1.3.2 The TIM 3V-IE variants
The TIM 3V-IE is available in standard and advanced versions. The two communications
processors share the following properties:
● TIM without integrated modem, single width
● For installation as a communications processor (CP) in an S7-300
● With a TIM 3V-IE, an S7-300 CPU or a C7 control system can then handle SINAUT
communication:
– Via a classic SINAUT WAN network with SINAUT partners
– Over an IP-based network (WAN or LAN) with SINAUT ST7 subscribers
● It has two interfaces:
– RS-232 interface for connection of required WAN transmission equipment (classic
SINAUT WAN)
To allow use of GPRS, the serial interface of a station TIM 3V-IE can be connected to
a GSM network via the GSM modem MD720-3. This requires the MSC protocol to be
enabled in the STEP 7 > Properties dialog of the TIM > Interfaces tab. The WAN
interface then behaves like a dynamic Ethernet interface.
– RJ-45 interface for attachment to Ethernet
● The SINAUT TD7 software is integrated on the TIM (TD7onTIM)
● Modules can be replaced without the need for a programming device
The following properties are different on the TIMs:
