About this documentation
What's new in SINAUT ST7?
● New version "SINAUT ST7 configuration software for the PG/PC" V5.0
– The Ethernet TIMs can be configured for communication via the MSC protocol. This
allows the use of the GPRS/GSM modem SINAUT MD720-3 even in SINAUT in
Internet/GPRS networks. An encrypted connection can be established from an
Ethernet TIM to the Internet via a DSL modem.
– The time slot method can now also be configured with the "SINAUT ST7 configuration
software for the PG/PC" as of V5.0 for a master TIM without DCF7 receiver, if a
TIM 4R-IE with an Ethernet connection to an ST7cc/ST7sc PC is used as the master
TIM.
The configuration software Version V5.0 can be used with STEP 7 as of Version V5.4
Service Pack 4.
The configuration software version V5.0 is supported by the following operating systems:
– Windows XP Professional SP2
– Windows Server 2003 SP2
– Windows Vista 32 Bit Ultimate and Business (with or without SP1)
● New firmware version V2.0 for all Ethernet TIM modules
The new firmware supports the MSC protocol.

Introduction to the SINAUT ST7 system 1
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 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.
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.

1.2 Components in a SINAUT ST7 system
Station control system
12 System Manual, 07/2009, C79000-G8976-C178-07
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 adjustment. Instead of
DCF77, GPS (Global Positioning System) can also be used as the time source.
SINAUT remote programming
All the diagnostic and programming functions 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.
1.2 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
● Mobile wireless components (GSM)
● LTOP overvoltage protection modules
● Radio clock components
● Connecting cables

1.3 SINAUT TIM communication modules
Station control system
System Manual, 07/2009, C79000-G8976-C178-07 13
Software components
The range of software components includes:
● Standard software for SINAUT ST7 consisting of the individual packages
– SINAUT TD7 library. This contains blocks for the S7-CPU.
– SINAUT ST7 configuration and diagnostic software for the programming device
● SINAUT ST7cc, the expansion package for WinCC consisting of
– ST 7 Server, the interface between ST7 and WinCC
– ST7cc Config, the configuration tool for ST7cc
● SINAUT ST7sc, the SCADA Connect software, consisting of
– OPC server, the interface between ST7 and an OPC client
– ST7sc Config, the configuration tool for ST7sc
Note
The standard software for SINAUT ST7 is described in detail in Volume 2 of this system
manual.
The SINAUT ST7cc and SINAUT ST7sc software packages are described in separate
manuals.
1.3 SINAUT TIM communication modules
The central component of the SINAUT hardware is the TIM communications module
(Telecontrol Interface Module). This handles the data traffic for the S7-CPU or for the control
center PC with the aid of the SINAUT ST7 protocol via the relevant SINAUT network.
The TIM is housed in an S7-300 enclosure and is available in three 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 IP-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.

Introduction to the SINAUT ST7 system
1.3 SINAUT TIM communication modules
Station control system
14 System Manual, 07/2009, C79000-G8976-C178-07
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 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 connectors in the form of RS-232/RS-485 ports to which a suitable external
modem can be connected.
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 4RD is equipped with a DCF77 radio clock receiver.
1.3.1 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. The adapter cable for the second RS-232/RS-485 port ships with the
TIM 4R variant. The DCF77 adapter cable ships with the TIM 4RD with DCF77 radio clock
receiver.
The following table provides an overview of all TIM variants and their order numbers.

1.3.2 The TIM 3V-IE variants
The TIM 3V-IE is available in standard and advanced versions. The two communications
processors share the following properties:
● TIM without integrated modem, single width
● For installation as a communications processor (CP) in an S7-300
● With a TIM 3V-IE, an S7-300 CPU or a C7 control system can then handle SINAUT
communication:
– Via a classic SINAUT WAN network with SINAUT partners
– Over an IP-based network (WAN or LAN) with SINAUT ST7 subscribers
● It has two interfaces:
– RS-232 interface for connection of required WAN transmission equipment (classic
SINAUT WAN)
To allow use of GPRS, the serial interface of a station TIM 3V-IE can be connected to
a GSM network via the GSM modem MD720-3. This requires the MSC protocol to be
enabled in the STEP 7 > Properties dialog of the TIM > Interfaces tab. The WAN
interface then behaves like a dynamic Ethernet interface.
– RJ-45 interface for attachment to Ethernet
● The SINAUT TD7 software is integrated on the TIM (TD7onTIM)
● Modules can be replaced without the need for a programming device
The following properties are different on the TIMs:

1.3.3 Design of the TIM 3V-IE variants
The TIM 3V-IE variants have all the advantages of the SIMATIC S7-300 system design:
● Compact design; single standard width of the SM modules of the SIMATIC S7-300
● 9-pin D-sub male connector with an RS-232 interface for connecting a modem
● RJ-45 jack for connection to Ethernet; industrial design with additional collar for inserting
the IE FC RJ-45 Plug 180
● 2-pin plug-in terminal block for connecting the external supply voltage of 24 V DC
● Front LEDs for display of Ethernet and WAN communication
● Easy to mount; the TIM is mounted on the S7-300 rail and connected to adjacent
modules by means of the bus module connectors. No slot rules apply.
● Can be operated in an expansion rack (ER) in conjunction with the IM 360/361. This
allows the TIM to be combined with a C7 control system, with the newer C7 control
systems it can also be combined using the supplied I/O expansion cable.
● Can be operated without a fan
● A backup battery or memory module are not required
