SIMATIC Process Device Manager (PDM)
SIMATIC PDM is a software package for parameterizing, commissioning, diagnosing and
maintaining process devices. For this device, SIMATIC PDM connects directly to the unit
using Modbus over Port 1 (the RJ-11 jack) or Port 2 (RS-485 on the terminal block).
The device comes with Port 1 (the RJ-11 jack) set for communications to SIMATIC PDM.
SIMATIC PDM contains a simple process monitor of the process values, alarms and status
signals of the device. Using SIMATIC PDM, you can do the following to process device data:
● Display
● Set
● Change
● Compare
● Check the plausibility
● Manage
● Simulate
PDM must be switched from PROGRAM mode to RUN mode in order to download
parameters to the device.
