Design of the TIM 4R-IE
The TIM 4R-IE variants have all the advantages of the SIMATIC S7-300 system design:
● Compact design; double standard width of the SM modules of the SIMATIC S7-300
● 9-pin D-sub male connector with a combined RS-232/RS-485 interface for connecting a
modem
● Two RJ-45 jacks for connection to Ethernet; industrial design with additional collar for
inserting the IE FC RJ-45 Plug 180
● 2-pin plug-in terminal block for connecting the external supply voltage of 24 V DC
● Front LEDs for display of Ethernet and WAN communication
● Simple mounting; the TIM is installed on an S7-300 rail. If the TIM is installed in an
S7-300 as a CP, it is connected to adjacent modules by means of the bus module
connectors. No slot rules apply.
● Can be operated in an expansion rack (ER) in conjunction with the IM 360/361. This
allows the TIM to be combined with a C7 control system, with the newer C7 control
systems it can also be combined using the supplied I/O expansion cable.
● Can be operated without a fan
● A backup battery and a memory module (C-PLUG) can be installed as options.
