function allows connection of one or more client applications. These clients are either
connected to the server over a suitable communication medium, for example Ethernet, or
they are installed on the same PC as SINAUT ST7sc.

One or more SINAUT ST7 TIM communications processors are connected either over the
MPI S7 standard bus or Ethernet.
