PG routing via WAN
B.1 What is PG Routing?
TIM DNP3

Functions of the SINAUT diagnostics and service tool with PG routing
● "TIM Message Monitor" function
Activating the TIM message monitor on a remote TIM using PG routing is not possible.
● "Firmware update" function
When using the firmware update function, remember that large amounts of data are
transferred. With remote modules, long processing times of several minutes can occur.
● "Repair" function
The "Repair" function using PG routing is not permitted.
When the "Repair" function executes, the flash disk of the TIM is formatted and the
software on the TIM is therefore completely deleted. Following this, the module is no
longer accessible over the SINAUT network. Reloading the TIM software is then only
possible locally over the MPI bus.
Functions of the SIMATIC Manager with PG routing
● "Display Accessible Nodes" function
The "display accessible nodes" function is available only for subscribers connected to the
local MPI bus. This restriction applies to SIMATIC PG routing and therefore also to
SINAUT PG routing.
● "Hardware Diagnostics" function
The "hardware diagnostics" function is available only for subscribers connected to the
local MPI bus. This restriction applies to SIMATIC PG routing and therefore also to
SINAUT PG routing.
● "Download" function
The download of an entire station (CPU 300 plus TIM) leads to a connection abort. Since
the TIM system data are downloaded first followed by a restart on the TIM, the second
step of the CPU data download is interrupted.
It is possible to repeat the CPU download. We, nevertheless, recommend that you
download the block folder of the CPU and the TIM module separately.
● "Upload to PG" function
The "Upload to PG" function is available only for subscribers connected to the local MPI
bus. This restriction applies to SIMATIC PG routing and therefore also to SINAUT PG
routing.
