Configuration in STEP 7
5.7 Configuring TIM modules
TIM DNP3
116 System Manual, 06/2014, C79000-G8976-C253-03
Plausibility check of the network configuration
A plausibility check of the configured network is performed either when the network is stored
with the Save and Compile... function or when the consistency check is started directly from
the Network / Check Consistency menu. The following is reported:
● Subscribers not connected to a any subnet
● Subnets with only one subscriber
● Inconsistent connections, for example due to the wrong WAN protocol
The following is also checked for telecontrol networks:
● Compatibility of the connected modem types with each other
● Compatibility of the connected modem types with the network parameters
The following is checked for dedicated line networks:
● The parameter assignment of a master station for the dedicated line network
The configured version must then be saved with the Network / Save menu to allow other
STEP 7 and SINAUT applications access to the configured data.
Configuration continues by calling the SINAUT configuration tool.
Note
Save and compile only in "subscriber administration"
From the network configuration, not only the Save but also the Save and Compile... function
can be called that generates the system data blocks (SDB) after sa
ving the configuration.
To acquire all the configured parameters of the TD7 software when generating the SDBs
both in new projects or when making modifications to the configuration of existing SINAUT
installations, the generation of SDBs for telecontrol networks should only be performed in the
Subscriber Administration of the SINAUT configuration tool.
The parameters for a TIM module are divided among various tabs of the "Properties - TIM"
dialog. The following tabs are available:
● "General" tab
with general information and for modifying the module name or adding comments
● "Addresses" tab
with information on I/O address areas of the CPU
● "Time Service" tab
for setting the parameters for time-of-day synchronization of a TIM module
● "Interfaces" tab
for configuring the Ethernet and WAN interface(s)
● "Options" tab
with parameter assignment options for the message memory
