TIM 4R / 4RD interface adapter cable
The TIM 4R or TIM 4RD does not have an integrated modem but instead has a second serial
port (combined RS-232/485). The port connector is accessible at the same location as the
RJ-12 connector of the integrated modem in the form of an 8-pin RJ-45 plug.
An adapter cable is required to connect the second serial port with an external modem or
other transmission device. At one end of this cable, there is an RJ-45 plug and at the other
end, a 9-pin D-sub miniature male connector to which the normal connecting cable to the
modem or transmission device can be connected.
The adapter cable is supplied with each TIM 4R/4RD module. It can also be ordered as a
spare part under the number listed in the following table.

The SINAUT ST7 standard software package
The SINAUT ST7 standard software package comes on a CD-ROM and is made up of two
parts:
1. The SINAUT TD7 library that contains blocks for the S7 CPU
2. The SINAUT ST7 configuration and diagnostics software for installation on the
programming device
The CD-ROM also contains the SINAUT ST7 manual in electronic form (German/English).
The software package is a working package that can be used for any number of SINAUT
projects without licensing.
2.9.1
SINAUT TD7 Library, blocks for the CPU
The SINAUT TD7 library is a software package with blocks for the CPU. The package was
designed so that it can run both on an S7-400 and on and S7-300 CPU. There are only a few
blocks intended specifically for the S7-300 or S7-400 CPUs.
The SINAUT TD7 software in the stations allows change-driven transmission of process data
between the individual CPUs and the control center, for example ST7cc. Failure of
connections, CPUs, or the control center are displayed. Once a problem has been corrected
or the CPUs or control center has started up, data is updated automatically. When
necessary, data messages can be given a time stamp.
