To do this, use a 3rd computer with the same STEP7/PCS 7 installation of the
original ES, plus the PDM installation (including the imported device catalog).
The following minimum PDM licenses are required:
•
PDM Basic License
•
One PDM Tag license for each field device.
Procedure
1. Archive the current multi-project or project and copy it to the 3rd computer with
the PDM installation.
2. Open the ES project on the 3rd computer.
3. Open PDM for a device so that the network structure is created in PDM.
4. Copy the PDM-MS project from Chapter 7.1 or 7.2 to this 3rd computer and
open it.
5. Open the Process Device Network View in this PDM MS Project.
6. Right-click the plant bus ("PROFINET Network") and select "SIMATIC PDM >
Import from HWK Station" from the context menu.

of the plant bus.

8. Start the import by clicking "Import"
9. Copy the PDM MS project back to the PDM MS.
