Commissioning via PDM
SIMATIC PDM (Process Device Manager) is a software package for configuring,
parameterizing, commissioning, and maintaining field devices (for example transducers).
Among other features, SIMATIC PDM contains a simple process for monitoring process
values, interrupts and status/diagnosis signals of a field device.
Note
For instructions on installation and operation of SIMATIC PDM, refer to the SIMATIC PDM
Getting Started (included in the documentation package that comes with PDM).
Note
PDM requirements
Minimum PDM version required is SIMATIC PDM V8.2 + SP1
Note
Default password
Any data changes in PDM requires a password. The default password is 1000. For further
information, see Password-protected data (Page 60).
Note
HW key protected parameters
For type-approved and verified FUE380 flowmeter the settings are HW key protected and can
be only read, but not changed via PDM. The HW key is located behind the display and is
thereby protected by the display sealing. The verification sealing may only be broken with the
acceptance of the authorities.
In the following it is described how the device is commissioned using SIMATC PDM.
The commissioning is divided into the following steps:
1. Installing and connecting the IrDA interface adapter (Page 49)
2. Installing the device driver (Page 50)
3. Adding the device to the network (Page 52)
4. Configuring the device (Page 53)
5. Optimizing the system (Page 54)
6. Checking the operation readiness (Page 57)
