SIWAREX FTC (Flexible Technology Continuous Weighing) is a versatile and flexible weighing module. The function module (FM) SIWAREX FTC is integrated in SIMATIC and uses all features of the modern automation system such as integrated communication, diagnostics system and project configuration tools to its advantage.
3.4 Structure SIWAREX FTC is a function module (FM) of the SIMATIC S7-300 and can be read directly on the SIMATIC S7-300 or ET 200M bus. Installation / cabling efforts for the 80 mm wide module is simplified with the profile rail assembly (snap-in technology).
The SIWAREX FTC has two serial interfaces. The RS 485 interface is used for connecting digital remote displays (for operation as a non-automatic weighing instrument) or force compensation load cells WM, WMH from the Mettler Toledo company.
During a service procedures, you can analyze the processes in the scale and test them with the help of a PC. Reading the diagnostics buffer from the SIWAREX FTC is very helpful in analyzing events. Besides complete access to all parameters, memory or print-outs of the weighing file, the program can create weighing curves as well.
The weighing logs are stored on an MMC (Micro Memory Card) that can be inserted into the SIWAREX FTC. If a person disagrees with the results of a certain weighing procedure, the weighing data for that weighing procedure can be reconstructed from the MMC memory.

For a connection of load cells in zone 2 it is sufficient, that the load cells also have an approval for zone 2 and all associated directives as well as the installation instructions are respected.
5 Weighing Functions and Parameters 5.1 General The SIWAREX FTC can be used as a Non Automatic Weighing Instrument, for force measurement, belt scale, loss-in-weight scale or as bulk flow measurement device. The operating mode is set once when commissioning the scale in the adjustment data area (data record 3).
The parameters of a data record are shown in a table to start with. This is then followed by the exact parameter description for the parameters of that data record. After the receipt of new parameters, SIWAREX FTC performs a SIWAREX FTC...
If there is a parameter error then the data record will not be accepted (stored) by the SIWAREX FTC and a "synchronous" message is generated (see chapter Messages and Diagnosis 5.2 DR3 Adjustment Parameters...

FIGURE 5-1 Adjustment Digits and Weight Value If the adjustment weights and adjustment digits of a SIWAREX FTC are known then the adjustment procedure does not need to be performed. They are simply sent to the SIWAREX FTC in the DR3 data record and the scale is immediately operational (after official calibration of the scale, it is no longer possible to send DR3).
Page 50
Linearization of the scale characteristic curve The characteristic curve is converted for bi-directional operation in "Force measurement" operating mode. The following image shows the relationship between effective force and the adjustment digits. FIGURE 5-3 Adjustment Digits and Force 5-38 SIWAREX FTC...
Depending on the characteristic value of the connected load cells, the value 1 mV/V, 2 mV/V or 4 mV/V must be selected. Since the SIWAREX FTC supplies the load cells with approximately 10 V, the measuring input is redefined according to the expected measurement voltage (max.
The weight value is based on the average of the n weight values that the SIWAREX FTC calculates every 10 msec, e.g. if n=10, 10 values are used for calculating the average value. Every 10 ms, the oldest value drops out of the calculation and the newest is considered in the calculation.
The current weight can be used for calibrating purposes (with the numeral step for measurement range 1) only under the maximum weight. The maximum weight is defined during adjustment. The maximum weight depends on the number and type of load cells used and the required weight range. SIWAREX FTC 5-41...

Hardware Configuration. SIWAREX FTC is projected as a function module in the SIMATIC manager. In order for the SIWAREX FTC to be accepted into the module assembly catalogue of the SIMATIC manager, the SETUP program (SETUP_FOR_SIMATIC on the project planning package CD) or hardware update by HSP (hardware support package) must be executed.
SIWA_ FTC. While programming the call, an instance data block is created for the FB SIWA_FTC. Besides the instance data block, a scale DB is required for every SIWAREX FTC scale, in which the scale parameters are stored. The UDT that comes with it can also be used for creating the scale DB.
A scale DB must be defined for every scale, in which the parameter of the SIWAREX FTC and the current actual value are found. The number of the DB can be freely selected. DB15 has been defined as the scale DB in the project planning package.
FB SIWA_FTC are read cyclically by the FB through the peripheral range. SIWAREX FTC updates the values internally in a 10 msec rhythm. Every update is assigned a number which can be used in the SIMATIC CPU like a time stamp.

9.2 Windows and Functions in SIWATOOL FTC_B The program window is constructed so that navigating through the parameter definition areas of the SIWAREX FTC is made easier. In the left-hand portion, the overview of the parameters is shown as a tree-structure. The parameter grouping corresponds with the various activities which can happen during the project planning, commissioning, tests and for service cases.
Tips can also be helpful in remembering the meanings of certain parameters (text is displayed if the mouse pointer is positioned over a field). After clicking on menu point "Help", the "SIWAREX FTC" manual is called. Installation of Acrobat Reader is necessary to read the manual.
The new firmware can slightly vary from earlier versions with small changes - this is the case if the data structure of SIWAREX FTC parameters are not changed. In this case, putting the new firmware on will not change the current data.
