Overview
In a station for the S7-CPU, the SIPLUS communication module TIM 4R-IE DNP3 (TeleControl Interface Module) handles the data exchange with the assigned SIMATIC PCS7 TeleControl V8.0 master system using the open DNP3 protocol. In addition, the V3.0 module now also supports master and node functionality.
- With the double-width S7-300 housing, the module can be fully integrated into the S7-300 system
- Can be connected as a stand-alone module to a SIMATIC S7-400 and SIMATIC S7-400 H System
- Two RS232/RS485 interfaces support connection of an external modem for data transmission via a conventional WAN or of a Modbus RTU slave to an S7-300 system
- The module has two RJ45 interfaces for data transmission via IP-based networks
- By using physically separate connection paths, the module permits media redundancy without loss of data during the switchover
Note:
SIPLUS extreme products are based on SIMATIC standard products. The contents listed here were adopted from the respective standard products. SIPLUS extreme-specific information was added.
Benefits
- High plant availability by means of end-to-end redundancy
- Connection to DNP3 master systems from third-party vendors is possible by using the open protocol DNP3
- Saving of traveling and maintenance costs due to cost-effective remote programming, diagnostics, control and monitoring via the Internet
- Reduction in time and costs thanks to quick and user-friendly configuration of connections and data to be transferred with the SINAUT configuration software and block library
- Reliable back-up of important data;
Storage of the DNP3 data points (max. 200,000 in the case of a master), including time stamp on the TIM if the communication path is faulty or a partner has failed
Application
- Low-cost automation of water/wastewater networks with both complex and simple structures
- Control and monitoring of energy distribution systems and supply stations, such as oil, gas or district heating networks
- Preventive maintenance (condition monitoring) of globally distributed systems
- Connection of plants with basic or high-level security and availability requirements
- Use in hybrid networks with wireless, Ethernet or Internet communications
Design
The TIM 4R-IE DNP3 offers all the advantages of the SIMATIC S7-300 design:
- Compact design with double-width S7-300 format
- Two 9-pin sub-D connectors with a combined RS 232/RS 485 interface for connection to a conventional WAN via an appropriate modem
- Two RJ45 sockets for connection to Industrial Ethernet or an IP-based network;
industrial design with additional retaining collar, for connecting the IE FC RJ45 Plug 180 - 2-pin plug-in terminal strip for connection of the 24 V DC external supply voltage
- Front-panel LEDs for indicating the module status and the communication
- Easy installation;
the TIM 4R-IE DNP3 is mounted on the DIN rail of the S7-300 and connected to adjacent modules by means of the bus connector supplied with the TIM. No slot rules apply.
For connection of an S7-400 station, it is linked as a stand-alone device via one of its Ethernet ports with one or more S7-400 CPUs. - Can be operated in the expansion rack (ER) in conjunction with the IM 360/361 interface modules
- Can be operated without a fan
- A backup battery and a memory module (C-plug) can be installed as options
Function
- Data is transmitted using the open DNP3 protocol
- Media redundancy by the use of physically separated connection paths without the loss of data when switching over
- Extensive diagnostics functions including the option of logging the sent and received message frames
- Time-of-day synchronization with the assigned DNP3 master system is possible
- Remote programming in the case of IP-based networks
- Option for connecting a SIMATIC S7-400 and SIMATIC S7-400 H system
- Modbus RTU Master to a serial interface
- DNP3 Master
- DNP3 nodes;
the module operates simultaneously as master and slave and, as a data concentrator, links the RTUs with the control center - Peer-to-peer communication in the Ethernet-based network between the TIM modules used as DNP3 slaves
- Setting of DNP3 event classes (Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3)
- Routing between TIM modules
- Support of analog dialup modems (PSTN dialup)
The communications module TIM 4R-IE DNP3 has its own processor and a RAM for buffering up to 200 000 data points. This prevents any loss of data in the event of a fault on the communication link or the failure of a communication partner.
Diagnostics
The SINAUT diagnostics and service tool of the SINAUT ST7 Engineering Software V5.4 provides comprehensive diagnostic functions, including:
- Operating mode of the TIM module
- Module status of the TIM module
- General diagnostic information
- Diagnostic buffer of the TIM module
- Status of the connections to remote communication partners (e.g. SIMATIC PCS 7 TeleControl V7.1 SP2)
- Status and level of the transmit buffer
- TIM frame monitor for recording the frame traffic
Configuration
The SINAUT configuration software as of V5.4 is used for configuring the TIM 4R-IE DNP3 module. Parameters are assigned with the aid of the SINAUT configuration software in STEP 7 HW Config and STEP 7 Netpro.
