6. Create telecontrol connections for the telecontrol communication using ST7.
For telecontrol connections that use the S7 protocol (Network type "Neutral") you do not
need to create any separate S7 connections.
You will find the description in the section Creating telecontrol connections for the ST7
communication (Page 99).
7. Create the required data points and messages.
8. Save the project.
For complete commissioning of the TIM, you need to download the configuration data to the
relevant TIM. The project data is stored in the work memory of the TIM.
When using an optional SD card, the data is stored on the SD card of the TIM, see section
Commissioning (Page 48).
You will find information on loading in the STEP 7 information system.
Copy functions for larger projects
The copying functions of STEP 7 reduce configuration effort. Use the copying functions in
particular with large projects with several identical or similar stations.
● Copying devices and stations
If you use several similar TIM modules or CPUs in a project, it is advisable to configure
the first device first and then to copy the entire configuration data. This can include the
following objects:
– The user program of CPUs
– PLC tags of CPUs
– Data points of TIM modules
After copying the address parameters and other various parameters need to be adapted.
Recommendation:
Network the interfaces only after copying the devices.
● Copying PLC tags
If you use several similar items of input and output data, you can copy PLC tags in the
tag table.
After copying you only need to adapt the address parameters.
● Copying data points
In much the same way as with PLC tags, you can also copy data points.
For a detailed description of the functions, refer to the section Data point configuration
(Page 104).
