Hello Ahmed; I am not so familiar with CEMAT to validate the part numbers you have selected, the PCS 7 engineering and OS stations appear globally correct. In all cases when building a complex and costly bill of material with Siemens equipment, i always recommend that all elements of the purchase be certified by a Siemens rep., preferably with the distributor that will actually sell you the products.This gives you a reassurance that the computers and licenses provided will actually work with your project, and places part of the onus of correct selection on them, in case of disparity. For example, the license you have selected for PDM is for integration in Step 7, my thought was that you would be better off with a license for integration in PCS 7 (see the screenshot below). Also, the part number available in Siemens Support (6ES7658-3TD68-0YA5) is for the license only, the software is not included in the package; you must validate with your Siemens rep. if you must order the software as a separate purchase or if you can download it from the web. The discrepancy might be small, but it could cause delay and headaches if you discover it was not the license you actually needed for this project. Same for the rest of the bill of materials. So please send this list to your nearest Siemens rep for evaluation and comments before you proceed to purchase, it will save time and trouble later on. Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |

Hello Dechartier, I am happy for your response, Yes, I have transferred this list to Siemens for confirmation and for check the licences and software versions. I don’t know if this PDM license (6ES658-3TD68-0YA5) is Compatible for the engineering station? For information: all the sensors of project are wired, I don’t know if I need PDM in this situation? Thankyou for your Help. |

Hello Ahmed; This is part if a reply provided in an earlier thread on PDM; "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." If you are not using such specialized networks in your project, you probably do not need PDM. Confirm with your Siemens rep. Hope this helps Daniel Chartier
