DR 16 simulation value
8.16.1
Overview
Specifying a weight value using data record DR 16 disables the measuring input of the
SIWAREX module and "simulates" a weight with the specified value. The SIWAREX module
must first be released for simulation mode in DR 3 and then switched to simulation mode
with command no. 3.
Procedure
● Release simulation mode in DR 3
● Enter the weight to be simulated
● Transfer the data record to the SIWAREX module
● Start the simulation using command "Weight simulation on (3)"
● Stop the simulation using command "Weight simulation off (4)"

Weight simulation specification
Only use weight simulation values which are within the measuring range of the scales. The
word "TEST" is displayed on the main display during simulation and a status bit is set. From
the start of simulation onward, all parameterized limits, inputs and outputs etc. refer to the
simulation weight.
