Siwarex Weighing Systems

Automation with integral weighing and proportioning technology In addition to the accuracy when weighing and proportioning, incorporation of the weighing technology into modern automation systems serves to increase the sustained success of a company.

Requirements of scales in industrial processes The weighing and proportioning system is of significant importance in many industrial processes, where many different weighing tasks have to be handled. Both programmable controllers (PLC) and process control systems (PCS) are used to automate production processes. There are many different types of scales which work together with automation systems depending on the requirements.

Production automation places the following demands on the weighing technology:

• flexibility with respect to typical scale functions
• simple expansion of the weighing system
• adaptability to the automation task, and
• integrated communication concept.

Scales which can satisfy these demands can be classified as part of the automation system. In this sense, the scale is an intelligent automation object comprising:

• sensor technology
• controller and
• actuator technology and carries out its tasks according to the definitions of the control system.
