6.5.3.4 "DB Configuration" tab
DB Configuration tab
This tab has no significance for DNP3, because the CPU does not require any telecontrol-
specific data blocks.
6.5.3.5 "Library Info" tab
Library Info
tab
This tab shows the name, path, version, date of creation and source information for the
German and English version of the
SINAUT TD7 library
with which system data for the
current CPU will be generated.
Nothing is displayed here for a DNP3 CPU because TD7onTIM is used if you use the DNP3
protocol.
6.6 TD7onTIM
6.6.1 Function of the TD7 software
Functions
The telecontrol 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 telecontrol communication is handled by the "SINAUT TD7" software
package. 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.
