Properties
Use of TS Gateway
TS Gateway is an application used for TeleService connections via the mobile wireless
network with remote SIMATIC stations of the type S7-1200 with a mobile wireless CP.
What is a TeleService gateway?
A TeleService gateway is a PC on which the "TS Gateway" software is installed.
The TeleService gateway is not configured in STEP 7.
What functions does the TeleService gateway provide?
The TeleService gateway has the following functions:
● Switching station
The TeleService gateway is a PC in the network that serves as the intermediary between
the engineering station and remote S7 station.
Since a firewall is normally closed for connection requests from the outside, a switching
station between the remote station and the engineering station is required. This switching
station can be a telecontrol server or, if there is no telecontrol server in the configuration,
a TeleService gateway. The switching station directs the messages via a tunnel through
the firewall. This allows access by the engineering station connected to a LAN to the S7-
1200 via a router and via the APN of the network provider.
● Configuration of the SMS gateway provider
With the help of TS Gateway, SMS gateway providers are configured that are necessary
for the sending of an SMS message to the remote S7 stations.
TS Gateway
Operating Instructions, 09/2014, C79000-G8976-C380-01 9
Application and properties
1.1 Properties
Configuration with TeleService gateway
A TeleService gateway is intended for the following telecontrol systems in which TeleService
is used via a mobile wireless network:
● Configurations without a telecontrol server
In configurations without a telecontrol server, a TeleService gateway is required for
TeleService via the mobile wireless network.
● Configurations with telecontrol server
In configurations in which a second path needs to be established for TeleService via the
mobile wireless network alongside the telecontrol server, a TeleService gateway can be
used.
This can, for example, be the case when certain people, groups or companies should not
operate TeleService via the telecontrol server or when access to the stations for
TeleService needs to be set up independent of the telecontrol server.
Range of performance of a TS Gateway
● Number of simultaneous TeleService connections in total: 1
Note
TS Gateway only for TeleService
TS
Gateway is used only for the "TeleService" function via the mobile wireless network.
No connections to the remote stations can be monitored and no process data can be
transferred.
First and second TeleService gateway
If the requirements for availability are higher, you can install TS Gateway on two
independent computers. If the connection cannot be established via the first gateway, you
can establish the TeleService connection via the second TeleService gateway. The two
systems are independent of each other and in terms of the range of functions identical.

Application and properties
1.1 Properties
Requirements for TeleService with the TeleService gateway
The following requirements must be met for TeleService via a TeleService gateway:
● Engineering station connected to a LAN or with Internet access
TeleService using the mobile wireless network is possible on an engineering station with
the STEP 7 project that contains the remote station with the mobile wireless CP.
STEP 7 version required for TeleService via the mobile wireless network: V13.x
● PC for the TeleService gateway with:
– DVD drive
– Connection to LAN or Internet access for connecting to the engineering station
– Internet access for connecting to the remote S7 station
– Installation of the "TS Gateway" application
The software ships with the mobile wireless CP (see product DVD).
TeleService for S7-1200 with mobile wireless CP
The TeleService functions for the mobile wireless CP are described in the manual of the CP,
refer to /2/ (Page 44), and in the online help of STEP 7.
TCSB or a TeleService gateway automatically makes 1 access point available for
TeleService per project. This means that up to 1 TeleService user can access the stations of
a project.
An engineering station is required for each TeleService connection.
Per station, 1 TeleService session is possible. In an existing TeleService session, a second
connection resource of the engineering station is used to load the project data.
Monitoring times when establishing TeleService connections
When a TeleService connection is established, the following monitoring times are used:
● Establish TeleService connection but no online connection: An interrupted connection is
detected after 1 minute.
● Disconnection of a TeleService connection:
– Follow-up time of approx. 5 minutes
Within the follow-up time, the connection between the telecontrol server / TeleService
gateway and CP is maintained.
If a new TeleService connection is established during the follow-up time, no new
wake-up SMS is sent to the station.
If a TeleService connection aborts, a new TeleService connection is not established
automatically.

1.2
Subcomponents of TS Gateway
Main components of the application
TS Gateway is made up of the following main components:
●
Telecontrol Manager (TCM)
The Telecontrol Manager manages the connections with communications partners. This
is the communications center of all connected software components in the PC side and
the process side. It controls the frames between the sender and destination address and
has the logical connection information and configuration information.
The Telecontrol Manager is not visible to the user. The configuration of the access data is
created using the CMT (see below).
●
Database
The database stores the configuration data and system messages. The database is not
visible to the user. The user interface to the database is CMT (see below).
The database has separate areas for the offline configuration data and for the online
configuration data of the runtime system. With the Enable function in CMT, the
configuration data is shifted from the offline to the online area of the runtime system.
●
Configuration and Monitoring Tool (CMT)
The CMT is the program user interface for setting up and configuring the system.
1.3
Configuration examples
With an S7-1200 with a mobile wireless CP, a TeleService connection runs via the Internet
and the mobile wireless network.

the projects.
2.5
Wake-up SMS for the CP 1242-7 (firmware V1.x)
Wake-up SMS
Waking the station by a TeleService gateway is achieved by sending an e-mail. The e-mail is
sent to an SMS gateway via an SMTP server. The SMS gateway converts the e-mail into an
SMS message and transfers this to the station.
The SMS gateway is configured in the CMT of the TeleService gateway, refer to the section
Configuring SMS gateway providers (Page 37).
If the wake-up SMS message is sent from a phone, the number of the phone must be
authorized in the STEP 7 configuration of the receiving CP (refer to "Authorized phone
numbers"). The telephone must support the CLIP function (transfer of its own call number)
and the sending of SMS messages.
The wake-up SMS message is not send extra when a TeleService connection is established,
it is generated automatically by the TeleService gateway.
Depending on the switching TeleService gateway, the following text must be transferred in
the wake-up SMS:
● Text for the wake-up SMS message for establishing a connection via the first TeleService
gateway (TeleService server):
TELESERVICE
or
TELESERVICE 1
● Text for the wake-up SMS message for establishing a connection via the second
TeleService gateway (TeleService server) - if it exists:
TELESERVICE 2
You configure the TeleService server in STEP 7 in the "TeleService settings" parameter
group of the mobile wireless CP.

Purpose of creating projects
To use the functions of the TeleService gateway, it is not absolutely essential to create
projects. If you do not create a project, the provider listed first in the drop-down list will be
used as the SMS gateway provider".
In larger systems, in which all stations are not accessed via the same SMS gateway
provider, you can create various projects that are then assigned to a specific SMS gateway
provider. The stations to be accessed via a specific SMS gateway provider are grouped
together in a project. This means that you do not need to change the provider data each
time.

number of the CPs in the STEP 7 project.
Note
Consistency with the STEP 7 project
Make sure that the project number in the CMT is consistent with the project number of the
mobile wireless CP in the STEP 7 project.
The SMS gateway provider is assigned to the project in the parameter area (see below).
Parameters of projects
The mandatory parameters "Project name" and "Project number" of the project must be
completed by the administrator.
●
Project name
Assign a project name.
The mandatory parameter is checked for consistency when it is entered.
If the entry is inconsistent, the input box is shown with a red frame.
●
Project number
Assign the project number.
The mandatory parameter is checked for consistency when it is entered.
If the entry is inconsistent, the input box is shown with a red frame.
As long as no project number has been entered, the input box has a red frame and the
configuration cannot be saved.
Note
Consistency with the STEP 7 project
The project number assigned here must be identical to the project number of the mobile
wireless
CP in STEP 7 because it forms part of the address of the connections.
Check and agree the project number with the configuration engineer of the STEP 7
project.

Backup copies are always created at 00:00h.
Restart:
When TS Gateway is restarted, the counter for the time of creation of the backup copies
is reset and the period is counted starting from the time of the restart. This changes the
time at which the backup copies are made. If you have configured the creation of backup
copies and restart the gateway computer, the backup copies will be created at the
