●
Central records DB
This contains all the centrally required data including the records of all communication
partners and the connections to be managed.
●
Communication DBs
A separate communication DB is created for each connection. This DB contains a send
and receive buffer and all the data required for controlling and monitoring the connection.
The package is completed by blocks for diagnostics and alarms:
●
TestCopy
This block can be used to log which messages are sent and/or received within the CPU.
●
SMS_Control
When certain user-defined events occur, this block puts together appropriate text
messages that can be transmitted as SMS messages to a specified mobile phone.
Note
With the TIM 3V-IE variants, you can choose between two alternatives:
1.
As described above, the SINAUT program is created with the TD7 blocks and
therefore runs on the CPU and takes up a corresponding amount of work memory
(TD7onCPU)
2.
The SINAUT program runs on the TIM (TD7onTIM). In an ideal situation, no program
memory on the CPU is required for SINAUT.

SINAUT ST7 configuration software for the PG
The configuration tools can be used with Windows Server 2003 SP2, Windows XP SP2 or
Windows Vista 32 Bit Ultimate and Business. STEP 7 software V5.4 SP4 or higher must also
be installed.
The configuration software includes the following components:
●
A module manager that expands the
HW Config STEP 7 tool. It handles the display and
parameter assignment of the TIM modules in
HW Config.
●
A WAN manager that expands the
NetPro STEP 7 tool. This is responsible for the display
and parameter assignment of the SINAUT WAN networks SINAUT network nodes in
NetPro.
●
The SINAUT ST 7 configuration tool is used for project-wide functions such as SINAUT
connection configuration and SINAUT subscriber management.
●
The SINAUT ST7 diagnostics and service tool. In addition to the diagnostic functions
familiar from STEP 7. Using the service tool, it is, for example, possible to load new
software on a TIM.
The module manager for SINAUT ST7
The SINAUT module manager expands the catalog of the STEP 7 hardware configuration
tool HW Config. The
SIMATIC 300 folder was extended by the SINAUT ST7 folder. This lists
all available TIM modules.
