  • Page 13: System Overview

    System Overview Requirements for a GSM connection via CSD The TS 300 GSM can be operated on all GSM-compliant networks with the frequencies 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, and 1900 MHz. By selecting the provider whose SIM card is inserted in the TS 300, the TS 300 should, after correct parameterization, auto- matically sign on to the available GSM network.

  • Page 14: Application And Function Description

    Application and function description The TS 300 is a gateway between the USB or modem and an MPI bus. The USB interface can also be directly connected to the modem to implement communication away from the MPI bus. The integrated quadband GSM module of the TS 300 is suitable for industrial applications and supports the common GSM trans- mission standard CSD (Circuit Switched Data).

  • Page 15: Connections

    • On the rear of the module, there is the connection for the backplane bus of a S7-300 system to make it as easy as possible to exchange data between the CPU and the TS 300. Systeme Helmholz LED displays OFF / ON...

  • Page 21: Installation Of The Driver Software And Service Tools

    Installation of the driver software and service tools The CD supplied contains various drivers and service tools that have to be used for their respective purposes. System requirements To operate the driver and service tools of the TS 300, a PC or lap- top is required with a 32-bit Windows operating system and a CDROM drive.
  • Page 22 • The operating system starts an installation wizard that per- forms the installation, which is largely automatic. In the first step, you must enter whether the driver is to be searched for online or locally. • To be able to specify the search path for the driver (generally the CD supplied), it is necessary to make the following setting and confirm it with “Next”.
  • Page 23 • The next step is a prompt to specify the location of the driver. It is generally enough to set a checkmark next to “Search re- movable media…” and then to click the “Next” button. • If the SSW7-Teleservice-Modem CD is in a local drive, the search for the driver now begins.

  • Page 30 • After selection of the “Adapter / Update adapter” menu item, it is possible to define the access path in step 1 (local or remote). • After step 1 is confirmed, an attempt to establish a link to the TS 300 follows. If this is successful, updating of the firmware sections, of which later versions are available, begins automati- cally.

  • Page 31: Parameterization With Shtools

    For updating via modem link, up to three automatic dial-up op- erations are required. • Step 4 shows that the update has been successful. • If the update is performed locally, the current version of the imported firmware can be read with menu item “Adapter / Read out information from the adapter”.
  • Page 32 With the “Adapter / Read parameters” menu item, it is possible to read the current parameterization out of the TS 300.

After the link to the TS 300 has been established, a selection win- dow appears in which control functions can be selected (depends on the type of access).

  • Page 38: Parameterization Of The Alarm Messages

    By operating the micro-switch for the operating modes of the TS 300, it is possible to overwrite mode settings made in the software locally at any time. • The outputs that are reflected on the IO image on the back- plane bus of the TS 300, can optionally be switched individu- ally or together.
  • Page 39 After the alarming function has been enabled, you can state a ser- vice number and configure the two alarm messages as you re- quired. The required parameterization is stored permanently by pressing the “Set” button. Activation of the alarm inputs by a user program in a S7-300 con- troller is described in Section 7.1.1.
