■
Function
•
Data is transmitted using the open DNP3 protocol
•
Media redundancy by the use of physically separated
connection paths without the loss of data when switching over
•
Extensive diagnostics functions including the option of
logging the sent and received message frames
•
Time-of-day synchronization with the assigned DNP3 master
system is possible
•
Remote programming in the case of IP-based networks
•
Option for connecting a SIMATIC S7-400 and
SIMATIC S7-400 H system
•
Modbus RTU Master connected to a serial port
Also available with the new Version 3.0
•
DNP3 Master
•
DNP3 nodes;
the module operates simultaneously as master and slave and,
as a data concentrator, links the RTUs with the control center
•
Peer-to-peer communication in the Ethernet-based network
between the TIM modules used as DNP3 slaves
•
Setting of DNP3 event classes (Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3)
•
Routing between TIM modules
•
Support of analog dialup modems (PSTN dialup)
The communications module TIM 4R-IE DNP3 has its own
processor and a RAM for buffering up to 200 000 data points.
This prevents any loss of data in the event of a fault on the
communication link or the failure of a communication partner.
Diagnostics
The SINAUT diagnostics and service tool of the SINAUT ST7
Engineering Software V5.4 provides comprehensive diagnostic
functions, including:
•
Operating status of the TIM module
•
Module status of the TIM module
•
General diagnostic information
•
Diagnostic buffer of the TIM module
•
Status of the connections to remote communication partners
(e.g.
SIMATIC PCS7 TeleControl V7.1 SP2)
•
Status and level of the transmit buffer
•
TIM frame monitor for recording the frame traffic
Configuration
The SINAUT configuration software V5.4 is used for configuring
the TIM 4R-IE DNP3 module. Parameters are assigned with the
aid of the SINAUT configuration software in STEP 7 HW Config
and STEP 7 Netpro.

Integration
The TIM 4R-IE DNP3 module is connected to a WAN via two
floating RS232/RS485 interfaces, and specifically via various
data communication devices depending on the application:
•
Dedicated line modems for point-to-point, point-to-multipoint
or line connections
•
Analog dialup modems (V3.0 or higher)
•
Fiber-optic cable modules (via RS485 converters)
•
Wireless devices from various manufacturers
In addition, it is possible to connect a Modbus RTU slave to the
S7-300 system via the TIM 4R-IE DNP3.
Via two RJ45 interfaces, the TIM 4R-IE DNP3 module
can be connected to the Ethernet, i.e. to IP-based networks
(LAN, IWLAN, DSL, GPRS, UMTS, etc.).
