7.1 Introduction
Before you can work with SIMATIC PDM, a project containing at least one PDM object must
have been created in SIMATIC Manager. In the following, the term "PDM object" is used to
refer to those objects that can be configured, have parameters assigned, or be diagnosed with
SIMATIC PDM. PDM objects include:
● Field devices
● Remote I/O stations (with/without modules or field devices)
● Networks containing field devices
Information about the creation process
● For information on creating a project, refer to the PCS 7/STEP 7 help.
