When configuring a new SINAUT telecontrol system, the SINAUT configuration tool must be
started after the network has been configured to allow configuration of the connections and
then the data of the subscribers. Following each step, the configured data must be saved.
Finally, the system data blocks for TIM and CPU modules and the SINAUT TD7 software
blocks must be generated and then downloaded to the relevant modules.
Note
The language for all STEP 7 applications including the configuration tools can be changed in
the SIMATIC Manager in the
Options / Customize / Language menu.
1.1.3 GPRS / Internet communication: Overview of configuration
Alternative configurations
There are two options available for communication via GPRS / Internet:
● Highly secure communication via GPRS and Internet with the MD741-1
● Simple communication via GPRS or Internet/DSL with the MSC protocol
Communication via GPRS and Internet with the MD741-1
Communication with GPRS and a GSM network using the Internet is possible with the
Ethernet TIMs and the GPRS MD741-1 modem. The MD741-1 has a VPN router with IPSec
and encryption software and its own firewall.
When this is required, the Ethernet interface of the TIM is configured as a GPRS master
station, GPRS node station or GPRS station, see also section
"Interfaces" tab (Page 37).
Following the SINAUT configuration, the other communications parameters are configured
on the MD741-1. For more information, refer to the system manual SINAUT MD741-1 in the
SIMATIC NET Manual Collection that ships with the product.
Simple Internet communication with the MSC protocol
The MSC protocol is used for "simple Internet communication". The MSC protocol supports
authentication of the communications partner and simple encryption of data. An MSC tunnel
is established between the MSC station and MSC master station.
The following devices can be used depending on the network node type:
