8.3 DR 3 Calibration parameters
SIWAREX WP251
62 Manual, 12/2015, A5E37203357A
Basic calibration of the scale is accomplished through the calibration parameters and
calibration procedure (assignment of zero point and reference point). With a wire jumper on
the "P" and "PR" terminals (parameter protection), most of DR 3 parameters can no longer
be changed (write-protected). This provision is relevant for applications requiring official
calibration. All changes in data record 3 require service mode to be switched on for the
module. If service mode is not active, all parameter inputs are directly rejected with an error.
● Read DR 3 from SIWAREX (in SIWATOOL, SIMATIC DB or ModbusMaster)
● Check all parameters and change them for the specific application
● Transfer data record DR 3 to SIWAREX (from SIWATOOL, SIMATIC DB or Modbus
Master)
● Perform the calibration of the scale (zero point and calibration point 1 – optionally
calibration point 2)
● Read DR 3 from SIWAREX (in SIWATOOL, SIMATIC DB or ModbusMaster)
