● MSC master station
Only a TIM 4R-IE can be used as the MSC master station.
Ethernet interface 1 of the TIM is connected to the Internet via a DSL modem.
● MSC station, MSC node station
There are two alternative ways of connecting to the master station:
– Direct connection of the MSC station/node station to the Internet
Here, a DSL modem is connected to the Ethernet interface of the TIM.
In this case, a TIM 3V-IE Advanced or a TIM 4R-IE can be used.
– Internet connection of the MSC station/node station via an MD720-3 modem to a
GPRS network
Any Ethernet TIM can be used.
During interface configuration, the WAN interface of the TIM is configured as a
"dynamic Ethernet interface" (on a TIM 4R-IE, this is WAN 1).
Only the MD720-3 can be used as the modem. The MD720-3 operates in terminal
mode and as default is controlled by the application of the connected TIM. For more
information, refer to the system manual SINAUT MD720-3 in the SIMATIC NET
Manual Collection that ships with the product.
Configuring simple Internet communication with the MSC protocol
The networking of the interfaces is done in STEP 7 in the properties dialog of the TIM, see
section
"Interfaces" tab (Page 37).
You create the connection from the master station to the station in the connection
configuration of the SINAUT configuration tool.
For the Internet connection of the MSC station via a GSM network, you configure the
remaining MSC data in the subscriber management of the SINAUT configuration tool, see
section
Configuring the GPRS providers for MSC stations (Page 90) and "MSC Station List"
(Page
110).
1.1.4 Generating system data after changing the configuration of an existing system
Generating system data after changing the configuration of an existing system
Changes to an existing system made in the network configuration
NetPro
or in the hardware
configuration
HW Config
are saved there. The new system data blocks, on the other hand,
can be generated in various configuration tools.
In the following situations, after changes have been made to the project configuration, the
SINAUT configuration tool should be started to generate the system data blocks (SDB) in the
Subscriber Administration
:
● After changing the configuration of a TIM module
● After changing the configuration of a configured connection to a SINAUT subscriber
● After changing SINAUT parameters of a PC station
