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).
The SIWATOOL FTC program supports you in quickly performing and adjustment.
Option 1:
After commissioning and after adjustment, all data records for the scale are read
from SIWAREX FTC and are stored as a scale file ScaleX.FTL.
Identical scales can now be put into operation immediately. Connect the PC to the
new scale and activate the "Send all data records" function. This also transfers the
adjustment weights and the adjustment digits - the characteristic curve is defined
immediately. Of course, the same applies for exchanging a SIWAREX FTC.
Option 2:
Use the SIWATOOL FTC „Theoretical adjustment“ function and determine the
characteristic curve of the scale from the technical data of the load cells alone.
The case assumes proper construction of the scale (see
5.3
).
