The SIWAREX FTA (Flexible Technology, Automatic Weighing Instrument) from Siemens is a versatile and flexible weighing module. It can be used wherever a scale needs to work automatically according to a defined plan.;The module can be used on its own, however it has been designed for use with SIMATIC.;The functionality of the scale includes, non-automatic, automatic for balancing, automatic for catch weighing and automatic for discontinuous totalising.

• Uniform structure and universal communication;• Uniform project planning with SIMATIC;• Direct application in SIMATIC automation system;• Application in the decentralised system concept by connecting to PROFIBUS DP/PROFINET through ET 200M;• Weight measurement or force to resolutions of 16 million parts;• Precision of 3 x 6000 d, calibratable (0.5 μV per e);• Calibratable display with SIMATIC HMI standard operator panels;• Several dosage speeds;• Smooth or step controlled dosage control;• Parameter definable inputs and outputs;• Standalone operation possible;• Extensive diagnostic functions

Typical fields of application are:;• Liquid filling;• Bagging in a packaging system;• Weighing catch levels, level decrease and fill weighing;• Catch level testing;• Material loading with totalising

Where weighing technology requires high speed and precision, the SIWAREX FTA is the optimal solution. The high-resolution scales can be built to work precisely over broad areas.
