1.2 Configuration examples

Notes on the table
Notes on the columns:
● Station type "Node station"
A node station is located in the plant hierarchy between the master station and other
lower-level stations. The module requires at least two interfaces.
In the configuration, the "network node type" of the interface connected to the master
station is configured as "Node station". See section Networking of the interfaces
(Page 38) for information on this.
● STEP 7 product with S7-1200 CPs
S7-1200 CPs can be configured under STEP 7 Basic for connection to a third-party
master.
You need STEP 7 Professional project to connect the CPs to SIMATIC NET master or
node stations configured in STEP 7.
● Firmware
The required firmware versions of the modules relate to the complete configuration
described in this manual. You can find the required STEP 7 version for this in the section
Software requirements (Page 15).
Modules with lower firmware versions can be configured in older STEP 7 versions with a
deviating scope of functions.
1.2 Configuration examples
Below, you will find several configuration examples with the communications modules that
can be used.
Communication via Ethernet / Internet, sending e-mails
In the sample configuration shown, S7 stations communicate with the master station via the
Ethernet interfaces of the different modules.
With their Ethernet interfaces, TIM modules enable connection to a redundant master
station.
