Siemens automation

Simatic weighing

A Simatic PLC can do much more than sequence machines: it can acquire, process and archive weight data with the same level of reliability as the rest of the automation.

Weighing inside the automation

Integrating weighing into the PLC removes the need for a separate, standalone controller. Weighing sequences, tolerance checks and interlocks are handled where the machine logic already runs.

  • Weight acquisition through Siemens weighing modules
  • Real-time tolerance control during filling
  • Interlocking of dosing and bagging sequences
  • One consistent program structure for the whole line

A modernization that respects what exists

we keep the reusable mechanics, modernize the control/electronics, and at project end the programs, backups and documents are handed over to the client.

  • Reuse of sound mechanical structures
  • Replacement of obsolete electronics only
  • Clear program documentation
  • Operator guidance on the new interface

Frequently asked questions

Is a Simatic PLC able to read a weighbridge signal?

Yes. With Siemens weighing modules, the weight value arrives directly in the PLC as a processed, stable measurement.

What if the existing control is not Siemens?

We can migrate the weighing functions progressively while keeping the mechanics and adapting the control.

Do you hand over the source programs?

Yes, the programs, backups and documents are handed over at the end of the project.
