Functions of the TIM 3V-IE versions

The TIM 3V-IE is available in standard and advanced versions. The two communications
processors share the following properties:
● TIM without integrated modem, single width
● For installation as a communications processor (CP) in an S7-300
● With a TIM 3V-IE, an S7-300 CPU or a C7 control system can then handle SINAUT
communication:
– Via a classic SINAUT WAN with SINAUT partners
– Over an IP-based network (WAN or LAN) with SINAUT ST7 subscribers
● It has two interfaces:
– RS-232 interface for connection of required WAN transmission equipment (classic
– RJ-45 interface for attachment to Ethernet
To use both interfaces, see the following table.
● The SINAUT TD7 software is integrated on the TIM (TD7onTIM)
● Modules can be replaced without the need for a programming device
The following properties are different on the TIMs:
Use of the interfaces for
SINAUT communication
Use as
Data memory
Number of S7 connections
Can be combined with other
TIMs in the rack
Communication over MPI of the
S7-300 CPU

SINAUT WAN)
To allow use of GPRS, the switchable serial interface of a station TIM 3V-IE can be
connected to a GSM network via the MODEM MD720. This requires the MSC protocol
to be enabled in the STEP 7 > Properties dialog of the TIM > Interfaces tab. The WAN
interface then behaves like an Ethernet interface.
