Diagnostic support for field devices
PCS 7 automatically creates diagnostics drivers with the help of the module wizard for HART
devices, PA devices with profile 3.0 and above, FF devices, PROFIBUS DP standard slaves
and released modules.
Various add-ons are also supported, such as SIMOCODE PRO and DRIVE ES. When
installed, these add-ons provide the action lists required to automatically create diagnostics
drivers.
Diagnostics drivers can also be configured manually, but they must be created separately from
the system charts.

Configuring field devices
Information on configuring field devices can be found in the "SIMATIC Process Control System
PCS 7 Engineering System" (
https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/
109485969) manual.
You can find information about the functionality and operation of PDM in the manual "SIMATIC
Process Control System PCS 7 Help on SIMATIC PDM. (https://support.industry.siemens.com/
cs/ww/en/view/109482406)".
PROFIBUS DP devices
Configuring DP devices is described in section "Configuration of the I/O devices (Page 113)".
PROFIBUS PA devices
Information on configuring PA devices in HW Config can be found in the "SIMATIC Process
Control System PCS 7 Engineering System" (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/
view/109485969) manual.
The PDM check box must be activated in the object properties of the DP/PA link in order to
be able to use the Multiview and LifeList functions for the devices on the PA field bus:
The "Configuration via PDM" option is activated as standard for PA field devices.
