■
Overview
•
SINAUT communications module TIM for SIMATIC S7-300 for
use in a wide area network (WAN)
•
IP communication via secure VPN (virtual private network)
using the Internet
•
Wireless communication via GPRS router, GPRS modem, or
radio devices
•
Wired communication via Ethernet, DSL, dialup modems or
dedicated line modem
•
Complete migration of existing wireless, dedicated line and
dial-up technology to IP-based network
•
Message frame memory for complete recording of data
•
Simple configuration and operation without specialist IT
knowledge
■
Benefits
•
Flexible option for connection to any IP-based or conventional
WAN
•
Economical station design and low connection costs due to
GPRS connection with the MD720-3 and utilizing the S7-CPUs
312 and 312C
•
No additional mobile phone service for fixed IP addresses or
contracts for private GPRS networks with bidirectional data
traffic are necessary, as the VPN is integrated in the ST7
system. No more expensive and complex VPN configuration
by IT specialists.
•
Saving of traveling costs due to cost-effective remote
programming, diagnostics, control and monitoring via the
Internet
•
Reduction in time and costs thanks to quick and user-friendly
configuration of connections and data to be transferred with
the SINAUT configuring software and block library
•
Reliable storage of important data. Storage of data message
frames (max. 16 000) including time stamp on TIM if the
communication path is faulty or a partner has failed and to
reduce connection costs for the dial-up network.
•
Protection of investment for existing SINAUT ST1 systems
through the integration of the SIMATIC S7-300
■
Application
•
Low-cost automation of water/wastewater networks with both
complex and simple structures
•
Control and monitoring of energy distribution systems and
supply stations, such as oil, gas or district heating networks
•
Preventive maintenance (condition monitoring) of globally
distributed systems
•
Monitoring of logistics and traffic control systems
•
Connection of plants with basic or high-level security and
availability requirements
•
Use in hybrid networks with dialup, wireless, Ethernet or
Internet communication
■
Design
The TIM 3V-IE offers all the advantages of the SIMATIC S7-300
design:
•
Compact design
•
9-pin Sub-D connector with an RS232 interface for connection
to a conventional WAN via an appropriate modem
•
RJ45 socket for connection to Industrial Ethernet or an
IP-based network;
industry-standard design with additional sleeve for
connecting the IE FC RJ45 Plug 180
•
2-pin plug-in terminal strip for connection of the 24 V DC
external supply voltage
•
Front LEDs for indicating the module status and the communi-
cation
•
Simple installation;
the TIM 3V-IE is mounted on the rail of the S7-300 and
connected to the adjacent modules by means of the bus
connectors supplied with the TIM. No slot rules apply.
•
Can be operated in the expansion rack (ER) in conjunction
with the IM 360/361
•
Can be operated without a fan
•
A battery backup or memory module are not required
