Expansions in STEP 7 HW Config
The catalog in STEP 7 HW Config is expanded by the SINAUT folder in the SIMATIC 300
directory. This lists all available TIM modules.
You can select the required TIM module from the SINAUT folder and install it in the S7 rack.
The relevant properties dialogs are available for assigning parameters to the TIM modules,
telecontrol networks and network nodes. They can also be called from NetPro.
Expansions in STEP 7 NetPro
The catalog in STEP 7 NetPro is expanded by the telecontrol networks in the Subnets
directory. You can select the telecontrol networks you require from this directory and install
them in the STEP 7 network window.
The TIM modules are interconnected with the networks in the STEP 7 network window using
the mouse. Errors in the interconnections are rejected immediately.
The relevant properties dialogs are available for assigning parameters to the TIM modules,
telecontrol networks and network nodes. They can also be called from HW Config.
The SINAUT Configuration Tool
The SINAUT configuration tool is a separate configuration tool embedded in the STEP 7
environment. This allows you to perform the remaining tasks required for telecontrol
networks. It consists of the following:
● Connection configuration
● Subscriber administration
● SINAUT ST1 - Configuration Overview (not necessary)
The first step is to use the connection configuration function to specify the subscribers
between which a connection is necessary. The tool provides you with a selection of all
theoretically possible connections in the right-hand pane of the split window. These are
identified automatically by the tool based on the network configured with NetPro. You then
select the actually required connections and copy them to the left-hand pane using the
shortcut menu.
Subscriber administration
Among other things, the subscriber administration provides a list with all subscribers. Where
necessary, you can make subscriber-specific adaptations, for example, changing the
SINAUT subscriber number of the individual devices.
The TD7 software is also configured in the subscriber administration (TD7onTIM); in other
words, the configuration of the data messages to be sent and received. Based on the
configuration data, the software generates the system data blocks (SDBs) for the CPU and
TIM modules.
