Replacing/removing field devices
The following applications are considered for HART and PA devices:
● Scenario 1 - Replacing a device of the same type and with a later version (Page 63)
● Scenario 2 - Replacing a device with a different type (Page 68)
● Case 3 – Removing field devices (Page 71)
● Scenario 4 – Replacement of FF devices
You can find information on replacing FF devices in the manuals "SIMATIC Process
Control System PCS 7 FOUNDATION Fieldbus" and "SIMATIC Process Control System
PCS 7 Help for SIMATIC PDM".
We recommend that you back up the parameter set before replacing or removing PDM
devices. To do this, click on a device in the process device plant view of the SIMATIC
Manager with the right mouse button. In the shortcut menu, click on "SIMATIC PDM >
Export...". You can use the backed up device parameters during a later parameterization
process, e.g. when replacing with another device type.
Exporting the change log
The "Change Log" and "Value Comparison" functions are available as of version
PDM V8.0 SP2. You can find more information in operating manual "Process Control System
PCS 7 Help for SIMATIC PDM (V9.1)"
