Hello Stefano; You can integrate a field device in PDM 6.0 if the manufacturer provides anEDDL file on its website (file with a .dd extension). Search the Rosemount website for that file. Note that some manufacturers (I found this true with ABB field devices, for example) even offer setup programs to directly integrate the field device into PDM, but that is not absolutely necessary (see the FAQ below). If the EDDL file is not available, you could also integrate your device through generic "proxy" device definitions available in PDM; you have to make sure you choose the proxy accurately, in your case, the "Sensor, Level, Echo" definitionwould probably fit your instrument. Have a look at the following FAQ "How do you integrate devices into PDM 6.0": it should give you good information on the required procedures. http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/22867597 Notice the available links at the top of the page, they provide additional information you might find useful on PDM field devices. Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |
