Configuration software for SINAUT ST7
1.5 Setting TIM module parameters
Software
44 System Manual, 07/2009, C79000-G8976-C222-07
Range of values: 0 ... 1024 Kbytes
Default: 0
●
Size of memory block
:
This is the size of the blocks into which the global message memory is segmented. Each
message to be transmitted occupies at least this space in memory. The size should be
matched up with the size of the messages most commonly transmitted.
If the size is set too small, longer messages must be distributed over several blocks. If the
size is set too large, memory space is wasted with many of the messages.
Range of values: 48 ... 65535 bytes
Default: 64
●
RAM drive
:
In this input box, you set the size of the RAM drive.
The RAM drive is a restricted area in the main memory of the TIM module that can be
created for special test purposes. The memory cannot be used for normal operation and
is deleted again when the TIM module is restarted.
On the TIM 3V-IE, the RAM drive is already set up at 100 Kbytes, the value 0 is displayed
here and cannot be modified.
On the TIM 3V-IE Advanced and the TIM 4R-IE, the RAM drive (100 Kbytes) can be
modified.
Range of values: 0 .. 1024 Kbytes
Default: 0
In the
Replace module without PG
box, you can enable the following option for the Ethernet
TIMs:
●
Save configuration data on the CPU
: (Ethernet TIMs only):
If you enable this option, the system data blocks (SDBs) of the TIM module are stored on
the CPU. If the TIM module fails, the defective TIM can be replaced by a TIM of the same
type without leading to download the SDBs to the TIM using a PG. The TIM module
obtains its SDBs from its local CPU during startup.
If the TIM is configured as a standalone TIM without a CPU in the rack, this function is not
available.
Note
If there is no C-PLUG inserted in a TIM 4R-IE, the configuration data is stored in flash
memory. If there is a C-PLUG inserted in the TIM 4R-IE, the configuration data is stored
automatically on the C-PLUG when it is downloaded. If you replace the module, you can
insert the C-PLUG with the configuration data in the new module.
In the
Local Subscribers
box, you can enable the following option for the TIM 4R-IE:
●
Send information about disrupted local subscribers vial dial-up networks
:
If this option is enabled, the TIM signals the failure of local subscribers over connected
dial-up networks to the substations.
To reduce costs resulting from the automatic connection establishment in dial-up
networks when subscribers drop out, this option can be disabled.
