Installation 3-2 SIMATIC TIWAY I Series 500 NIM User Manual
3.1 General Requirements
The following requirements must be met in order to install and use a Series
500 NIM:
1. The appropriate NIM configuration should be selected.
•
500–5039 (LOCAL LINE/LOCAL LINE)
•
500–5040 (RS-232-C/RS-232-C)
2. The programmable controller in which the Series 500 NIM is to be
installed must be a model 520, 520C, 530, 530C, 560 or 565 with an I/O
base. For full NIM capabilities, the controller software release level
should be greater than (or equal to) the releases in the following list.
SIMATIC 520 Release 2.1
SIMATIC 530 Release 2.0
SIMATIC 520/530C Release 2.6
SIMATIC 560/65 Release 1.1 (For the 565, you must have a NIM
with software Release 2.1 or greater. Release
3.0 NIM software is required for program
transfer operations with the 560 and 565.)
If you cannot determine whether your controller release is compatible
with the Series 500 NIM, contact Siemens technical services at
(423) 461–2501 for assistance.
3. The communication configurations of all devices attached to the
network must match; i.e., they should each have the same data rate,
encoding, etc.
NOTE: After you reconfigure the memory size of a 560/565 controller, the
Series 500 NIM must be reset.
