Siemens PLC Expansion Module for Use with S7-300 Series

SIWAREX FTC (Flexible Technology Continuous Weighing) is the optimal solution wherever weighing technology requires high speed and accuracy. It is a versatile and flexible weighing module for the SIMATIC S7-300 and can be read directly on the SIMATIC S7-300 or ET 200M bus.
The function module SIWAREX FTC is integrated in SIMATIC and uses all features of the modern automation system such as integrated communication, diagnostics system and project configuration tools to its advantage.
SIWAREX FTC can be used for creating container scales, platform scales, force measurement devices, belt scales, loss-in-weight scales and bulk flow measurement devices.
Connection with the load cells is done using 40-pin standard front terminal strips, the power supply is through a 2-pin plug and the serial interface is through a 9-pin D-type plug connector.

Siemens S7-300 Digital and Analogue I/O Modules

Expansion modules and accessories to support the Siemens S7-300 PLC range. Each S7-313 PLC CPU Base Unit may be expanded with up to 8 expansion modules. S7-314 CPU Base Units can accept a total of 4 expansion racks consisting of 8 expansion modules each.,All expansion modules share the following features:

Compact design
LED’s input signal status indication
Front panel connector for actuators or sensors. Connectors can be coded according to application, thus preventing the connection of an incorrect unit
No slot rules: the address of the input corresponds to the slot number
Modules may be configured and the parameters set using STEP 7 Lite software
Data is stored centrally. When a module is removed/replaced data is automatically sent to the new module, removing possible set up errors
