30  Operating Instructions, 10/2013, A5E00074631-11 
Communication is via the HART protocol, using: 
●  HART Communicator (load 230 ... 1100 Ω) 
●  PC with HART modem, on which appropriate software is installed, e.g. SIMATIC PDM 
(load 230 ... 500 Ω)  
●  Control system which can communicate via the HART protocol, e.g. SIMATIC PCS7

SIMATIC PDM is a software package for configuring, parameter assignment, commissioning, 
diagnostics and maintenance of this device and other process devices. 
SIMATIC PDM offers simple monitoring of process values, alarms, and device status 
information. 
SIMATIC PDM allows the process device data to be: 
●  displayed 
●  set 
●  modified 
●  saved 
●  diagnosed 
●  checked for plausibility 
●  managed 
●  simulated
