7.3.5 Service functions
7.3.5.1 Download SDB
Description of the functions
The
Download SDB
function downloads the system data blocks of a TIM module from the
program directory of the SIMATIC Manager to the module. This is the same procedure as
the
Download Module
function in the SIMATIC Manager.
To activate newly downloaded SDBs on a TIM module, the TIM must be restarted.
Note
When a TIM module is restarted after downloading new SDBs, the connection between the
TIM and other SINAUT partners (SINAUT connections) is terminated. This leads to error
messages on the partners of the TIM module.
When downloading SDBs to TIM modules, you should therefore note the following points:
● Before you transfer the SDBs, you should give the TIM the opportunity of transferring any
messages stored on it.
● After restarting the TIM, the SINAUT connections are established again automatically, the
connection between the PG and the TIM must, however, be activated by the user on the
PG if it is required.
For more detailed information, refer to section Configuration in STEP 7 (Page 77).
