■
Overview
In a station for the S7-CPU, the new communication module
TIM
3V-IE DNP3 V3.0 (
T
ele
C
ontrol Interface
M
odule) handles the
data exchange with the assigned master system SIMATIC PCS
7
TeleControl V8.0 using the open DNP3 protocol. In addition, the
V3.0 module now also supports master and node functionality.
•
With the S7-300 housing, the module can be fully integrated
into the S7-300 system
•
The module has an RS 232 interface for the connection of an
external modem for data transmission via a conventional WAN
or the connection of a Modbus RTU slave to an S7-300 system
•
The RJ45 port is used for data transmission via IP-based
networks
■
Benefits
•
Flexible option for connection to any conventional or IP-based
WAN
•
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. 64 000 in the case of a
master), including time stamp on the TIM if the communication
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 dial-up, wireless, Ethernet or
Internet communications
■
Design
The TIM 3V-IE DNP3 offers all the advantages of the
SIMATIC S7-300 design:
•
Compact design with S7-300 format
•
9-pin sub-D connectors with an RS232 interface for
connection to a conventional WAN via an appropriate modem
•
RJ45 socket 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 3V-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.
•
Can be operated in the expansion rack (ER) in conjunction
with the IM 360/361 interface modules
•
Can be operated without a fan
•
No backup battery or memory module is required
■
Function
•
Data is transmitted using the open DNP3 protocol
•
Media redundancy by using physically separated connection
paths without data loss at switchover
•
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
•
Modbus RTU Master
