 1 Introduction

1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
With the integration of the SINAUT project planning in the TIA Portal (from V14
SP1 Upd2), the complete communication configuration takes place in one tool.
The TeleControl portfolio has been expanded with the TIM 1531 IRC, which can be
connected to the central control station as a stand-alone device.
This means that one or more RTUs can be used as substations in existing
TeleControl systems or in new systems with the SINAUT ST7 protocol.
In this application example, an RTU based on SIMATIC S7-1500, a
SIMATIC S7-1200 using the CP 1243-8 IRC and a SIMATIC ET 200SP using the
CP 1542SP-1 IRC are each configured in a new system with TIA Portal.

The following graphic shows the configuration scenario that is implemented in this
example.

Besides the number of existing ST7cc servers and directly connected TIMs,
the status of the TCO (communication module of the ST7cc software) is also
displayed. For more information, refer to the ST7cc Control Center manual
(see link \7\ in the appendix).

• Position 2: Local TIM

The picture-typical shows whether the TIM is reachable (subscriber), the last
general interrogation to the TIM was completed without errors (GR) and the
time on the TIM is OK (clock).
In the detail view, you can manually trigger a general request to the TIM, which
then transmits its most current accounting information. The processing of the
general interrogation can be followed at the GR display as well as in the text
field "GR" in the faceplate.

 2 Engineering

• Position 3: Station
The picture-typical shows whether the station CPU can be reached
(subscriber), that the last general interrogation to the station was completed
without errors (GR) and that the time in the station is correct (clock).
A general request can also be triggered in the detail view. All data telegrams
possibly still stored there as well as a current process image are then
transferred from the CP in the station.
The other two command options (switching a continuous connection on and
