Note
TD7onTIM cannot be used if the TIM sends or receives ST1 messages. In this case, you
must use TD7onCPU
This section deals only with configuration of TD7onTIM .
If the SINAUT project you are editing does not contain TD7onTIM-compliant TIM modules,
you can skip this section and continue configuration with saving and generating system data.
If the project you are editing contains TD7onTIM-compliant TIM modules, on which you want
to configure the TD7onTIM software, you do this in the subscriber administration of the
SINAUT ST7 configuration tool.
1.10.2 Basic functions and components of TD7onTIM
Basic functions and components of TD7onTIM
TD7onTIM handles the sending and receiving of process data for the local CPU. Data to be
sent by TD7onTIM, is read by the TIM over the backplane bus of the CPU, received data is
written to the CPU.
SINAUT communication makes use of SINAUT objects: Which data is to be sent or received
can be configured over standardized data objects. These are collected in the TD7onTIM
standard library. This library also contains the system objects with which system information
is displayed and with which system functions are activated and set.
The parameter assignment for TD7onTIM is made in the subscriber administration of the
SINAUT ST7 configuration tool in the following steps:
● Setting basic parameters for TD7onTIM
● Specifying the parameters specific to the destination subscribers
● Inserting system objects and assigning parameters to them
● Inserting data objects including their send and receive channels and assigning
parameters to them
The basic settings for TIM subscribers with TD7onTIM
For each TIM with TD7onTIM, several settings must be made that are always required when
working with TD7onTIM, for example specifying the read/write cycle. The settings are made
in the basic settings for TIM subscribers with TD7onTIM.
The parameters specific to the destination subscribers
Each TIM with TD7onTIM can exchange data with one or more partners, known as
destination subscribers. Which subscribers in the project are suitable as destination
subscribers depends on the connection configuration. Here, you specify which TIM with
TD7onTIM will have a connection with which SINAUT subscriber in the network.
Several settings are required for each of the possible destination subscribers that apply to
data traffic between the TD7onTIM of a project and this subscriber, for example whether the
