Predefined product configurations

SIMATIC PDM Service

This is a predefined product configuration especially for mobile

use in servicing for projects with up to 128 TAGs. It offers service

engineers all functions of SIMATIC PDM Basic, including modifi-

cation logbook, calibration report and detailed diagnostics in the

lifelist. SIMATIC PDM Service can be expanded by the functional

options "Integration in STEP 7/PCS 7", "Routing through S7-400"

and "Communication via standard HART multiplexer" as well

as by SIMATIC PDM PowerPacks (see under TAG options/

PowerPacks). The following program components are part of

SIMATIC PDM Service:

• SIMATIC PDM Basic

• Option: 128 TAGs

SIMATIC PDM PCS 7

SIMATIC PDM PCS 7 is a predefined product configuration for

integration into the engineering system (engineering tool set)

and the maintenance station of SIMATIC PCS 7. The product ver-

sion designed for projects with up to 128 TAGs allows the use of

all functions of SIMATIC PDM Basic (including modification log-

book, calibration report and detailed diagnostics in the lifelist).

In addition, it contains the functionality for integration of the

SIMATIC PDM into HW-Config as well as the routing from the

central engineering system to the field devices. SIMATIC PDM

PCS 7 can be expanded by the option "Communication via stan-

dard HART multiplexer" and by SIMATIC PDM PowerPacks (see

under TAG options/PowerPacks). The following program compo-

nents are part of SIMATIC PDM PCS 7:

• SIMATIC PDM Basic

• Option: 128 TAGs

• Option: Integration in STEP 7/SIMATIC PCS 7

• Option: Routing through S7-400

SIMATIC PDM S7

SIMATIC PDM S7 is a predefined product configuration tailored

to the use of SIMATIC PDM in a SIMATIC S7 configuration envi-

ronment. It offers all functions of SIMATIC PDM Basic (including

modification logbook, calibration report and detailed diagnos-

tics in the lifelist) as well as the functionality for integration of

PDM into HW-Config. SIMATIC PDM S7 can be expanded by the

functional options "Routing through S7-400" und "Communica-

tion via standard HART multiplexer" and by SIMATIC PDM

PowerPacks (see under TAG options/PowerPacks). The follow-

ing program components are part of SIMATIC PDM S7:

• SIMATIC PDM Basic

• Option: 128 TAGs

• Option: Integration in STEP 7/SIMATIC PCS 7

Components for individual configuration

SIMATIC PDM Basic

SIMATIC PDM Basic is the basic component for production of in-

dividual SIMATIC PDM configurations from single components.

It contains all functions required for operation and parameteriza-

tion of the devices, as well as enabling for the following commu-

nication modes:

• PROFIBUS DP/PA,

• HART communication (modem, RS 232 and PROFIBUS),

• Modbus,

• SIREC bus and

•SIPART DR.

Without TAG expansion, SIMATIC PDM Basic can manage

projects with up to 4 TAGs, and can be used - with observation

of the system requirements - for stand-alone operation on any

computer (PC/notebook) with local connection to bus segments

or with direct connection to the device.

SIMATIC PDM Basic can be expanded by functional options and

TAG options/PowerPacks. Use of the following functions requires

at least 128 TAGs:

• Modification logbook

• Calibration report

• Detailed diagnostics in the lifelist

SIMATIC PDM Basic is also available in the form of a rental li-

cense for 50 operating hours for low-cost processing of short-

term projects.

SIMATIC PDM option: Integration in STEP 7/PCS 7

This option is required for use of SIMATIC PDM within a

SIMATIC S7 or SIMATIC PCS 7 project with a local connection to

the PROFIBUS. SIMATIC PDM can then be started directly from

the hardware project (HW-Config).

SIMATIC PDM option: Routing through S7-400

This option is required additive to the option "Integration in

STEP7/PCS 7" if SIMATIC PDM is to be used in a central engi-

neering system for SIMATIC PCS 7/S7 with Ethernet bus connec-

tion to the automation systems for plant-wide configuration, pa-

rameterization, commissioning and diagnostics of field devices.

SIMATIC PDM option: Communication via standard HART multi-

plexer

This option permits SIMATIC PDM to use the HART OPC server

for communication with HART field devices via HART multiplex-

ers.

TAG options/PowerPacks

A TAG corresponds to a SIMATIC PDM object, which represents

individual field devices or components within a project, e.g.

measuring instruments, positioners, switching devices or remote

I/Os. TAGs are also relevant for diagnostics with the lifelist of

SIMATIC PDM. In this case, TAGs are considered to be all rec-

ognized devices with diagnostics capability, whose detailed di-

agnostics is effected through the device description (EDD).

In contrast to PowerPacks, TAG options are only suitable for

product configurations on the basis of individual components.

Using the SIMATIC PDM TAG options, the basic software SI-

MATIC PDM Basic can be expanded from 4 TAGs to 128, 512,

1024 or 2048 TAGs, and with the help of an additive PowerPack

also to unlimited TAGs.

The number of available TAGs can be subsequently increased

for all SIMATIC PDM product configurations by means of the

SIMATIC PDM PowerPacks. PowerPacks are available for ex-

pansion to 512, 1024, 2048 and unlimited TAGs.

Demonstration software

A demonstration version of SIMATIC PDM is also available. On-

line communication and storage functions are not available with

this version.
