■
Overview
In a station for the S7-CPU, the communication module
TIM 4R-IE DNP3 (

eleControl
I
nterface
M
odule) handles the data
exchange with the assigned SIMATIC PCS7 TeleControl V8.0
master system using the open DNP3 protocol. In addition, the
V3.0 module now also supports master and node functionality.
•
With the double-width S7-300 housing, the module can be
fully integrated into the S7-300 system
•
Can be connected as a stand-alone module to a
SIMATIC S7-400 and SIMATIC S7-400 H System
•
Two RS 232/RS 485 interfaces support connection of an
external modem for data transmission via a conventional WAN
or of a Modbus RTU slave to an S7-300 system
•
The module has two RJ45 interfaces for data transmission via
IP-based networks
•
By using physically separate connection paths, the module
permits media redundancy without loss of data during the
switchover
■
Benefits
•
High plant availability by means of end-to-end redundancy
•
Connection to DNP3 master systems from third-party vendors
is possible by using the open protocol DNP3
•
Saving of traveling and maintenance costs due to cost-
effective remote programming, diagnostics, control and
monitoring via the Internet
•
Reduction in time and costs thanks to quick and user-friendly
configuration of connections and data to be transferred with
the SINAUT configuration software and block library
•
Reliable back-up of important data;
Storage of the DNP3 data points (max. 200 000 in the case of
a master), including time stamp on the TIM if the communi-
cation path is faulty or a partner has failed
■
Application
•
Low-cost automation of water/wastewater networks with both
complex and simple structures
•
Control and monitoring of energy distribution systems and
supply stations, such as oil, gas or district heating networks
•
Preventive maintenance (condition monitoring) of globally
distributed systems
•
Connection of plants with basic or high-level security and
availability requirements
•
Use in hybrid networks with wireless, Ethernet or Internet
communications
■
Design
The TIM 4R-IE DNP3 offers all the advantages of the
SIMATIC S7-300 design:
•
Compact design with double-width S7-300 format
•
Two 9-pin sub-D connectors with a combined RS232/RS485
interface for connection to a conventional WAN via an
appropriate modem
•
Two RJ45 sockets for connection to Industrial Ethernet or an
IP-based network;
industrial design with additional retaining collar, for
connecting the IE FC RJ45 Plug 180
•
2-pin plug-in terminal strip for connection of the 24 V DC
external supply voltage
•
Front-panel LEDs for indicating the module status and the
communication
•
Easy installation;
the TIM 4R-IE DNP3 is mounted on the DIN rail of the S7-300
and connected to adjacent modules by means of the bus
connector supplied with the TIM. No slot rules apply.
For connection of an S7-400 station, it is linked as a stand-
alone device via one of its Ethernet ports with one or more
S7-400 CPUs.
•
Can be operated in the expansion rack (ER) in conjunction
with the IM 360/361 interface modules
•
Can be operated without a fan
•
A backup battery and a memory module (C-PLUG) can be
installed as options
