The following variants of the TD7 software exist:
● TD7onTIM
This TD7 variant runs on the TIM. It is available for the Ethernet and DNP3 TIMs and can
only be used in an S7-300 station.
TD7onTIM can only be used as an alternative to TD7onCPU. Simultaneous use in a
station is not possible.
● TD7onCPU
If the DNP3 protocol is used, TD7onCPU is not supported.
The SINAUT TD7 library consists of software blocks for the CPU. It can be run both on an
S7-300 or an S7-400 CPU (except the S7-400H CPUs). There are only a few blocks
intended specifically for the S7-300 or S7-400.

Telecontrol Interface Module
The TIM transmission processor is a communications module and in the SIMATIC S7-
300/400 family, it provides all data transfer functions in telecontrol networks and handles
them independently. Depending on the type, the TIM has one or two WAN interfaces, an MPI
interface or one or two Ethernet interfaces. Depending on the requirements, a variety of
transmission equipment can be connected. The module is supplied in an S7-300 housing.
The TIM modules described in this manual are available for the DNP3 protocol. Other TIM
modules are available for the SINAUT ST7 protocol.
An Ethernet TIM is a TIM module with one or two Ethernet interfaces.
