Description

The TIM 4R is the predecessor of the TIM 4R-IE and also has 2 combined RS232/RS485 interfaces. Instead of RJ45 ports, the TIM has an MPI terminal through which it can be connected to a PC in the control center or to a CPU in an S7-400 station. The TIM is also available with an optional DCF77 radio clock receiver (TIM 4RD).

Features

Reliable backup of important data
Storage of data message frames (approx. 10,000) including time stamp on TIM if the communication path is faulty or a partner has failed, and to reduce connection costs for the dial-up network.

Accurate time source
The TIM 4RD also has a built-in DCF77 radio clock receiver
- For supplying all SINAUT nodes (PCs, TIMs, CPUs) connected locally over MPI with the date/time-of-day, and to synchronize all SINAUT nodes in the WAN - For the precise control of data traffic in a wireless network with time slot procedure

Benefits

Universally applicable

Flexible connection options
It has two combined RS232/RS485 interfaces for connection to standard WANs such as dedicated line, wireless or dial-up network. The two transmission paths can be different and can be operated mutually independently, or also in a redundant combination.

Reliable backup of important data
Storage of data message frames (approx. 10,000) including time stamp on the TIM when the communications link is down or a partner has failed, and for reducing the connection costs in a dial-up network.
Accurate time source. The TIM 4RD also has a built-in DCF77 radio clock receiver for supplying all local SINAUT stations connected via MPI (PCs, TIMs, CPUs) with date and time, as well as for synchronizing all SINAUT stations in the WAN network. - For the precise control of data traffic in a wireless network with time slot procedure.
