6.7.2
Generating system data blocks
All the parameters of the TIM module from the hardware setting to information on
communication partners or local connections are packed in system data blocks (SDBs).
SDBs with numbers starting at 1000 are used.
If S7-homogeneous connections (communication block connections) are used for
communication between TIM and CPU, their data is packed in SDBs starting at no. 700.
If the Generate System data blocks for TIMS and CPUs option is selected in the Options
dialog, this system data is saved for all existing and networked TIM and CPU modules in the
subscriber list and saved in the offline data management.
Note
The SDBs must be transferred to the modules either in the SIMATIC Manager or using the
SINAUT diagnostics and service tool.
6.7.3
Creating subscriber numbers as comments
To make the subscriber numbers that are important for communication visible in the
SIMATIC Manager or in the hardware configuration, subscriber administration allows you to
enter the subscriber number of networked components in the comment field of the
properties.
The function is activated by selecting the option Subscriber number as comment for stations,
CPUs and TIMs in the Options dialog when you call the Save function in the Options dialog.
With the following networked subscribers, the subscriber number is entered in the comment
bar of the SIMATIC Manager:
● Stations:
● CPU modules
● TIM modules
● Third-party stations
The comments are visible in the SIMATIC Manager when you select the "View / Details"
menu. The TIM modules are visible after expanding the tree structure and selecting a
station.
Note
Creating the subscriber number when generating the system data overwrites comments
previously entered in the network configuration without any possibility of restoring them.
