SIWAREX Dosing, Filling, Bagging & Checking Scales
SIWAREX WP351
The right choice for many demanding weighing applications.
Due to the intelligent firmware the weighing process is controlled autonomously directly from the module. In addition, the high-speed sampling rate and processing time of 1000 Hz guarantee optimal performance and repeatability.
The connection of standard load cells according to the strain gauge principle avoids any manufacturer dependence. As a result, a large range of compatible, globally recognized and field-proven sensors can be used.
The high-performance SIWAREX WP351 is packed into an ultra-compact design. With a width of only 20 mm and a height of 65 mm, it is one of the smallest weighing electronics worldwide.
Because it can be integrated seamlessly into the ET 200SP system, it can be directly connected to SIMATIC PLC systems such as S7-300, -400, -1200 and -1500, making it a smart alternative to “black-box” weighing terminals.
The ET 200SP interface module IM155-6MF HF enables an easy connection to Ethernet IP- or Modbus TCP-based automation systems.

Design
The SIWAREX WP351 is a technology module of the SIMATIC ET 200SP distributed I/O system.
Installation is on a type U0 BaseUnit. The load cells, serial RS 485 interface and digital inputs/outputs are wired directly on the BaseUnit with user-friendly push-in terminals. This makes is quick and easy to replace modules without any wiring effort.
The web server is addressed via an Ethernet interface in the module. Should more interfaces and I/O be required, they can be added with the ET 200SP system components.
Application
SIWAREX WP351 offers a compact and extremely versatile solution for automatic and non automatic scale applications with high requirements for accuracy and performance.
Typical areas of application include:
- Silo, hopper and platform scales, requiring official calibration/not requiring official calibration
- Totalising automatic weighing instruments, requiring official calibration/not requiring official calibration
- Filling scales, requiring official calibration/not requiring official calibration
- Static checking scales, requiring official calibration/not requiring official calibration
- Automatic dynamic checking scales, not requiring official calibration
- Recipe-controlled batch/mixing scales
