Assigning the device addresses
So that the connected process devices can be distinguished from one another, each device
has its own address.
Be sure that the device addresses are set before operating two or more field devices on the
bus. Each address may only be given once to make sure they are unique.
Principally, the address range is from 1 to 125. The address 126 is set for the delivery state.
Normally, masters in PROFIBUS systems receive lower addresses. Therefore, we
recommend starting at 30 when assigning addresses to the positioners. Either use the keys
on the positioner or the SIMATIC PDM software via the bus to set the addresses. In the last
case, a new positioner is always connected to the bus and the new address is set via the
software. The next positioner is then connected to the bus and processed the same way.
We recommend writing the set address on the field device with a wipe resistant pen.

SIMATIC PDM
SIMATIC PDM is a software package for the configuration, paramaterization, commissioning,
diagnostics, and servicing of the device and other process devices.
SIMATIC PDM includes simple process monitoring of process values, alarms, and device
status information.
Using SIMATIC PDM, you can do the following with process device data:
● display
● set
● change
● compare
● check for plausibility
● administer
● simulate
