Operating principle
You can open SIMATIC PDM for a device from SIMATIC Manager or HW Config.
After you open SIMATIC PDM, the table displays the values saved in the project. These values
are projected values and default values of the object, which was selected before SIMATIC
PDM was started.
All objects for which parameters can be assigned are displayed in the structure view, including
the lower-level objects. Only the parameter table of the root object is initially displayed and
can be edited (fields on white background).
