3.7 Overview of configuration options

Image 3-3 Overview of the SIWATOOL WP522 program window

SIWATOOL not only provides support for adjusting the scale, but also in the analysis of the
diagnostics buffer, which can be saved together with the parameters after reading the
module. The display of the current scale state can be adjusted.
The program can be switched between several languages.

3.7.2 Configuration via the Modbus interface

Alternatively, the configuration can also be performed on a SIMATIC panel, which is
connected directly to the SIWAREX module. In this case, the SIWAREX module behaves as
a Modbus slave. The configuration software project package includes loadable HMI software
for a SIMATIC Panel TP700 Comfort.
In general, all SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panels can be used for direct Modbus communication.
The use of SIMATIC HMI Basic Panels is currently not possible. A direct connection between
SIMATIC HMI Panels and SIWAREX WP521/WP522 via Modbus RTU is not approved.
The parameters for the SIWAREX module can also be edited on an external system, a PC
for example, and transferred to the electronic weighing system via Modbus RTU or TCP/IP.
You can find a detailed description of the mapping of the holding register in section → Scale
parameters and functions. (Page 67)
