●
Ethernet TIM
Compared to a classic TIM, an Ethernet TIM (ST7-TIM) has additional LAN interfaces for
IP-based communication.
●
ST7-TIM:
An ST7-TIM uses the SINAUT ST7 telecontrol protocol.
–
The TIM 3V-IE versions have an RS-232 and an Ethernet interface.
–
The TIM 4R-IE has two RS-232 / RS-485 and two Ethernet interfaces.
–
The TIM 1531 IRC has two RS-232 / RS-485 and two Ethernet interfaces.
●
DNP3 TIM
A DNP3 TIM uses the DNP3 telecontrol protocol.
–
TIM 3V-IE DNP3 has an RS-232 interface and an Ethernet interface.
–
TIM 4R-IE DNP3 has four WAN connections: Two RS-232/RS-485 interfaces and two
Ethernet interfaces
Unconditional spontaneous frame
Spontaneous / conditional spontaneous / unconditional spontaneous frame
VPN
Virtual Private Network
Technology for secure transportation of confidential data in public IP networks, for example
the Internet.
WAN
Wide Area Network
Data network with a large geographical span, such as the Internet. telephone or enterprise
networks. The following WANs can be used with SINAUT:
●
WAN, classic
Includes SINAUT communication via dedicated lines (private or leased), private wireless
networks, analog telephone network, digital ISDN network and mobile networks (without
Internet).
A classic WAN is connected via suitable transmission device (modem) to a serial
interface of the TIM.
●
WAN, IP-based
Includes IP-based telecontrol communication via wireless, fiber-optic cables, public
networks and the Internet using services such as DSL, GPRS or UMTS or via broadband
systems such as OTN and PCM30.
An IP-based WAN is normally connected to an RJ-45 interface of an Ethernet TIM via an
Ethernet-compliant module.
