DatasheetThe digital junction box SIWAREX DB ensures, through continuous integration, that data can be gathered and analyzed more comprehensively than ever before.
This data can be optimally used for targeted monitoring of weighing processes as well as for advanced diagnostics and simplified service.
Error messages for each connected load cell are displayed centrally on the SIMATIC controller or HMI panel.
Even during commissioning, the load of each individual load cell is visible.
SIWAREX DB allows the connection of a scale with up to four load cells and, thanks to the digitalization of the well-established strain gauge technology,
offers complete flexibility in plant design.
Using the SIWAREX WP231 as weighing module allows a seamless connection to a SIMATIC S7 CPU for the SIMATIC S7-1200 system,
while for the distributed I/O system SIMATIC ET 200SP, the SIWAREX WP321 weighing module is recommended.
With protection class IP66, the robust housing of the SIWAREX DB makes it suitable for weighing applications even in demanding industrial environments.
