System communication
Communication is via the HART protocol, using:
● HART Communicator (load 230 ... 1100 Ω)
● PC with HART modem, on which appropriate software is installed, e.g. SIMATIC PDM (load
230 ... 500 Ω)
● Control system which can communicate via the HART protocol, e.g. SIMATIC PCS7
SIMATIC PCS 7 Engineering Station
with SIMATIC PDM
S7-400
HART
PROFIBUS DP
Industrial Ethernet
ET 200M

3.4.4 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
Additional information on SIMATIC PDM can be found at www.siemens.com/simatic-pdm
