SIWAREX CS offers the following key advantages:

• Uniform design technology and consistent communication in SIMATIC


• Uniform configuration with SIMATIC


• Use in distributed plant concept through connection to PROFIBUS DP or PROFINET via ET 200S


• Measurement of weight or force with a high resolution of 65000 parts and an accuracy of 0.05 %


• Direct connection of a remote display to the TTY interface


• Simple adjustment of scale using the SIWATOOL CS program via the RS 232 interface


• Supports theoretical adjustment without adjustment weights


• Supports replacement of module without renewed adjustment of scale


• For use in Ex zone 2, intrinsically-safe load cell powering for zone 1 using Ex interface.

SIWAREX CS is the optimum solution wherever strain gauge sensors, such as load cells, force sensors or torque measuring shafts, are used for measuring tasks. The following are typical SIWAREX CS applications:

• Non-automatic weighing machines


• Fill level monitoring of silos and bunkers


• Measuring of crane and cable loads


• Load measuring of industrial lifts and roll trains


• Weighing in potentially explosive areas (zone 2 direct, zone 1 using Ex interface SIWAREX IS)


• Monitoring of belt tension


• Force measuring, container weighers, platform scales and crane scales
