The interfaces for which you can set parameters are listed in an overview box. If you click on
one of the interfaces, the parameters for time synchronization appear below the box for the
interface.
Note
In the overview box of the TIM 4R-IE, the "S7-300 backplane bus" interface is always
displayed. Parameters can, however, only be set for this interface if the TIM 4R-IE is inserted
in an S7-300 as a CP.
The overview box is not available for modules without an Ethernet interface. Here, you can
only set parameters for time synchronization on the MPI bus or S7-300 backplane bus. The
same parameters are displayed as for an Ethernet TIM if the "S7-300 backplane bus" is
selected there.
If a TIM is inserted in an S7-300 as a CP, time synchronization on the "S7-300 backplane
bus" specifies when the time synchronization of the local S7-300 CPU is performed. If other
TIMs are inserted in the same S7 rack, these are also synchronized at the same intervals as
set here.
For a TIM 4 with MPI interface, the parameter settings for synchronization of the SINAUT
nodes attached to the MPI bus apply (PCs, S7-300 and S7-400 CPUs and any other TIM 4
modules connected to the MPI bus).
