network.
PROFIBUS PA is an open industrial protocol. Full details about PROFIBUS PA can be

Configuration tool

To use PROFIBUS PA, you will need a PC configuration tool: we recommend
SIMATIC PDM. Please consult the operating instructions or online help for details on
using SIMATIC PDM. (You can find more information at www.fielddevices.com: go to
Products and Solutions > Products and Systems > Communications and Software >
Process Device Manager.)

SIMATIC PDM

SIMATIC PDM is a software package used to commission and maintain SITRANS LR 460
and other process devices.
SIMATIC PDM monitors the process values, alarms and status signals of the device. It
allows you to display, adjust, verify, and simulate, process device data.
For details on using special features available via SIMATIC PDM, see
LR 460 via SIMATIC PDM
