TS 3008

1.2 Restriction of access
Only authorized persons
must have access to the
modules!
The modules are open equipment and must only be installed in
electrical equipment rooms, cabinets, or housings. Access to the
electrical equipment rooms, barriers, or housings must only be
possible using a tool or key and only permitted to personnel
having received instruction or authorization.
1.3 Information for the user
This manual is addressed to anyone wishing to configure, use, or
install the TS 300.
D
uring configuration,
safety and accident
p
revention rules specific
to the application must
be observed.
The manual tells the user how to operate the TS 300 and explains
the signaling functions. It provides the installing technician with
all the necessary data.
The TS 300 is exclusively for use with a S7-300/S7-400 program-
mable controller from Siemens.
The TS 300 is for use within a complete system only. For that rea-
son, the configuring engineer, user, and installing technician
must observe the standards, safety and accident prevention rules
applicable in the particular application. The operator of the
automation system is responsible for observing these rules.
1.4 Use as intended
The TS 300 must only be used as a communication and signaling
system as described in the manual.
1.5 Avoiding use not as intended!
M
ake sure in the

alone. Make sure in the software that uncontrolled restarts cannot
occur.
TS 300 9

2Installation and Mounting
B
efore you start
installation work, all
system components mus
t
be disconnected from
their power source.
Installation and mounting must be effected in compliance with
VDE 0100 / IEC 364. Because it is an IP20 module, you must in-
stall it in a cabinet.
An ambient temperature of 0 to 60 ºC must be ensured for reliable
operation.
2.1 Vertical and horizontal mounting
The modules can be mounted either vertically or horizontally.
Permissible ambient temperature:
•for vertical mounting: from 0 to 40 ºC
•for horizontal mounting: from 0 to 60 ºC
Horizontal mounting
Vertical mounting
CPU and power supply
must always be arranged as
follows:
left in horizontal mounting
Right in vertical mounting
2.2 Minimum clearance
Minimum clearances must be observed because
•it ensures the TS 300 is cooled
•it provides space to insert and remove modules
•it provides space to route cables
•it increases the mounting height of the module rack to 185
mm, although the minimum spacing of 40 mm must still be
observed
TS 30010

The following diagram shows the minimum spacing between the
module racks and between these and any adjacent cabinet walls,
equipment, cable ducts, etc. for S7-300s mounted in several mod-
ule racks.
Non-observance of the
minimum distances can
destroy the module at
high ambient
temperatures!
2.3 Mounting of the module on the DIN rail
A backplane bus connector is included with each signal module
but not with the CPU. When connecting the backplane bus con-
nector, always start with the CPU.
TS 300 11

Take the backplane bus connector off the last module and insert it
into the CPU. Do not plug a backplane bus connector into the
last module of the tier.
Hook on the modules (1), slide them up to the left module (2),
and click them downward (3).
Screw the modules on with a torque of 0.8 to 1.1 Nm.
TS 30012

3System Overview
3.1 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.
Please remember that existing SIM cards or SIM cards purchased
without complying with the following rules do not support in-
coming data services. That is, it is not possible to dial up the TS
300, e.g. using TeleService software from Siemens.
When purchasing a suitable SIM card, make sure the provider
supports and specially activates the circuit-switched data (CSD)
protocol.
The CSD service can also be activated subsequently, that is, after
you have purchased a SIM card.
!
F
or teleservice
applications, the SIM
card must be activated
by the provider for
incoming data traffic!
A separate phone number is always assigned to the SIM card for
the CSD service. At least two numbers are therefore activated for
the SIM card: the phone number and the data number for in-
coming connections.
There may also be a third number, if the fax service is activated in
addition to voice and data.
Experience has shown that the following contracts in their pure
form can be chosen. However, mixed contracts are common, for
example, where not on the voice but also the data service is re-
leased for incoming connections.
Function Prepaid
card
Contract for voice
transmission
Contract for data

Outgoing data
connection 999
Incoming data con-
nection - - 9
SMS 999
Voice connection 99-
CSD supports a maximum data transmission rate of 9.6 kbps.
Some providers also offer a high-speed circuit data (HSCSD) data
transmission rate (14.4 kbps without error correction). Dial-up via
the HSCSD service is not supported by TS 300.
!
A
remote connection to
the TS 300 is not
p
ossible via GPRS.
Non-GSM services, such as GPRS, EDGE, or UMTS are services that
can actively establish connections, that is, from inside to outside
(say, from a cell phone or laptop to the Internet). These services
do not allow dial-up from outside and can therefore not be used
for normal teleservice solutions.
TS 300 13

3.2 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).
Non-GSM standard, such as GPRS, EDGE, and UMTS are not sup-
ported because this service only permits outgoing, not incoming
connections.
The CSD protocol offers a transparent transmission service with
9.6 kbps. According to our current knowledge, it is offered by all
GSM network operators.
If the equipment is destined for use abroad, please ask the tele-
phone companies in the country of use whether and under what
conditions the CSD protocol is supported.
With a USB or modem link, up to eight MPI links (19.2 kbps or
187.5 kbps) can be used simultaneously.
!
F
Mx modules cannot be
p
arameterized with the
TS 300.
At the MPI end, the baud rate to be used is automatically
detected.
The TS 300 draws its power supply from an external source to be
connected on the front.
The MPI link of the TS 300 to a programmable controller of the
S7-300 series is effected via the backplane pus or via the nine-way
Sub D socket on the front of the device.
!
To use the TS 300 on S7-
400 systems, an MPI
cable is required (see
3.8.4 ).
Programmable controllers of the S7-400 series are connected to
the TS 300 via the Sub D socket.
The TS 300 can be snapped onto the DIN rails, if 300-type sec-
tional rails are not used, using the mounting adapter for the DIN
rail, which is available as an accessory.
With the appropriate software, it is possible to use the TS 300 as
!
The functions "PG-Dial"
and "AS-
D
ial" for startin
g
a call from an S7-CPU
are not implemented.
•A programming adapter (TS or PC adapter),
•Teleservice unit, or
•Operator control and monitoring unit
A firmware update for the TS 300 can be transferred to the TS 300
adapter both locally and via a remote link.

F
or teleservice operation,
a GSM antenna and a
SIM card activated for
incoming data
connections are required.
The included backplane bus connector and the included USB ca-
ble ensure the TS 300 is immediately ready to use in an S7-300
programmable controller. For teleservice, an enabled SIM card for
incoming data connections (CSD) and a GSM antenna are re-
quired (see 3.8.3).
TS 30014

3.3 Connections
The TS 300 has the following connection options on the front
and back:
•Power supply socket for input of 24 V DC.
•USB B socket for connecting the supplied USB cable for direct
operation as a programming adapter or for using the internal
modem, e.g. for SCADA or visualization systems.
•Nine-way Sub D socket for the front MPI connection.
!
The SIM card must only
ever be inserted and
changed while the device
is switched off.
•SIM card slot with removable loading slide for the 3 V DC SIM
cards.
•Antenna socket of type FME (male) for connecting commercial
type GSM antennas (see 3.8.3).
•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.

3.5 Function switch
3.5.1 Microswitch TS adapter
The "TS/MDM/PC" switch switches between the three possible op-
erating modes.
•In switch position “TS”, the TS 300 functions directly with the
modem.
That way, the TS 300 can be used for teleservice using the Tele-
Service software (see Section 5.3).
The USB interface does not have a function in this switch posi-
tion.
•In switch position “PC”, the TS 300 functions directly with the
USB interface.
TS 300 17

The TS 300 can be operated on the local computer as the TS
adapter (MPI) or as a PC adapter (MPI) (see Section 5.2).
The modem is inactive in this switch position.
•In switch position “MDM”, the internal modem functions di-
rectly with the USB interface.
In this way, the modem can be directly addressed via the USB
interface, for example, to parameterize it or to use it for teleser-
vice purposes unconnected with MPI (see Section 5.4).
The TS 300 cannot perform MPI functions in this switch posi-
tion.
3.5.2 DIP switches DEA and MPI
•With the “DEA” DIP switch it is possible to activate (“DEA”
LED lights green) or deactivate (“DEA” LED does not light up)
the TS 300 as a 32-bit DIO module (16 DI / 16 DO).
In the “OFF” switch position, the TS 300 on the backplane bus
is a dummy module without its own IO array – all information
on the backplane bus is looped through 1:1 (see Section 7).
•With the “MPI” DIP switch, it is possible to provide the MPI
functionality of the TS 300 on the backplane bus of a S7-300
system.
If the MPI functionality on the backplane bus is connected
(“ON” switch position), the MPI bus is active on the front con-
nector and backplane bus. This state is displayed by a lighted
green “MPI” LED.
In the “OFF” switch position, only the MPI connector on the
front of the TS 300 is active (see Section 5.1).
3.6 Special functions
Irrespective of the pure teleservice features via the programming
software of the Simatic CPUs, further additional functions are
available in the TS 300, which are described as follows. They can
be easily set up and used with the enclosed user programs.
3.6.1 Alarm function of the TS 300
The TS 300 can transfer alarms triggered by a program stored in
the PLC to a recipient via SMS (see Section 7.1.1).
3.6.2 Switching outputs of the TS 300
The TS 300 features four switching outputs. These can be con-
trolled independently of each other using SHTools both locally
and via a modem line.
The switching outputs of the TS 300 are transmitted on the back-
plane but and can be evaluated by a user program in a S7-300
controller (see Section 7.2).
TS 30018

3.6.3 Interface switchover via a telecommunication link
The operating mode of the TS 300 set by default with the micro-
switch can be reset using the SHTools locally or remotely.
On changing the operating mode with SHTools, a timeout be-
tween one minute and 20 minutes is passed. After an idle time
equal to the timeout value, the operating mode set with the mi-
croswitch is re-entered.
This function permits, for example, both teleservice of a S7 con-
troller and dial-up and diagnosis of a connected SCADA system
(see Section 4.4.3).
3.7 Items supplied
