Integration
Device integration
SIMATIC PDM supports all devices defined by the Electronic
Device Description (EDD) and devices described by Field
Device Integration Technology (FDI Technology V1.2). EDD is
standardized to EN
50391 and IEC
61804. Internationally it is the
most widely used standardized technology for device integra-
tion. At the same time, it is the guideline of the established orga-
nizations for
•
PROFIBUS and PROFINET (PI – PROFIBUS & PROFINET
International)
•
HART (FCG: Field Communication Group)
•
Foundation Fieldbus (FCG: Field Communication Group)
The devices are integrated directly in SIMATIC PDM through a
company-specific EDD or through the libraries of the FCG. To
achieve improved transparency, they can be managed in proj-
ect-specific device libraries.
Field devices are described in the EDD or FDI device descrip-
tion packages in terms of functionality and construction using
the Electronic Device Description Language (EDDL). Using this
description, SIMATIC PDM automatically creates its user inter-
faces with the specific device data. By simply importing the
manufacturer's device-specific device description packages,
you can update existing devices and integrate further devices in
SIMATIC PDM.
Technical support
If you wish to use devices which cannot be found in the SIMATIC
PDM device description library, we would be pleased to help you
integrate them.
