Legal information
Warning notice system
This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent
damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.
DANGER
indicates that death or severe personal injury
will
result if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury
may
result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will
be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to
property damage.
Qualified Personnel
The product/system described in this documentation may be operated only by
personnel qualified
for the specific
task in accordance with the relevant documentation, in particular its warning notices and safety instructions.
Qualified personnel are those who, based on their training and experience, are capable of identifying risks and
avoiding potential hazards when working with these products/systems.

2.1
General safety instructions
WARNING
Handling of the device/system by persons other than qualified personnel or ignoring the
warning instructions can result in severe injuries or damages. This means only qualified
personnel are permitted to handle this device/system.
WARNING
Commissioning is absolutely prohibited until it has been ensured that the machine in which
the component described here is to be installed fulfills the regulations/specifications of
Machinery Directive 89/392/EEC.
Note
The specifications of the manual for the SIMATIC S7-1200 system apply for configuration,
installation and commissioning in the SIMATIC environment. This chapter includes additional
information on hardware configuration, installation and preparation for operation of the
SIWAREX WP231.
The safety notes must be observed.
Note
The device was developed, manufactured, tested and documented in compliance with the
relevant safety standards. The device does usually not pose any risks of material damage or
personal injury.
Siemens provides automation and drive products with industrial security functions that
support the secure operation of plants or machines. They are an important component in a
holistic industrial security concept. With this in mind, our products undergo continuous
development. We therefore recommend that you keep yourself informed with respect to our
product updates. Detailed technical information can be found at:
http://support.automation.siemens.com (http://www.siemens.de/automation/csi_en_WW).
To ensure the secure operation of a plant or machine it is also necessary to take suitable
preventive action (e.g. cell protection concept) and to integrate the automation and drive
components into a state-of-the-art holistic industrial security concept for the entire plant or
machine. Products used from other manufacturers should also be taken into account here.

3.1
Product overview
SIWAREX WP231 is a versatile and flexible weighing module that can be operated as a non-
automatic weighing instrument.
The electronic weighing system can be used in SIMATIC S7-1200 and uses all features of a
modern automation system, such as integrated communication, operation and monitoring,
the diagnostic system as well as the configuration tools in the TIA Portal.
3.2
Information about previous versions
Up to firmware version V1.0.3
Up to firmware version V1.0.3, data record communication between the SIWAREX WP231
and the SIMATIC CPU is not possible.
As of firmware version V1.0.4
As of firmware version V1.0.4 data records can be sent from the SIWAREX WP231 to the
S7-1200 CPU and received by the latter. This means that complete operation and
commissioning of the scales is possible via the SIMATIC CPU or the operator panel. The
current Ready-for-Use software must be used for this in addition to the matching FW. This
program contains the matching SIMATIC blocks and an extended WinCC configuration. You
can find the Ready-for-Use software in the configuration package or can be ordered from
product support: → Accessories (Page 175).
3.3
Calibration ability
SIWAREX WP231 has been assigned an EC construction license for operation requiring
verification in accordance with directive 2009/23/EC.
It complies with the requirements in accordance with OIML R76.
