2.2 Device integration with EDD
FF devices are integrated in the control system in PCS 7 using SIMATIC PDM.
Note
Integrating FF device descriptions
Device descriptions of FF devices that you do not find on the "Device Library..." DVD provided
with SIMATIC PDM must be modified.
Please speak with your contact (Page 16) about this.
Liability
Siemens explicitly declines any liability for damages resulting from the use of the following
device description files and use in conjunction with the associated devices:
● For device-specific device description files for non-Siemens devices, the Siemens warranty
only applies up to the interface.
● For device description files integrated through the import catalog
NOTICE
Important note on the device description files included with the SIMATIC PDM
The device description files of non-Siemens field devices have not been developed by
Siemens and are included with the shipped products free of charge. The licensee is
entitled to use the device description files of these devices in the same manner as a trial
license in accordance with the general terms and conditions for the supply of software for
automation and drive technology. This right of use may be exercised by the licensee as
long as the right of use for the PDM software is in effect.
Standardized device descriptions
Standardized device descriptions enable intelligent field devices from different manufacturers
to be integrated in different control systems. The IEC 61804-3 standard governs the structure
of device descriptions (DD). This standard was developed in cooperation with the following
organizations:
● PROFIBUS User Organization (PNO)
● Hart Communication Foundation (HCF)
● Fieldbus FOUNDATION
● OPC Foundation
The device descriptions are based on the EDDL (Electronic Device Description Language).
