Overview
•
SINAUT communications module TIM for SIMATIC S7-300 for
use in wide area network (WAN) as station, node station, and
control center
•
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 and
support of redundant communication paths
•
Simple configuration and operation without specialist IT
knowledge
■
Benefits
•
Flexible option for connection to any conventional or IP-based
WAN
•
Low-cost station setup by means of direct connection to
DSL router or GPRS via MD720-3 modem and use of the
S7-CPUs 312 and 312C, because the SINAUT TD7 CPU
software is integrated in the TIM 3V-IE Advanced.
(This does not apply to communication with SINAUT ST1
partners and to the transmission of text messages; in this case
the SINAUT TD7 software for the CPU (TD7onCPU) must be
used, i.e. this software can still be used together with the
TIM 3V-IE Advanced.)
•
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 and maintenance 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
•
High availability of the connections thanks to possible
redundant design of the communication paths (parallel
operation of WAN networks supported on RJ45 and RS232
interface of the TIM 3V-IE Advanced)
•
Reliable storage of important data. Storage of data message
frames (max. 32 000) 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 Advanced offers all the advantages of the
SIMATIC S7-300 design:
•
Compact construction;
single standard width of the SIMATIC S7-300 SM modules
•
9-pin Sub-D connector with an RS232 interface for connection
to a conventional WAN via an appropriate modem
•
RJ-45 socket for connection to Industrial Ethernet; or an
IP-based network;
industrial design with additional sleeve for inserting the
IE FC RJ45 Plug 180
•
2-pin plug-in terminal strip for connection of the 24 VDC
external supply voltage
•
Front LEDs for indicating the module status and the communi-
cation
•
Easy to mount;
the TIM 3V-IE Advanced is mounted on the S7-300 mounting
rail and connected to adjacent modules by means of the bus
connectors. 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
