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
indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
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.

Security information
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is
necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial
security concept. Siemens’ products and solutions constitute one element of such a concept.
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems,
machines and networks. Such systems, machines and components should only be
connected to an enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent such a connection is
necessary and only when appropriate security measures (e.g. firewalls and/or network
segmentation) are in place.
For additional information on industrial security measures that may be implemented, please
visit
Link: (http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity)
Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more
secure. Siemens strongly recommends that product updates are applied as soon as they are
available and that the latest product versions are used. Use of product versions that are no
longer supported, and failure to apply the latest updates may increase customers’ exposure
to cyber threats.

The SINAUT ST7 system

1.1
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 less complex 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 SINAUT ST7 specially tailored to the event-driven 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 WANs
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 networks (GSM)
All networks can be combined as necessary. Redundant paths are also possible. Star, bus
(linear) and node structures can be implemented.
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 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 (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 date and time of the CPUs can be synchronized across the network with the control
station, such as ST7cc, using various mechanisms. The systems therefore always have a
precise time of day including standard/daylight-saving time adjustment.
SINAUT remote programming
All the diagnostic and programming functions provided by SIMATIC and SINAUT for station
automation and SINAUT communication can be used online beyond Ethernet networks.
Alerting over SMS
The CPUs can transmit event-controlled SMS messages to mobile phones to alert standby
personnel. This is supported by both variants of the TD7 software (TD7onCPU and
TD7onTIM) although the range of functions is slightly different. This is described in detail in
the SINAUT ST7 system manual, volumes 2 and 3.
1.2
Components in a SINAUT ST7 system
The SINAUT ST7 system is based on the SIMATIC S7-300/400 systems and on
SIMATIC WinCC or PCS 7 TeleControl. It expands these systems with the SINAUT
components listed below which consist of both hardware and software.
