PG routing via WAN What is PG Routing? B.1.1 Introduction In the SIMATIC world, the term routing is defined as follows: Routing is finding the path for information beyond network boundaries. In the SIMATIC world at the present time, it is not possible to configure a connection over which data can be transmitted between the two endpoints involved if this connection goes beyond the boundaries of a network.
PG routing via WAN B.1 What is PG Routing? B.1.2 Configuration for PG routing The following figure shows the basic principle of PG routing. Basic configuration of PG routing In the basic configuration, a PG in the master station is configured and connected to the Ethernet network.

Glossary For further terms, go to the reference to the SIMATIC NET glossary in the preface of the manual. Analog value An analog value is an analog process variable such as pressure, temperature etc. It is acquired over an analog input as a current or voltage value and converted by this module to a binary-coded value.

Glossary Distributed Network Protocol DNP3 protocol The DNP3 protocol is a telecontrol protocol that allows the process data of sensors, field devices and RTUs to be connected to operator control and monitoring systems. The protocol was first specified in 1990. In 1993, this specification was released for general use under a public domain license.

Glossary TD7onTIM does not support the general request. Image memory / send buffer A TIM has a send buffer and an image memory for buffering send messages. The data of the process image of the CPU configured for transfer by the TIM in the objects of the TD7onTIM is written continuously to the image memory of the TIM.

Glossary Master TIM Interface of a TIM set to the "master station" function. Use in control centers and node stations. Message The term message generally is used generally for a data message or particularly for data messages of the application layer. Multi Point Interface MPI is the programming device interface of SIMATIC S7.

Glossary specific processing functions and change checks assigned to it to minimize the communication traffic in the WAN. Type-specific processing functions include, for example, change checks or smoothing with the object type for analog values. The change check is designed so that a message is generated only when the object data has changed compared with the last time its value was transferred or when the type-specific processing enables generation of a message because the object data is "worth"...

Glossary When a TIM is used as the master station, the master TIM sends a polling message to the connected stations (station TIMs) one after the other instructing them to transmit their stored data messages to the master TIM. If a polled station has not saved any data messages, it replies with an acknowledgment message.

Glossary The following variants of the TD7 software exist: ● TD7onTIM This TD7 variant runs on the TIM. It is available for the Ethernet and DNP3 TIMs and can only be used in an S7-300 station. TD7onTIM can only be used as an alternative to TD7onCPU. Simultaneous use in a station is not possible.
