Factory setting of the mode selector
Two DIP switches are located on the left of the Ethernet connector (accessible through the
ventilation opening).
The left-hand switch ① currently has no function. The right-hand switch ② defines the
operating environment.
Operation integrated in SIMATIC
Stand-alone operation (without SIMATIC controller)
The factory setting is "Operation integrated in SIMATIC".
Note
If the switch is set to the down position while the SIWAREX module is in operation with
SIMATIC, the SIWAREX module will not carry out a reset upon loss of power supply to the
SIMATIC CPU.
The following options are available for commissioning the electronic weighing system:
● Operator Panel
● SIWATOOL
The SIWATOOL program allows you to commission the scale without an Operator Panel and
without an automation system. In the event of a fault, additional SIWATOOL diagnostics
functions enable fast analysis of the cause.
