Substations for ST7 protocol

The TIM communication module is housed in an S7-300 enclosure and is available in different versions:

TIM 3V-IE/TIM 3V-IE Advanced

The TIM 3V-IE is a SINAUT communications module for the SIMATIC S7-300. It has an RS232 interface to which a matching external modem can be connected for data transfer via a conventional WAN. It additionally possesses an RJ45 interface, which permits communication over IP-based networks. In the case of the TIM 3V-IE, SINAUT communication can be processed alternately via one of the two interfaces, while in the TIM 3V-IE Advanced both interfaces can be operated simultaneously.

TIM 4R-IE

The TIM 4R-IE has two RS232/RS485 interfaces for data transmission via conventional WANs and additionally two RJ45 interfaces for connection to IP-based networks (WAN or LAN).

This TIM can be used as communication processor in a SIMATIC S7-300, but it is especially suitable as telecontrol module for a SIMATIC S7-400 or control center PC (SINAUT ST7cc or ST7sc). It is then connected without S7-300 CPU as a standalone device via one of the two Ethernet interfaces to the S7-400 or the PC .

The four transmission paths can all be different and operated independently of one another, but also in any redundant combination.
