9.8 Process Device Manager (PDM)
The Process Device Manager (PDM) is a Siemens PC program designed to configure HART
®
and PROFIBUS devices. Device Descriptions (DDs) are used to integrate different devices into
the PDM.
9.8.1 Installation
Install Device Description files supplied in the Device Install HART
®
PDM folder. This is
necessary for each type of field device that is used with SIMATIC PDM. This folder is available for
download from the website or on the DVD-ROM supplied with the device.
If you use PDM version 5.2, refer to PDM manual, section 11.1 - Install device / Integrate device
into SIMATIC PDM with Device Install.
If you use PDM version 6.0, refer to PDM manual, section 13 - Integrating devices.
For more data, refer to “readme.txt”. You can find this file in the Installation Kit.
9.8.2 Operation
There can be differences between the names of menus in the SIMATIC PDM software tool and
menus shown on the device display screen. Refer to the online help in SIMATIC PDM to find the
function number of each menu item. This function number agrees with the function number in the
device menus.
Use the same procedure for the protection of parameters in the supervisor menu.
