Number of TIM 4R/4RD modules per S7-CPU or
PC
Several, number depends on the communication
resources of the S7-CPU or of the PC
Local communication in the rack of an S7-300
•
Over backplane bus with the S7-300-CPU
•
Over backplane bus with other TIMs in the
rack
•
Over MPI port of the S7-300-CPU
2)
with other
CPUs, TIMs, and/or PCs
•
Possible using TD7onCPU
1)
•
Possible
•
Possible over TD7onCPU (for S7-300 and
S7-400) and S7 communication (for
ST7cc/ST7sc and TIMs)
Local communication in standalone mode
•
Over MPI port of the CPU with CPUs, other
TIMs and/or PCs
•
Possible over TD7onCPU (for S7-300 and
S7-400) and S7 communication (for
ST7cc/ST7sc and TIMs)
Work memory required on the S7 CPU
