SIMATIC PDM

SIMATIC PDM is a software package for configuring, parameter assignment, commissioning,
diagnostics and maintenance of this device and other process devices.
SIMATIC PDM offers simple monitoring of process values, alarms, and device status
information.
SIMATIC PDM allows the process device data to be:
● displayed
● set
● modified
● saved
● diagnosed
● checked for plausibility
● managed
● simulated

PROFIBUS PA

3.5.1

Overview

The Process Fieldbus (PROFIBUS) is an open communications system for automation
technology and is specified in the international standard IEC 61158.
PROFIBUS Process Automation (PROFIBUS PA) is a variant of PROFIBUS Decentral
Peripherals (PROFIBUS DP), which is widely used in process technology.
3.5.2

Transmission technology

The PROFBUS PA has the special transmission technique MBP (Manchester coded Bus
Powered) and therefore satisfies the requirements of process automation and process
engineering requirements.
This transmission technology is defined in the international standard IEC 61158-2.
The PROFIBUS PA is based on the FISCO model (Fieldbus Intrinsically safe Concept) and can
therefore be used in hazardous areas.
