"Connections" tab
Connections
tab
This tab lists all the configured local connections over LAN along with their most important
properties for the current subscriber:
● X connections
Unconfigured S7 connections that use the SFCs "X_SEND" and "X_RCV".
● PBC connections
Configured S7 connections that use the SFBs "BSEND" and "BRCV".
● CR connections
Read/write connections of the TD7 software "TD7onTIM" to the local CPU that do not
require S7 connections.
● S7-400H connections (local)
Connection to the local partner (S7-400H CPU or TIM)
● DNP3 connections
Connection to the remote destination partner (DNP3 master station)
Note
If, during the analysis of the subscriber data, the configuration software recognizes that
processing a DNP3 connection requires STEP 7 homogeneous connections, then these
are created au
tomatically. The prerequisite is that the connection mode of the Ethernet
interface is set to "neutral".
STEP 7 homogeneous connections are connections from an S7
-400 CPU to a TIM
module and from TIM to TIM module via the MPI bus and communications block
c
onnections.
As an alternative, you can create these connections manually during network
configuration. Existing connections are automatically used by the SINAUT configuration
tool.
