Simatic Process Device Manager (Pdm) - Siemens HydroRanger 200 HMI Operating Instructions Manual

SIMATIC Process Device Manager
(PDM)
SIMATIC PDM is a software package for parameterizing, commissioning, diagnosing and
maintaining process devices. For the HydroRanger 200 HMI, SIMATIC PDM connects
directly to the device using Modbus over Port 1 (the RJ-11 jack) or Port 2 (RS-485 on the
terminal block).
The HydroRanger 200 HMI comes with Port 1 (the RJ-11 jack) set for communications to
SIMATIC PDM.
SIMATIC PDM contains a simple process monitor of the process values, alarms and
status signals of the device. Using SIMATIC PDM, you can do the following to process
device data:
• Display
• Set
• Change
• Compare
• Check the plausibility
• Manage
• Simulate
