SIMATIC PDM V9.0:
The ideal service and parameter assignment tool
Efficient commissioning and prompt service
The new SIMATIC PDM Version 9.0 enables you to cut
commissioning and service times significantly in your
plant:
◾ Parameter data can be exported from the engineering
station to individual SIMATIC PDM servers, in order to
process field devices relevant to specific plant sections
without access to the engineering station. This enables
a parameter assignment and functional scope test to
be performed flexibly on local SIMATIC PDM stations.
And with shared data storage!
◾ The new process device plant view with structured con-
nection point information enables measuring points to
be quickly located and enabled for servicing work.
Mobile service
The new Version 9.0 offers excellent flexibility and plant
The SIMATIC PDM service and parameter assignment availability by means of the plant-wide access to all field
station can be used either locally or centrally. Both appli- devices with secure server-client communication:
