● This allows these devices to handle SINAUT communication:
– Over any two SINAUT WANs with SINAUT ST7 and SINAUT ST1 partners
– Over two Ethernet-based networks (WAN or LAN) with SINAUT ST7 subscribers
● All four interfaces can be used at the same time for SINAUT communication.
● The four transmission paths can all be different and operated independently. The two
pairs of interfaces can also form a redundant transmission path.
● When installed as a CP in an S7-300, the following communication is also possible:
– With the CPU
– Over the MPI interface of this CPU with other CPUs and control center PCs (ST7cc,
ST7sc) connected over the MPI bus
– With other TIMs in this rack
● Message memory for up to 56,000 data messages
● Optional backup battery for backup of the stored data messages and the hardware clock
● Up to 62 S7 connections
● The SINAUT TD7 software is integrated on the TIM (TD7onTIM). It can be used when the
TIM is installed as a CP in an S7-300.
● Modules can be replaced without a PG:
– In standalone mode using the optional C-PLUG
– When installed as a CP in an S7-300 over the MMC of the CPU
