ery EDD-parameterizable device in the field plant-wide through
the various bus systems and remote I/Os. SIMATIC PDM can
thus perform the following from a central position:
read diagnosis information from the devices,

modify device settings,
adjust and calibrate devices,
Core functions
monitor process values,
Adjustment and modification of device parameters
create simulation values or
Comparing (e.g. project and device data)
reparameterize devices.
Plausibility testing of data input
Device identification and testing
■ Integration
Device status indication with operating modes, alarms and
states

Simulation
SIMATIC PDM supports all devices which are defined by means
of the Electronic Device Description (EDD). Based on EN 50391
and IEC 61804, EDD is the most widely used standardized tech-

and HART (HCF: HART Communication Foundation).
In SIMATIC PDM the devices are integrated directly by means of
their EDD or the current HCF catalog. In the EDD the device is
described in terms of its functions and construction using the

Support of system management
The current SIMATIC PDM device catalog covers more than
1,000 devices from over 100 manufacturers worldwide. Further-
SIMATIC PDM supports the operative system management in more, the devices of all manufacturers can be integrated at any

User interface
The operator interface of SIMATIC PDM satisfies the requirements
of the directives VDI/VDE GMA 2187 and IEC 65/349/CD.

Even complex devices with several hundred parameters can
thus be represented clearly and processed quickly. Using
SIMATIC PDM it is very easy to navigate in highly complex stations
such as remote I/Os and even connected field devices.
Several views are available to the user to help him with his tasks:
Hardware project view
Process device network view (preferably for stand-alone application)
Process device plant view as TAG-related view, also with dis-
