Note
Scanning a network
The selected network is analyzed during a scan with LifeList . A separate scan is required
for subordinate networks.
Starting LifeList
If the project is opened in SIMATIC Manager, you can start LifeList from the following views:
● Starting from HW Config
– Select a PDM object containing the field devices.
– Select the shortcut menu command SIMATIC PDM > Start LifeList .
SIMATIC PDM starts. LifeList is opened.
● Starting from the process device network view
– Select a PDM object containing the field devices.
– Select the menu command Edit > SIMATIC PDM > Start LifeList .
● Starting from SIMATIC PDM
– Requirements: A PDM object containing the field devices is selected.
– To open the LifeList , select the menu command View > Start LifeList .
Stopping LifeList
When the LifeList is open, click "Close".
Setting the address range for scan operation
When the LifeList is opened, the scan range is set to the complete address range according
to the protocol of the network on which the LifeList was started.
PROFIBUS Address 0 to 126
FF Address 16 to 251
HART modem Address 0 to 63
Recommendation:
Limit the address range for the scan operation.
A scan operation across a large address range takes longer.
