Is it possible to read HART data from a device without having PDM installed if you have HART AI cards? |

Did you ever find an answer? I have the same question! |

Hello; You need PDM as a HART primary master to set the secondary variables for the HART sensors( maximum 4 variables per HART channel, maximum 8 variables per HART module), to commission the HART modules, to assign parameters to the HART field devices... Without PDM, you will be able to read the primary variable of each HART device connected to the HART module (if you have inserted the device's EDD file in the module parameters). As a stopgap recourse, in case of loss of the PDM computer for example, Siemens suggests you use a HART handheld communicator to replace PDM. I have had no chance to test this, but it appears that you could use the handheld to set the device parameters directly. For more and better information, look at the HART module manual: SIMATIC ET 200M distributed I/O device HART analog modules https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/22063748 Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |
