Weighing and Feeding Solutions
Continuous weighing
The Milltronics line of continuous weighing products from
Siemens are found in almost any industry that involves han-
dling of bulk materials. In applications like crushed stone,
ore, cement, coal, food processing, or chemicals, Milltronics
reliable, field-proven conveyor belt scales, weighfeeders, sol-
ids flowmeters, and integrators are the ideal solution. Mill-
tronics products are rugged – built for tough operating
conditions in the aggregate, cement, and mining industries.
They are easy to install and maintain, and expert technical
support is there when you need it.
Belt scales
Belt scales help maximize the use of raw materials, control
inventories, and aid in the manufacturing of a consistent
product. Milltronics conveyor belt scales from Siemens com-
bine simple, drop-in installation, low maintenance (no mov-
ing parts) and repeatable accuracy for productive operation.
They show minimal hysteresis and superior linearity, and
ignore side loading. All load cells feature overload protection.
With the use of approved intrinsically safe barrier strips, some
belt scale models can be used in hazardous locations. High-
accuracy, light-loading, and heavy-duty models are available.
Speed sensors
Speed sensors operate in conjunction with a conveyor belt
scale, providing a signal to an integrator for calculation of
belt speed, belt loading rate, and totalized weight. Siemens
offers high resolution shaft-driven and wheel-driven speed
sensors that are easy and economical to install.
1/8 Siemens WT 02 · 2007
Weighfeeders
A weighfeeder system is a custom-engineered conveyor inte-
grated with a belt weigh bridge and speed sensor. A variable
speed drive, motor and gearbox allow the flow of material to
be controlled by a given setpoint chosen in the BW500 inte-
grator. This allows the feeder to provide precision weighing
accuracies, and to improve blend consistencies, accountabil-
ity, and record keeping. Weighfeeders are indispensable
when automated production processes require continuous
in-line weighing and feeding. These heavy-duty weighfeed-
ers deliver fast, reliable, and uninterrupted service. The virtu-
ally maintenance-free construction promises unmatched
performance. Milltronics weighfeeders from Siemens come
standard with belt weigh bridge, speed sensor, and integra-
tor. Flanged belting is available on all models. The height of
the flange depends on model and application. Belt widths
and conveyor lengths are made to measure for the required
application.
Solids flowmeters
Solids flowmeters enhance process control, contributing to
improved quality of your end product. The heavy-duty, low
maintenance LVDT type solids flowmeters provide continuous
in-line weighing of dry bulk solids, free-flowing powders, or
granular material. An SF500 integrator completes the system
processing sensor signals into operating data for flow mea-
surement. All models produce accurate, repeatable results
and may be used for critical functions such as batch load-out
and blending. Safe overload protection is a standard feature.
All models are totally enclosed and dust-tight, and are con-
structed of painted mild steel. Stainless steel and hazardous-
area versions are also available.
 © Siemens AG 2007
Integrators
Electronic integrators process the sensor signals into operat-
ing data for continuous in-line weighing and flow measure-
ment. They display instantaneous readings of rate and total
material flow for flowmeters or rate, total material conveyed,
load, and speed for belt scales. They can take over basic con-
trol functions traditionally handled by other devices like PID
and batch control. Milltronics integrators provide connection
to a wide variety of industry standard plant control systems,
and are reliable, economical, and easy to program and oper-
ate.
Communications
SmartLinx modules provide direct digital connection to com-
monly used industrial communication buses with true plug-
and-play compatibility. They are fast and easy to install, and
can be added at any time to a Milltronics BW500 or SF500
integrator. Milltronics BW500 and SF500 come standard with
built-in Modbus® RTU or Modbus ASCII (RS-485).
SmartLinx modules are available for the following industrial
communication buses: Allen-Bradley® Remote I/O,
PROFIBUS DP, and DeviceNet™.
Modbus is a registered trademark of Schneider Electric
Allen-Bradley is a registered trademark of Rockwell Automation
DeviceNet is a trademark of Open DeviceNet Vendor Association
Process protection
Process protection devices can be an early warning system to
avoid costly process interruptions and breakdowns of equip-
ment. Non-invasive acoustic sensors detect solids flow prob-
lems, blockages, screen faults, or burst filter bags
immediately. Motion sensors detect changes in motion and
speed of conveying, reciprocating, and rotating machinery.
Rugged construction makes them impervious to dust, dirt,
build-up, and moisture. They are low in maintenance, easy to
install and provide superior cost-effective protection.
Acoustic sensors
The SITRANS AS 100 acoustic sensor monitors flow/no flow or
high/low flow conditions by detecting high frequency acous-
tic emissions generated by friction and impact of materials in
motion. The SITRANS CU 02 controller processes signals from
the sensor, providing relay and analog outputs for interface
into a process.
Motion sensors and speed switches
Non-contacting motion sensors and speed switches protect
by detecting changes in motion and speed of rotating
machinery. The Milltronics MFA 4p is used with MSP and XPP
probes to provide adjustable alarm setpoint motion sensing
even in hazardous, high temperature, and harsh conditions.
Milltronics speed switches are used for zero speed and
motion sensing, providing relay contacts or solid state switch
outputs to PLCs.

SIWAREX weighing systems

Introduction
For weighing finished product or for key processes where
high accuracy is required for verification, SIWAREX PLC-based
weighing systems are the solution. The system, consisting of
a processor, and one or more load cells, can be applied
throughout the manufacturing process from in-line check
weighing, parcel scales, batching, weigh bridges, bag filling,
to bin and vessel weighing. SIWAREX weighing systems are
used in the production of food and animal feed, in the chem-
ical and pharmaceutical industries, and in general mechani-
cal engineering.
SIWAREX weighing modules are designed for direct integra-
tion into a SIMATIC automation system in either central or
distributed configurations:
• Central automation by direct integration with SIMATIC S7
