Simatic Pdm - Siemens SIMOCODE pro Function Manual

SIMATIC PDM

The standard version of SIMATIC PDM (PDM Basic) is available to you for parameterizing
functionality comparable to that of SIMOCODE ES Professional via PROFIBUS for
SIMOCODE pro.
The PDM options "Integration in STEP7" provides the following functions in addition:
● "Offline saving" of SIMOCODE pro parameter data in the STEP7 project and manual
transmission (no automatic transfer of parameter data during startup!)
● "Routing via S7 stations." Example: Parameterization of all SIMOCODE pro devices from
a central engineering station, together with hardware components which provide a data
record gateway (CP443-5 Extended, IE / PB link), beyond the boundaries of different
networks where required.
Note
The startup parameter block (Device parameters > Bus parameters) must always be set for
this form of parameterization to avoid the device parameters from being overwritten by any
existing parameter data during startup.
