Configuring the communications software TD7onTIM
The communication of the CPU of an S7 station is handled by a DNP3 TIM. The TIM
supports communication with the following partners:
– Communication of the local CPU with DNP3 control centers
– Communication of the local CPU with MODBUS slaves
The organization of SINAUT communication is handled by the TD7 software. When using
the DNP3 protocol, the TD7 software is available only in the version "TD7onTIM"; in other
words, it is part of the TIM firmware.
TD7onTIM handles the sending and receiving of process data for the local CPU. Data
that the CPU sends is read from the CPU via the backplane bus by the TIM using
TD7onTIM. Received data is written to the CPU by the TIM using TD7onTIM.
The communications partners of the CPU, general communications parameters and the
data and address parameters are configured in TD7onTIM.
You create the configuration in the subscriber administration in the "TIMs with TD7onTIM"
entry.

Saving and compiling
On completion of the configuration, the project is saved in the subscriber administration. The
SINAUT configuration tool generates the system data blocks (SDBs) resulting from the
configuration for all TIMs, the SDBs for the CPUs required by the TD7onTIM software.
