Accessing the acyclical parameters, with SIMATIC
PDM as an example
A program such as Siemens Process Device Manager (PDM) is required to access the acyclical parameters
of the modules.
The respective EDD (file package) must be imported into the program device catalogue before the AirLINE
Ex module can be accessed.
Use the Siemens PDM program version 6.0 or higher to ensure compatibility with the hardware.
The EDD is currently only offered in conjunction with SIMATIC PCS7.
New versions of SIMATIC PCS7 offer an integrated version of PDM. The advantage of these versions
is that they prevent uncoordinated access to parameters.

After starting the S7 manager, select “
Extras/SIMATIC PDM/Manage device catalogue”
via the menu list.
→
Via “
Search”
enter the source index in which the EDD file is saved. Then select device type ET 200iSP
and confirm with “OK”.
The ET 200iSP system data are now entered into the device catalogue.
The following images show how a new station is assembled in PDM.
