3.3 Design
SIWAREX U is a function module (FM) for direct use in SIMATIC S7 300 or for
peripheral operation via ET 200M. In this way, SIWAREX U can also work together
with SIMATIC S7 400 and other automation systems. The installation and wiring
outlay for the module is very small. The connection of the load cells, of the power
supply, and of the serial ports is performed via the 20-pin front connector. With the
operation of SIWAREX U in SIMATIC, there is a complete integration of weighing
technology in the automation system.
