIWATOOL.
The assignment of a new IP address to a SIWAREX module is necessary if several
SIWAREX modules are present in one network.
The following ports are used by SIWAREX:
● SIWATOOL port: 23006
● MODBUS TCP/IP port: 502
● TFTP for firmware download port: 69
