Hello Marques; Here is how the manual for PDM v. 6.0 explains the licensing required: http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/21407212 The standard version of SIMATIC PDM can use 4 TAGs (a "TAG" is a device) simultaneously in a project. If you want to use more than 4 TAGs per project, you can also order SIMATIC PDM with 128 TAGs up to an unlimited number of TAGs. With the "Integration in STEP 7/PCS 7" option, SIMATIC PDM is based on the SIMATIC STEP 7 or SIMATIC PCS 7 software package and is permanently integrated as an optional package in the existing installation. This option also allows the configuration of PROFIBUS-DP/PA networks and devices with the aid of STEP 7 HW-Config.The combination of SIMATIC PDM and the Integration in STEP 7/PCS 7 option is referred to below as SIMATIC PDM Integrated. So yes, you would need at least a 4-Tag license (standalone) + an Integration with Step 7 license in order to run PDM inside Step 7. Note that if you have more than a few instruments on your network I would definetly recommend the 128-Tag PDM license version, it prevents the nasty "too many tags on the network" message that blocks comms...
Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |
