Using SIMATIC PDM
2
2.1 Introduction
SIMATIC PDM (Process Device Manager) is a general-purpose, manufacturer-independent
tool for configuration, parameter assignment, commissioning, diagnostics and maintenance of
intelligent field devices (sensors and actuators) and field components (remote I/Os,
multiplexers, control room units, compact controllers). These are simply referred to as devices
in the rest of this documentation.
With one software package, SIMATIC PDM enables processing of more than 2500 devices
from Siemens and 200 other manufacturers from around the world with an homogeneous user
interface.
2.2 Using the documentation
Scope
SIMATIC PDM operates within a SIMATIC STEP 7 / PCS 7 environment or in combination
with suitable function modules.
Conventions
The names of the user interfaces in this software are listed in accordance with the regional
language of this documentation. If you have installed an MUI operating system, certain
designations are still displayed in the base language of the operating system after a language
change and will, therefore, differ from those used in the documentation.
