Safety Guidelines
This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent
damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.
DANGER
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
with a safety alert symbol, indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
without a safety alert symbol, indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that an unintended result or situation can occur if the corresponding information is not taken into
account.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will
be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to
property damage.

SINAUT ST7 Station control system - System Manual
System Manual, 05/2007, C79000-G8976-C178-06 17
Introduction to the SINAUT ST7 system 2
2.1 Area of application
Process control over WAN and Ethernet
SINAUT® ST7 is a system based on SIMATIC® S7 for fully automatic monitoring and control
of process stations that exchange data with another and with one or more control centers
over a WAN (wide area network) or Ethernet (TCP/IP).
The control center
The following can currently be used as control centers:
● SIMATIC controllers S7-300 or S7-400. This solution is suitable for more simple control
centers, in which only a current image of the process data in the stations is required. By
entering commands, setpoints or parameters it is possible to intervene in the process
control of the stations.
● SINAUT ST7cc, the PC control center (single or redundant) based on WinCC. This is a
control center system for both SINAUT ST7 and SINAUT ST1, specially tailored to the
event-controlled and time-stamped data transmission of the SINAUT system.
● SINAUT ST7sc, the link to control centers of other vendors over OPC. Using the "Data
Access Interface", the SINAUT telecontrol technology can also interface with the control
center systems of other vendors. ST7sc has extensive buffer mechanisms that prevent
data loss, for example, if the OPC client fails.
The SINAUT WAN networks
The following WANs can be used for data transmission:
● Dedicated lines (copper or fiber-optic cables)
● Private wireless networks (optionally with time slots)
● Analog telephone network
● Digital ISDN network
● Mobile wireless networks (GSM)
All networks can be combined as necessary. Redundant paths are also possible. Star, bus
(linear) and node structures can be implemented.

Introduction to the SINAUT ST7 system
2.2 Components in a SINAUT ST7 system
SINAUT ST7 Station control system - System Manual
18 System Manual, 05/2007, C79000-G8976-C178-06
SINAUT over Ethernet
SINAUT communication is possible between station and control center and between stations
over Ethernet or IP-based networks. This includes transmission using the GPRS service in
mobile wireless networks (GSM networks). The prerequisite is continually available
connections.
Change-driven data transmission
The SINAUT software in the stations allows change-driven process data exchange with the
control center and between the individual CPUs.
Local data storage
One special characteristic of the TIM communications module used in the SINAUT ST7
system is the local storage of data messages (including time stamp) if there is a problem on
the communication link, if a partner fails or to optimize costs on dial-up networks.
Date and time always precise
The CPUs and even the control center (for example ST7cc) can be supplied throughout the
network with the date and time using a DCF77 radio clock. The systems therefore always
have a precise time of day including standard/daylight-saving time switchovers. Instead of
DCF77, GPS (Global Positioning System) can also be used as the time source.
SINAUT remote programming
All the diagnostic and programming function provided by SIMATIC and SINAUT for station
automation and SINAUT communication can be used beyond the SINAUT networks while
process data transmission is active.
Alerting over SMS
The CPUs can transmit event-driven SMS messages to GSM mobile phones to alert standby
personnel. It is also possible to acknowledge these messages from the mobile phone back to
the signaling CPU.
2.2 Components in a SINAUT ST7 system
The SINAUT ST7 system is based on the S7-300 and S7 400 SIMATIC systems and on
WinCC. It expands these systems by adding the special SINAUT hardware and software
components listed below.
Hardware components
The range of hardware components includes:
● TIM communications modules
● MD modem modules

● LTOP overvoltage protection modules
● Radio clock components
● Connecting cables
Software components
The range of software components includes:

2.3 SINAUT TIM communication modules
The central component of the SINAUT hardware is the TIM communications module
(Telecontrol Interface Module). It is used by the S7 CPU or control center PC for data
exchange via the relevant SINAUT network, optionally with the SINAUT ST7 or SINAUT ST1
protocol (ST1 protocol not via Ethernet).
The TIM is housed in an S7-300 enclosure and is available in four basic versions:
TIM 3V-IE
The TIM 3V-IE is a SINAUT communications module for the SIMATIC S7-300. It has an RS-
232 interface to which a suitable modem can be connected. It also has an RJ-45 interface
that allows SINAUT communication over Ethernet-based networks (LAN or WAN). The TIM
3V-IE is available in standard and advanced versions. With the advanced versions, the two
interfaces can be used at the same time for SINAUT communication. The two transmission
paths can be completely independent of each other or form a redundant transmission path.

TIM 4R-IE
The TIM 4R-IE is suitable for installation in a SIMATIC S7-300 as a communications module
and can also be connected over Ethernet to one or more SIMATIC S7-400s and to ST7cc or
ST7sc PC control centers as a standalone device.
It has two combined RS-232/RS-485 interfaces to which a classic WAN (dedicated line or
dial-up network) can be connected via a suitable modem. It also has two RJ-45 interfaces
that allow SINAUT communication over Ethernet-based networks (LAN or WAN).
All four interfaces can be used at the same time for SINAUT communication. The four
transmission paths can all be different and operated independently. The two pairs of
interfaces can also form a redundant transmission path.
TIM 3
The TIM 3 is a SINAUT communications module for the SIMATIC S7-300. It has 1 WAN
attachment. There are three variants each with a different integrated modem type.
Note
These TIM 3 types cannot be combined with a CPU 317, CPU 318, CPU 319 or with the
CPU 315-2 PN/DP!
For these CPUs, a TIM 3V-IE, TIM 3V-IE Advanced or TIM 4R-IE must be used, or a TIM 4
connected over MPI.
TIM 4
The TIM 4 is suitable for installation in the SIMATIC S7-300 as a communications module
and can also be connected via their MPI ports to one or more SIMATIC S7-300/-400s and to
ST7cc or ST7sc PC control centers as a standalone device.
It has two WAN ports, except for the TIM 4V which only has one. With the simplest TIM 4
variant, these are two RS-232/RS-485 ports to which a suitable external modem can be
connected. In three further TIM 4 variants, the first WAN interface is implemented by the
modem integrated in the TIM, the second over the additional RS-232/RS-485 port.
The two WANs that can be connected to a TIM 4 may be of the same type or different, for
example dedicated line plus telephone network. The two transmission paths can be either
completely independent of each other or form a redundant transmission path.
The TIM 4 can be optionally equipped with a DCF77 radio clock receiver.
2.3.1 Overview of All TIM Variants
All TIMs are supplied with a bus module connector allowing the TIM to be installed in an
S7-300 as a CP. TIM modules with built-in modem also feature the WAN connecting cable
required in each case. TIMs with a DCF77 radio clock receiver are supplied with the DCF77
adapter cable and TIM 4R-V variants with the adapter cable for the second RS-232/485 port.
The following table provides an overview of all TIM variants and their order numbers.
