9.2 Diagnosing with PDM
SIMATIC PDM is a suitable tool for diagnosing the device. You can use SIMATIC PDM to
read all parameters available in FUS080 to a table for analyzing offline, view online/actual
process values and online/actual diagnostic information.
Requirements
The following procedure must be completed before diagnosing:
● Connection of Modbus interface via PC and IrDA, see also "Commissioning via PDM
(Page 32)
● Installation of PDM and FUS080 PDM driver, see also "Installing the device driver
(Page 34)
Diagnosing with PDM
Online process values are available under menu "View" → "Display".
The "Measured Track Values" tab shows the gain steps and the flow velocities for path 1 and
path 2. For 1-path applications the values for path 2 (track 2) are "0".
The gain steps depend on the pipe size and the conditions of the measuring media.
The flow velocities depend on the flow in the pipe.
