TIM communication modules

The TIM (Telecontrol Interface Module) communication module is the central component of the SINAUT ST7 hardware. It handles the data traffic for the S7 CPU or control center PC over the WAN, either with the SINAUT ST7 or SINAUT ST1 protocol.

The TIM product range offers the right solutions for any telecontrol application.

The TIM is fitted in an S7-300 housing and is available in three basic versions:

TIM 3V-IE
The TIM 3V-IE is a SINAUT communications module for the SIMATIC S7-300 or C7 compact unit. It has an RS-232 interface to which an external modem can be connected. It additionally possesses an RJ45 interface which allows the SINAUT transmission over IP-based networks. The TIM 3V-IE is available a Standard and Advanced version.
TIM 4R-IE
The TIM 4R is suitable for integration as a communications module into the SIMATIC S7-300 or C7 compact unit, and it can also be connected as a stand-alone device via MPI to one or more SIMATIC S7-300/400 units and to the ST7cc or ST7sc PC control centers.

It has two RS-232 interfaces to which a suitable external modem can be connected. Both WANs can be of the same type or different types, e.g. dedicated line plus telephone network, and can also be used as redundant transmission paths.

The TIM 4R can also be fitted with a DCF77 radio clock receiver as an option (TIM 4RD). All stations in the SINAUT plant can then be supplied with the date and time from this module.
