SINAUT Communication via Radio

henno2000

Hi,

I have seen a post from yourself which states that you have successfully configured a SINAUT connection via radio to link 2 CPU.

If possible do you have any advice on the setup of a system?

I have 2 SINAUT TIM 3V-IE units that I am wanting to connect to each CPU (315-2 PN/DP) and then connect a radio modem (RS232) to each unit to send data between each PLC.

To do this, do you need the CPUs stored within the same project folder to enable the SINAUT communication? (I am assuming so, as I have tried using the separate projects and it does not work)

I have installed and configured the ST7 software, but am unsure on how to pass data from one CPU to another. (via either RS232 or ethernet)

If possible, could you please give advice?

Regards,

Wireless-connection SINAUT ST7 outside stations can be permanently controlled (not just online monitoring) with low initial investment and operating costs. Planning and commissioning of GPRS-connected outside stations does not require any mobile radio expertise. Thanks to Internet connections between mobile radio provider and OPC server. Encrypted data transmission is via IPSec-based VPN and firewall. All modems connect to the central stations via VPN. This means that controllers can communicate with one another in both directions via the central stations using the VPN tunnel. Your own VPN means that you don't need one to be installed by the mobile radio provider.

Just a thought... If you would like to explore further the Sinaut wireless offerings, you could look here:

On the other hand, if your application requires some specialized hardware, please provide more details. For example, some vendors offer Siemens-approved and tested units, such as data-Link:

Hope this helps,
