Functions of the TIM 4R-IE

● TIM without integrated modem, double width
● Has four interfaces:
– 2 x combined RS-232/RS-485 interface for connection of required WAN transmission
– 2 x RJ45 interface for attachment to Ethernet
● Compact unit that can be used in a wide variety of situations:
– as a communications processor (CP) in an S7-300
– as a standalone device combined with one or more S7-400s or control center PCs
● This allows these devices to handle SINAUT communication:
– Over any two classic SINAUT WANs with SINAUT partners
– Over two IP-based networks (WAN or LAN) with SINAUT ST7 subscribers
● All four interfaces can be used at the same time for SINAUT communication.
● The four transmission paths can all be different and operated independently. The two
pairs of interfaces can also form a redundant transmission path.
● When installed as a CP in an S7-300, the following communication is also possible:
– With the CPU
– Over the MPI interface of this CPU with other CPUs and control center PCs (ST7cc,
– With other TIMs in this rack
● Message memory for up to 56,000 data messages
● Optional backup battery for backup of the stored data messages and the hardware clock
● Up to 62 S7 connections

equipment (classic SINAUT WAN)
To allow use of GPRS, the switchable serial interface WAN 1 of the TIM 4R-IE can be
connected to a GSM network via the GSM modem MD720-3. 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.
