Design of the TIM 3V-IE variants
The TIM 3V-IE variants have all the advantages of the SIMATIC S7-300 system design:
●
Compact design; single standard width of the SM modules of the SIMATIC S7-300
●
9-pin D-sub male connector with an RS-232 interface for connecting a modem
●
RJ-45 jack for connection to Ethernet; industrial design with additional collar for inserting
the IE FC RJ-45 Plug 180
●
2-pin plug-in terminal block for connecting the external supply voltage of 24 V DC
●
Front LEDs for display of Ethernet and WAN communication
●
Easy to mount; the TIM is mounted on the S7-300 rail and connected to adjacent
modules by means of the bus module connectors. No slot rules apply.
●
Can be operated in an expansion rack (ER) in conjunction with the IM 360/361. This
allows the TIM to be combined with a C7 control system, with the newer C7 control
systems it can also be combined using the supplied I/O expansion cable.
●
Can be operated without a fan
●
A backup battery or memory module are not required
