Design of the TIM 3 variants
The TIM 3 types 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
● RJ-12 jack for connecting the integrated modem to the WAN
● 4-pin terminal block for connecting the external power supply of 24 V DC
● LEDs on the front panel with SF, TXD, RXD, and MPI/K indicators (the TIM BUS and
DCF77 LEDs are unassigned on the TIM 3 types).
● Simple installation; the TIM is mounted on the S7-300 rail and 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.
● The TIM 3 types can operate without fans. No backup battery or memory module is
required.
The following figure shows the ports of the TIM 3 variants (schematic representation with
