SIMATIC PDM Service
This is a predefined product configuration especially for mobile 

use in servicing for projects with up to 128 TAGs. It offers service 

engineers all functions of SIMATIC PDM Basic, including modifi-

cation logbook, calibration report and detailed diagnostics in the 

lifelist. SIMATIC PDM Service can be expanded by the functional 

options "Integration in STEP 7/PCS 7", "Routing through S7-400" 

and "Communication via standard HART multiplexer" as well 

as by SIMATIC PDM PowerPacks (see under TAG options/ 

PowerPacks). The following program components are part of 

SIMATIC PDM Service:
• SIMATIC PDM Basic
• Option: 128 TAGs 
SIMATIC PDM PCS 7
SIMATIC PDM PCS 7 is a predefined product configuration for 

integration into the engineering system (engineering tool set) 

and the maintenance station of SIMATIC PCS 7. The product ver-

sion designed for projects with up to 128 TAGs allows the use of 

all functions of SIMATIC PDM Basic (including modification log-

book, calibration report and detailed diagnostics in the lifelist). 

In addition, it contains the functionality for integration of the 

SIMATIC PDM into HW-Config as well as the routing from the 

central engineering system to the field devices. SIMATIC PDM 

PCS 7 can be expanded by the option "Communication via stan-

dard HART multiplexer" and by SIMATIC PDM PowerPacks (see 

under TAG options/PowerPacks). The following program compo-

nents are part of SIMATIC PDM PCS 7:
• SIMATIC PDM Basic
• Option: 128 TAGs
• Option: Integration in STEP 7/SIMATIC PCS 7
• Option: Routing through S7-400
SIMATIC PDM S7
SIMATIC PDM S7 is a predefined product configuration tailored 

to the use of SIMATIC PDM in a SIMATIC S7 configuration envi-

ronment. It offers all functions of SIMATIC PDM Basic (including 

modification logbook, calibration report and detailed diagnos-

tics in the lifelist) as well as the functionality for integration of 

PDM into HW-Config. SIMATIC PDM S7 can be expanded by the 

functional options "Routing through S7-400" und "Communica-

tion via standard HART multiplexer" and by SIMATIC PDM 

PowerPacks (see under TAG options/PowerPacks). The follow-

ing program components are part of SIMATIC PDM S7:
• SIMATIC PDM Basic
• Option: 128 TAGs
• Option: Integration in STEP 7/SIMATIC PCS 7

SIMATIC PDM Basic
SIMATIC PDM Basic is the basic component for production of in-

dividual SIMATIC PDM configurations from single components. 

It contains all functions required for operation and parameteriza-

tion of the devices, as well as enabling for the following commu-

nication modes:
• PROFIBUS DP/PA,
• HART communication (modem, RS 232 and PROFIBUS),
• Modbus,
• SIREC bus and
• SIPART  DR.
Without TAG expansion, SIMATIC PDM Basic can manage 

projects with up to 4 TAGs, and can be used - with observation 

of the system requirements - for stand-alone operation on any 

computer (PC/notebook) with local connection to bus segments 

or with direct connection to the device.

SIMATIC PDM Basic can be expanded by functional options and 

TAG options/PowerPacks. Use of the following functions requires 

at least 128 TAGs:
• Modification logbook
• Calibration report
• Detailed diagnostics in the lifelist
SIMATIC PDM Basic is also available in the form of a rental li-

cense for 50 operating hours for low-cost processing of short-

term projects.
SIMATIC PDM option: Integration in STEP 7/PCS 7
This option is required for use of SIMATIC PDM within a 

SIMATIC S7 or SIMATIC PCS 7 project with a local connection to 

the PROFIBUS. SIMATIC PDM can then be started directly from 

the hardware project (HW-Config).
SIMATIC PDM option: Routing through S7-400
This option is required additive to the option "Integration in 

STEP7/PCS 7" if SIMATIC PDM is to be used in a central engi-

neering system for SIMATIC PCS 7/S7 with Ethernet bus connec-

tion to the automation systems for plant-wide configuration, pa-

rameterization, commissioning and diagnostics of field devices.
SIMATIC PDM option: Communication via standard HART multi-

plexer
This option permits SIMATIC PDM to use the HART OPC server 

for communication with HART field devices via HART multiplex-

ers.

A TAG corresponds to a SIMATIC PDM object, which represents 

individual field devices or components within a project, e.g. 

measuring instruments, positioners, switching devices or remote 

I/Os. TAGs are also relevant for diagnostics with the lifelist of 

SIMATIC PDM. In this case, TAGs are considered to be all rec-

ognized devices with diagnostics capability, whose detailed di-

agnostics is effected through the device description (EDD).
In contrast to PowerPacks, TAG options are only suitable for 

product configurations on the basis of individual components. 

Using the SIMATIC PDM TAG options, the basic software SI-

MATIC PDM Basic can be expanded from 4 TAGs to 128, 512, 

1024 or 2048 TAGs, and with the help of an additive PowerPack 

also to unlimited TAGs. 
The number of available TAGs can be subsequently increased 

for all SIMATIC PDM product configurations by means of the 

SIMATIC PDM PowerPacks. PowerPacks are available for ex-

pansion to 512, 1024, 2048 and unlimited TAGs.

A demonstration version of SIMATIC PDM is also available. On-

line communication and storage functions are not available with 

this version.
