Figure 3-1
Head-end station The head-end or central station consists of one (or several) WinCC PCs. The process connection is handled via PROFIBUS. The PROFIBUS network is connected to the dedicated line via the MD2 dedicated line modem via RJ12 cable (provided for the dedicated line modem). An LTOP is installed as over-voltage protection between the RJ12 cable and the dedicated line (transformer and overvoltage protection). Substations The MD2 modem and LTOP are connected with the dedicated line. One or several substations are connected to the MD2 modem. If a MD2 modem is used as tapping point (see station 1), a second LTOP (LTOP2) must be used. (The dedicated line is looped through here.)

Table 3-2 Advantages Existing dedicated lines can be used Low costs for intensive usage Low costs when using own dedicated lines Constant transmission speed Very high availability. Transparent PROFIBUS network at all modems There is the option to connect several substations directly at a dedicated line modem. Disadvantages Low transmission speed of 19.2 Kbit/s Based on MD2 dedicated line modem High costs for minimal usage
3.1.2
Hardware and communication The communication is transparent, i.e. at all modems it is possible to connect PROFIBUS nodes to the PROFIBUS. Furthermore there is the option to connect several nodes, such as CPUs or PROFIBUS slaves to each modem. PROFIBUS network on RS485 basis, i.e. the dedicated-line modem modulates the signals and transfers them to the dedicated line via LTOP. There is the option to use the LTOP as tapping point. In this situation, the LTOP2 must be used instead of the LTOP1. The dedicated line modem MD2 can also be used as repeater.

Basic information
Dedicated line A dedicated line is a permanent connection between two communication partners via a telecommunication network or an existing line. This connection must be provided by the respective provider and, as opposed to a dial-up connection, it is always available. It can therefore not be established by one a node in dialup mode. MD2 dedicated line modem The MD2 dedicated line modem is a tapping-capable FSK dedicated line modem for half-duplex data transmission via 2-wire or duplex data transmission via 4-wire multipoint dedicated lines. Furthermore, the MD2 can be used as repeater on 2wire and 4-wire dedicated lines. The MD2 dedicated line modem is supplied with 24V. In this application example, the MD2 dedicated line modem is used as interface between dedicated line and PROFIBUS.

Further information on the MD2 dedicated line modem is available in the entry 17163799.
Line transformer with overvoltage protection (LTOP) Automation islands are increasingly networked, whereby this networking is currently largely realized on private telephone lines via modems. Metallic lines, however, are highly susceptible to electromagnetic interference. The coupling of extraneous voltages can be inductive or capacitive, for example due to the effects of lightning. Direct conductive coupling is also possible due to bad insulation. The LTOP limits external voltage and overvoltage to a non-critical level. The floating transformer additionally provides electrical isolation, and the transfer of voltages to other cable sections is therefore prevented. LTOP protects people and investments, and is therefore an essential safety element in private trunk line networks. Further information on the LTOP is available in the entry 19993350. In this manual the difference between LTOP1 and LTOP2 is described in detail.

Figure 3-3
Head-end station The head-end or central station consists of one (or several) WinCC PCs. Process connection from WinCC PC to the controller occurs via the Ethernet interface of the PC. Via Ethernet cable the interface is connected with the router which communicates with the GPRS modem (MD720-3) via the internet and GSM/GPRS. Furthermore, the SIMATIC Software SINAUT MICRO SC (OPC Routing Software with special communication functions) is installed on the WinCC PC. This software is responsible for the communication with the controllers. Substations The MD720-3 Modem generates the connection of the substation to the provider. The communication from modem to communication module CM 1241 RS232 is created via the serial interface using a RS232C cable.

GSM/GPRS
Basic information
GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) or is the service for data transmission in the GSM network (Global System for Mobile Communications). The advantage of a GPRS connection is that the radio space is only occupied during a data transmission which only generates costs if this is the case. GPRS modem MD720-3
Copyright Siemens AG Copyright-Jahr All rights reserved
The GPRS modem SINAUT MD720-3 transmits data between S7 devices and an OPC server SINAUT MICRO SC over radio through a GSM network via GPRS. The GPRS modem is here configured by a program block of the connected CPU and automatically establishes the connection between the CPU and the OPC server. The GPRS modem is supplied with 24V. In this application example the GPRS modem MD720-3 is employed as interface between CPU and OPC server / WinCC station. Further information on GPRS modem SINAUT MD720-3 is available in the entry 23117745.
Port forwarding Port forwarding is the forwarding of a connection with arrives at a certain port of a switch / router and is then forwarded to a certain computer in the network. This means the data are not sent to all computers.

Advantages / disadvantages
Table 3-22 Advantages No direct connection of the head station and the substations via a dedicated cable necessary Low costs for minimal usage Constant transmission speed High availability. The wireless infrastructure also enables mobile substations. Higher security through VPN tunnel Disadvantages Low transmission speed
GSM/GPRS reception required High costs for intensive usage It is not possible to connect several substations directly to a GPRS modem. No transparent network at all modems Susceptibility against possible failure sources from radio transmission Contract with mobile phone provider required for each substation. Data encoding not at the highest technical level, however, better than mere GPRS solution with VPN tunnel A server infrastructure accessible from the internet is required (internet connection and fixed IP or dynamic DNS). Based on SINAUT ST7 TIM modules
3.4.2
Hardware and communication The communication between the central station and SINAUT ST7 TIM 4R-IE takes place via a standard Ethernet cable. The communication between the CPU and SINAUT ST7 TIM 4R-IE takes place via GPRS. SINAUT ST7 TIM 3V-IE is connected to the CPU via the backplane bus. A SINAUT MD741-1 modem has been connected to the SINAUT ST7 TIM 3VIE which establishes a VPN tunnel to the SCALANCE S612.
Example project This application example shows the advantages and disadvantages as well as the requirements existing for the communication between WinCC and a CPU via EGPRS (VPN tunnel). This means that the WinCC project only has the task of testing (and ensuring) the communication.

Basic information
SINAUT ST7 TIM 4R-IE In this example the SINAUT ST7 TIM 4R-IE is used in stand-alone-mode as communication module for the control center PC. Two different networks are connected to the SINAUT ST7 TIM 4R-IE and interconnected to each other. Via the SINAUT ST7 TIM 4R-IE only the SINAUT and PG communication which takes place between the connected stations can pass. This prevents unnecessary network traffic. Further information on SINAUT ST7 TIM 4R-IE is available in the entry 25695481. SINAUT ST7 TIM 3V-IE In this example the SINAUT ST7 TIM 3V-IE is used as communication module of the CPU. The CPU is connected with the SINAUT ST7 TIM 3V IE via the backplane bus and is therefore connected to the Ethernet network. Further information on SINAUT ST7 TIM 3R-IE is available in the entry 39026870. SINAUT MD741-1
