– Stand-alone device that can be connected to a SIMATIC S7-400 or S7-400H via
Ethernet.
With the TIM modules, communication can be established between DNP3 master stations
and SIMATIC S7 stations via a WAN (Wide Area Network) or Ethernet (TCP/IP).
S7 stations with a DNP3 TIM can be connected to DNP3 control systems from Siemens or
other vendors.
A DNP3 master station can be a TIM or a control system.
In the SIMATIC world, PCS 7 (single or redundant) can be used as the central control center.
The process data in the process image of a master station TIM is output to the local CPU of
the master station TIM. Via interfaces of the CPU or additional interfaces (CPs) of the
SIMATIC station, process data can be output to other display devices, for example to
Operator Panels.

1.4 Communications services of the TIM
The communication of the TIM is based on the DNP3 SPECIFICATION Version 2.x
(2007/2009).
This handles the data traffic for the S7-CPU or for the control center PC with the aid of the
DNP3 protocol via the relevant network.
The DNP3 specification divides devices into classes according to their range of functions.
The DNP3 TIM supports the DNP3 implementation levels 1 - 4 according to the DNP3
specification (DNP3 Application Layer protocol Level).
Some communications objects of the TIM provide functions that go beyond the DNP3
specification, refer to the section Supported DNP3 object groups (Page 162). The DNP3
implementation level of these objects is designated "5".
To ensure that the communications functions are possible during operation, the
implementation level of every DNP3 subscriber in the project is specified in the TD7onTIM
configuration.
The TIM supports S7 communication and PG/OP communication with the following
functions:
● PG functions
● Operator control and monitoring functions (HMI)
● PUT/GET (TIM 4R-IE only)
The TIM 4R-IE supports the PUT/GET services as client and server for data exchange
with remote S7-300/400 stations.
Devices that communicate using the MODBUS protocol can be connected as MODBUS
slaves to a SIMATIC S7 station with a DNP3 TIM. The TIM of the S7 station operates as
MODBUS master.
The communication is handled in the S7 station via the serial interface of a DNP3 TIM. The
serial interface of the TIM is configured for this purpose in the SINAUT configuration tool for
the MODBUS protocol.
You will find the number of MODBUS slaves that can be connected per station in the section
Configuration limits (Page 28).

1.4 Communications services of the TIM
The following subscriber types are specified in the DNP3 specification:
●
For the subscriber type "Master", the term "DNP3 master station" is used in this manual.
A master station is a higher-level controlling device.
When using DNP3 TIM modules, the following devices can operate as the DNP3 master
station:
– DNP3 TIM
– Control center system
System supported by the DNP3 master function, for example an OPC client system.
●
For the subscriber type "Outstation", the term "DNP3 station" is used in this manual.
As a lower-level system, the DNP3 station sends process data (measured values,
statuses) to the DNP3 master station and receives switching or setpoint commands from
the DNP3 master station.
The following DNP3 subscriber types are supported by the TIM modules:
●
Master in the sense of the DNP3 specification
The DNP3 master station is a DNP3 TIM in an S7-300/S7-400 station.
Due to the lower performance of the TIM 3V IE DNP3 (max. 8 possible connections), the
TIM 4R IE DNP3 is recommended as the master station TIM.
In the case of the TIM 3V IE DNP3, the output device for the process data is the
connected S7 CPU.
If a TIM 4R-IE DNP3 is used, the process data can be sent to control systems or other
output devices via other interfaces of the module.
The polling of the stations is specified in the configuration of the TIM.

TIM 3V-IE DNP3 or TIM 4R-IE DNP3 in an S7-300/S7-400 station
●
S7 station with a TIM 4R-IE DNP3, that connects two DNP3 networks. It has at least the
following connections:
– Connection to the DNP3 master station via LAN or WAN
– Connection to hierarchically lower-level DNP3 stations via LAN or WAN
The DNP3 subscriber type is set in the configuration using the "Connection mode" of the
Ethernet interfaces of the TIM.
●
The setting of the master station function on an interface has the effect that the TIM
functions as a DNP3 master station on this interface.
●
The setting of the station function on an interface has the effect that the TIM functions as
a DNP3 station on this interface.
●
The two interfaces with the "Node station" setting must therefore be connected once to
the master station and once to the lower-level DNP3 network.
You make the settings for the DNP3 functions of the interfaces in the STEP 7 configuration
of the TIM, refer to the section "Interfaces" tab (Page 119).
The DNP3 protocol defines a series of device attributes that identify the functions of the
devices of different manufacturers. A DNP3 master station can query and, if required,
evaluate the attributes of the connected stations.
The DNP3 TIMs support the following device attributes:

1.7 Transmission types and connection establishment
Depending on the network type via which the DNP3 stations communicate, communication
between the DNP3 stations is handled as follows:
●
The DNP3 stations are connected via the following network types:
– Ethernet
– Dial-up network
A direct connection is established.
●
The DNP3 stations are connected via the following network types:
– DNP3 dedicated line
The connection is always via the CPU of the DNP3 master station or a higher-level node
station.
Data received in the master station or node station from the transmitting source station is
initially stored on the CPU of the master or node station. For this to be possible, receive
objects must be configured on the TIM of the master or node station.
In a second step, the data must then be read out of the CPU by send objects and
forwarded to the destination station.
Diagnostics and programming functions provided by SIMATIC and SIMATIC NET
Telecontrol for station automation and telecontrol communication can be used via Ethernet
while process data transmission is active.
You will find details in the section SINAUT diagnostics and service tool (Page 242).
The priority of the transfer of the process values from the station to the master station is
configured in the parameter box "Send parameters" for sending communications objects:
The configuration of the send parameters is described in the following section:
Data objects: Partner and send parameters (Page 194)
●
The data is read out of the image memory of the station TIM when it is polled by the
DNP3 master station (class 0 poll).

The data is stored as an event in the send buffer and actively transferred to the DNP3
master station.
You will find detailed information about the event classes in the section Classification of
the data according to the type of transmission (Page 161).
Transfer of the data can be triggered by various criteria:
– Reaching a configured number of events in the send buffer of the TIM
The configuration is described in the following section:
"DNP3 parameters" dialog (Page 123) > "DNP3 event parameters" tab
For dial-up networks, you will find further setting options in the following section:
Configuring WAN network nodes (Page 99)
– Settable trigger conditions:
- Change-driven transmission
- Cyclic transmission
- Time-driven transmission
The configuration is described in the following section:
Data objects: Memory area and triggers of the channels (Page 200)
●
The initiative for connection establishment depends on the transmission type configured
for a data point:
– Static data points
The current values of all data points (including the events) are always transferred as
the reply to polls by the DNP3 master station. The initiative for connection
establishment comes from the DNP3 master (see above "Command direction"
parameter).
– Data points configured as an event
The value of a data point configured as an event is transferred on the initiative of the
station, see above (event classes).
●
To allow a station to establish the connection to a partner station actively, the "Command
direction" parameter must be enabled in the sending objects (TD7onTIM configuration >
TIM with TD7onTIM > Object > Send parameter).

overall size of the message memory can be configured and can be reduced. Since the
The TIM saves the data messages (including the time stamp) of data points that are
configured as an event. This reduces the data loss if disturbances occur on the
communications path or if a partner fails.
Size of the message memory:
● TIM 3V-IE DNP3: 64 000 events
● TIM 4R-IE DNP3: 200 000 events
If you use a backup battery in the TIM 4R-IE DNP3, events are retained even if there is a
power outage. On return of power, the connected DNP3 master stations can read these
events.
If there are several DNP3 master stations connected, the available message memory of a
station is divided up according to the number of master stations.
The system time of the station TIM of a DNP3 station can be set in two ways as described
below:
● Time-of-day synchronization using DNP3 mechanisms
● Time-of-day synchronization with NTP (Network Time Protocol)
(for TIM 4R-IE DNP3 only)
ote the following points relating to time-of-day synchronization:
Make sure that only one subscriber ever operates as the time-of-day master in a DNP3
network.
Make sure that only one of the methods of time-of-day synchronization listed below is

Time-of-day synchronization with NTP
Configuration
1.9 Time synchronization
The system time of the station TIM can be set by a PC of the connected DNP3 master
station.
If the TIM module has established a connection to the DNP3 master station, the TIM module
requests time-of-day synchronization by the master station in the accompanying internal
indication bit "IIN1.4 [NEED_TIME]".
If the master station supports this function, it sends time-of-day messages with the time of
day to the TIM module. The TIM system time is set whenever a time-of-day message is
received.
Remember that the time of day of DNP3 master stations in UTC format generally does not
take into account daylight saving time or time zones.
To request a renewed time-of-day synchronization, the TIM sets the corresponding IIN1.4 bit
after a configurable time has elapsed since the last time-of-day synchronization. The
synchronization cycles are specified in the configuration.
The time of day synchronization using NTP is only supported by the TIM 4R IE DNP3. It is
intended for the TIM as DNP3 master station.
The following use of the two Ethernet interfaces of the TIM 4R IE DNP3 is a practical
solution:
● One Ethernet interface for connecting the DNP3 network
● One Ethernet interface for connecting to one or two NTP servers
As a result, the two networks are separated from each other.
The TIM supports the following variants of NTP:
● NTP
time-of-day synchronization method without authentication
● NTP (secure)
The secure method NTP (secure) uses authentication with symmetrical keys according to
the hash algorithms MD5 or SHA-1.
You configure time-of-day synchronization in STEP 7, refer to the section Configuring timeof-day synchronization (Page 134).
