7.1.1.1
PDM function overview
SIMATIC PDM monitors the process values, alarms and status signals of the device. It allows
you to display, compare, adjust, verify, and simulate process device data; also to set schedules
for calibration and maintenance.
Parameters are identified by name and organized into function groups. See LCD menu structure
(Page 247) for a chart and Changing parameter settings using SIMATIC PDM (Page 70) for
more details. The menu structure for SIMATIC PDM is almost identical to that for the LCD.
See Parameters accessed via pull-down menus (Page 71) for parameters that do not appear in
the menu structure in SIMATIC PDM.
