Drive ES in a integration add-on for Siemens Drives. You probably have Siemens Drives in the project configuration. |

Drive ES is a separate program that you need to buy from Siemens. It can't be downloaded from SIOS. |

Hello xmnj; Simatic PDM is a software that allows connection of instruments to a S7 CPU, over such networks as Profibus-PA, Foundation Fieldbus or HART. It also allows you to calibrate and monitor the connected instruments. Have a look at the following Product Description: Delivery Note: PDM v.9.1: https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109748101 Did your old project include any of the instrumentation networks proposes above, this would be the only reason PDM would be required in your application. Hope this helps, |

Hello Daniel, Thank you for answering. Some of our projects might use such networks. What is the easiest way to check that in a project? If I don't get neither Drive_ES nor PDM can I still open and edit both in the S7 and in the WinCC parts of a project and save the project without damaging the parts in the project that needed Drive_ES or PDM?

Hello Daniel, Thank you for answering. I have now tried installing PCT V3.5 in the older ES. I have downloaded the complete set of HW updates for Step 7 V5.X and installed as many as possible in both the older (Step 7 V5.5) and the newer (Step 7 V5.6) ES. After that I made a screenshot of the installed Siemens SW and opened two of the older projects taking screenshots of the error messages I get. I did that for the same 2 projects in both of the ES'es. I have to make 2 posts since the screenshots take more space than is allowed in one post. Hopefully you (or someone else) can find solutions t the errors.
