versus Acyclic Data
You will need a software package to configure Pointek CLS200/300. We recommend
SIMATIC Process Device Manager (PDM) by Siemens. (You can find more information at
www.siemens.com/processinstrumentation. Select SIMATIC PDM from the Quick links to
products drop-down list on the right hand side.)
SIMATIC PDM
SIMATIC PDM is a software package used to commission and maintain Pointek CLS200/
300 and other process devices.
SIMATIC PDM monitors the process values, alarms and status signals of the device and
allows you to display, compare, adjust, verify, and simulate process device data.
Electronic Device Description (EDD)
In order to use SIMATIC PDM with PROFIBUS PA, you will need the Device Description
for Pointek CLS200/300 which will be included with new versions of PDM. You can locate
the Device Description in Device Catalog, under Sensors/Level/Capacitive/Siemens
Milltronics. If you do not see Pointek CLS200/300 under Siemens Milltronics, you can
download it from the Pointek CLS200 or CLS300 product page of our web site. Go to:
http://pia.khe.siemens.com/index.asp?Nr=4924 andclick on Downloads. After
downloading the DD file, you need to open PDM and click Options/Manage Device
Catalog.
Configuration
To configure a PROFIBUS Class 1 Master (for example, a PLC), you will need a GSD file.
The GSD file
The GSD file can be downloaded from either the Pointek CLS200 or CLS300 product pages
on our web site: www.siemens.com/level, under Downloads.
