Connections
tab
This tab lists all the configured local connections over LAN along with their most important
properties for the current subscriber:
● X connections
Unconfigured S7 connections that use the SFCs "X_SEND" and "X_RCV".
● PBC connections
Configured S7 connections that use the SFBs "BSEND" and "BRCV".
● CR connections
Read/write connections of the TD7 software "TD7onTIM" to the local CPU that do not
require S7 connections.
● S7-400H connections (local)
Connection to the local partner (S7-400H CPU or TIM)
● DNP3 connections
Connection to the remote destination partner (DNP3 master station)
Note
If, during the analysis of the subscriber data, the configuration software recognizes that
processing a DNP3 connection requires STEP 7 homogeneous connections, then these
are created automatically. The prerequisite is that the connection mode of the Ethernet
interface is set to "neutral".
STEP 7 homogeneous connections are connections from an S7-400 CPU to a TIM
module and from TIM to TIM module via the MPI bus and communications block
connections.
As an alternative, you can create these connections manually during network
configuration. Existing connections are automatically used by the SINAUT configuration
tool.
