Hello Navet Ahmed; PDM software (Process Device Manager) is an additional license on Step 7 or PCS 7 and is used to integrate "intelligent" field devices in a project. Field devices that require intelligence are mostly instrumentation equipment, communicating on specialized networks such as Profibus-PA, HART, or Fieldbus Foundation. We used it to connect and calibrate flowmeters, temperature transmitters, pressure sensors... in our installations. Your need for PDM will depend on your project requirement for such instruments. Hsve a look at this Help file for PDM on PCS 7, it comtains a great deal on the installation and configuration you would need: https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/us/en/view/109755005/94950676875 Hope this helps, |

Translation from the French text:
Bonjour Nacef Ahmed; Le forum d'automatisation de Siemens rassemble des participants venant de nombreux pays, de langues maternelles très diverses. Pour faciliter nos échanges, nous avons choisi l'anglais comme langue commune sur ce site. Veuillez nous écrire en anglais lors de votre prochaine visite, vous rejoindrez plus de membres de cette façon et les réponses viendront possiblement plus nombreuses. Merci. Hello Nacef Ahmed; The Siemens automation forum brings together participants from many countries whose mother tongue is different. To make our exchanges easier, we have chosen English as a common language on this site. Please write to us in English on your next visit, you will reach more members this way, and hopefully find more answers. Thank you. I would suggest you use an integrated license for PDM in a PCS 7 environment, configured for 100 instruments, based on the information provided in this link: - Delivery release: SIMATIC PDM V9.1 https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109748101 SIMATIC PDM PCS 7 (100 TAG): 6ES7658-3KD68-0YA5
The document attached to the following FAQ an provide some guidance on the PDM licenses, even though it is older and only shows integration of PDM in Step 7, not in PCS 7; the basic use in the present versions of PDM is quite similar in both cases. Notice in both suggested documents that you need an extra communication processor for your engineering station to connect PDM to your network. - How do you use the different versions of SIMATIC PDM to access the devices that can be configured with SIMATIC PDM? https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/43511126 Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |

Hi dechartie, I have 100 sensors I will not buy the PDM licenses. if it is not necessary for PCS 7, What is your opinion? Thank you for your help |
