Overview of the Properties of the TIM 4R-IE DNP3
● TIM without integrated modem, double width
● Compact unit that can be used in a wide variety of situations:
– As a communications processor (CP) in an S7-300
– As a standalone device combined with an S7-400 or S7-400H via the Ethernet
interface.
● It has four interfaces:
– 2 x RJ-45 interface for attachment to Ethernet
Allows DNP3 communication via IP-based networks (LAN or WAN).
– 2 x combined RS-232/RS-485 interface
Allows DNP3 communication with a modem connected (classic WAN) or the
connection of MODBUS slaves.
The interface standard (RS-232/RS-485) is specified in the interface configuration.
All four interfaces can be used at the same time for DNP3 communication. The four
transmission paths can all be different and operated independently.
