Simatic Pdm

SIMATIC PDMSIMATIC PDM (Process Device Manager) is a uniform, crossvendor tool for configuring, parameterizing, commissioning and diagnostics of intelligent field devices and components.SIMATIC PDM allows a wide variety of process devices to be configured using one software system and one uniform graphical user interface. This results in reliability, and significantly saves costs for investment and staff training, as well as follow-up costs.SIMATIC PDM can be used in two manners:Independent of system suppliers on a personal computer or programming device with the Windows 95/98, NT, 2000 or ME operating systemWith an option as an integral tool in STEP 7, the SIMATIC S7 configuring and programming tool.

In this manner, SIMATIC PDM is also integrated into the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system.With the routing function, SIMATIC PDM permits access from a central engineering station to all field devices with communications capability in the plant. This is possible for field devices with PROFIBUS-PA or HART communication as well as for PROFIBUS-DP devices such as SIPART controllers or SIMOCODE motor protection and control devices.The display of device parameters and functions is uniform for all supported process devices and independent of their communication link, e.g.
