● This means that these devices can handle SINAUT communication over up to two
SINAUT WAN networks.
● The two transmission paths can be different or identical. They can be operated
independently or form a redundant transmission path.
● When installed as a CP in an S7-300, the following communication is also possible:
– With the CPU
– over the MPI interface of this CPU with other CPUs and control center PCs (ST7cc,
ST7sc) connected over the MPI bus.
– with other TIMs in this rack
● Message memory for up to 10,000 data messages
The following figure shows one of the TIM 4 variants.
