Interface adapter cable
The TIM 4R / TIM 4RD has a second serial interface X3 (combined RS-232/RS-485). The
interface (8-pin RJ-45 jack) is accessible from below.
An adapter cable is required to connect the second serial port with an external modem or
other transmission device. At one end of this cable, there is an RJ-45 plug and at the other
end, a 9-pin D-sub miniature male connector to which the normal connecting cable to the
modem or transmission device can be connected.
The adapter cable is supplied with each TIM 4R/4RD module. It can also be ordered as a
spare part under the number listed in the following table.

Options for connecting up and settings for the TIM 4R or TIM 4RD
Introduction
The following paragraphs explain the connection options for the TIM 4R / TIM 4RD and the
location of the DIL switches with which you can make the hardware settings for the TIM.
In all the figures, the TIM is shown without front panels.
Note
Before you install a TIM module on the S7-300 rail, it is advisable to make all the required
settings for operation on all the DIL switches of the TIM. These switches are more accessible
when the module is not installed. If there is a DCF77 radio clock on the TIM, you should also
plug in the DCF77 adapter cable before installing the TIM.
