| The TINEC driver is shipped with Citect
for Windows Versions 2.10 and 3.00, however there is no
documentation on how to configure this driver shipped with these
versions. This documentation will be shipped in a later version.
This article contains the required information to setup the TINEC
driver.
Configuring the TINEC driver requires you to:
- Setup your Citect Project
- Configure the CP1413 Card (in the Citect computer)
- Configure the 505-CP1434TF Card in the PLC
Required Hardware
The SINEC H1 protocol uses Siemens Sinec H1 Nim (505-CP1434TF) in
the PLC and a Siemens CP1413 in the PC.
Citect Communications Forms
The Citect configuration of the TINEC driver is very simple. The
following example illustrates how to fill out the Boards, Ports and
IO Devices Forms.

Configure the CP1413 Card for Citect
Computer
Install the CP1413 in the PC and run the Siemens install program
(provided with the card) to set up the card parameters. Use the
Siemens COM1413tf program to generate a StartUp.LDB for the CP1413
to load. The Address in the Units form contains a name which is the
link to the Application Association Name in your Startup.LDB. This
links to the definition of a communication connection with a remote
Node address ie the PLCs Node. For example;
The Citect Node:
| Node Name:
|
CITECT1
|
| Station Address:
|
08.00.06.01.00.10
|
| CP_Type:

Configure CP1413 card for PLC
Use the Siemens 505-CP1434TF H1 Configurator program to configure
the Sinec H1 Nim for the PLC. The configuration is the Nim must
match the settings in the Startup.LDB file. For Example;
The PLC Node:
| Local Ethernet Address:
|
080006010001
|
| TF Services:
|

The TINEC driver uses the predefined variable names which are
supported by the Sinec H1 Nim. You do not need to add any TF
Variables or Peer Services for the connection.
Starting TINEC & CITECT
Before starting Windows you must load the Siemens low level driver,
load the firmware and load the communication database. Run the
following programs.
tfnetdrv
scp_mon -c
scp_mon -l
It is easiest to put these commands in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
Once in windows before starting Citect run the SIN_SERV.EXE
program. This can be made automatic if a new icon is made in the
StartUp group for the SIN_SERV.EXE program. Note that SIN_SERV does
not show it's self when running. Now Citect can be started.
Debugging TINEC
Test the CP1413 card address and IO Port from DOS using the Siemens
program DPRAMTES.EXE. For example dpramtes 3e0 d0000 tests memory
starting at 0xD000 and IO Port 3e0. The program should return OK
for all its tests otherwise a clash with other hardware/software is
indicated.
In the CITECT.INI file under the [TINEC] section put the setting
window=1. This will bring up a some debug information when the
Tinec driver is running. The information in this window will
include Sinec H1 errors returned to the driver as well as a trace
of requests and the corresponding responses.
NOTE: The SINEC and TINEC drivers can not coexist on the same
Citect IO Server. If you need to communicate to both S5 and TI PLCs
then you must use separate IO Server's.
