7. In the case of a TIM with an internal modem, insert the cable supplied with the TIM for the
internal modem into the X3 RJ-12 Western jack. This is located above the power supply
connector of the TIM. The catch of the RJ-12 Western plug must be on the right hand
side when it is inserted.
Note
It is best to hold the cable just below the RJ-12 plug. This makes it easier to insert the
plug than if you hold the RJ-12 plug itself.
8. If you are connecting the TIM to an external modem, the insert the 9-pin D-sub connector
of the modem connecting cable into the X1 (or X2) connector of the TIM and screw it
tight.
Note
The standard connecting cable 6NH7701-4AL for connecting the modem to a TIM
module (RS-232) is connected to the MD2, MD3 or MD4 modem "head first" so that the
cable comes away towards the top.
With a TIM 4, the standard connecting cable is also connected from above. With the
TIM 3V-IE variants and the TIM 4R-IE, the cable is connected from below.
9. If a DCF77 radio clock is installed in a TIM 4, the BNC plug of the antenna cable must be
screwed to the BNC socket of the DCF77 adapter cable.
10. To install further TIMs in a rack, follow the same steps as described above.
Note
With a TIM 3V-IE, only one TIM module may be installed per S7-300. This means that
TIM modules of other types cannot be added either.
11. Once all the TIMs are installed, the power supply can be turned on. The TIM starts up.
The LEDs indicate the current start-up activities (see separate section
Start-up activities
).
12. Once it has started up, the TIM can be supplied with its parameters (SDBs) using the
SINAUT Diagnostics and Service tool. With the TIM 3V-IE variants and the TIM 4R-IE,
the SDBs can also be loaded on the memory card of the S7-300 CPU, with the
TIM 4R-IE, you can also use the optional C-PLUG of this module for storage. The TIM
receives then its configuration data from the CPU during startup or takes it from the
inserted C-PLUG.
