Parameter assignment with the PC
You can set the scale parameters with the convenience of the familiar Windows interface by
using the "SIWATOOL" PC parameter assignment software. The connection is made using
the Ethernet port of the electronic weighing system and the standard network port of the PC.
You can use the program for commissioning the scale without any knowledge of automation
technology. When servicing is required, you can analyze and test the processes in the scale
independently of the automation system or Operator Panel with the help of the PC. You can
read out the diagnostic buffer from the SIWAREX module to assist you in the event analysis.
The figure below illustrates the structure of the individual program windows.
Figure 4-1 SIWATOOL overview
SIWATOOL does not only offer support when you set the scale but also when you analyze
the diagnostic buffer that can be saved after being read out of the module together with the
parameters. The display of the current scale status can be configured.
You can switch between several languages in the program.
