The ET 200iSP stations can be configured and parameterized per HW Config in a SIMATIC S7/SIMATIC PCS 7 environment. Parameters of the ET 200iSP stations and the HART field devices can also be set using the process device manager, SIMATIC PDM. Routing via PROFIBUS DP enables direct access to the HART field devices on the ET 200iSP with SIMATIC PDM.

The system function CiR (Configuration in Run) is also supported for the configuration of SIMATIC PCS 7 and permits the following changes to be made to the configuration during runtime:

• Adding of ET 200iSP stations
• Adding modules to the ET 200iSP station
• Re-configuration of modules
• Parameterization of connected HART field devices with SIMATIC PDM

Software minimum requirements

• SIMATIC PCS 7 environment: SIMATIC PCS 7 Version 6.1
• SIMATIC S7 environment: SIMATIC STEP 7 Version 5.3+SP1 including Hardware Support Package (HSP) or SIMATIC STEP 7 (TIA Portal)
• The latest SIMATIC PDM version is used to configure the HART field devices.

Configuration with third-party systems and old SIMATIC PCS 7/STEP 7 versions

The station design (configuration) should be published over the PROFIBUS DP network per GSD file.

Process Device Manager SIMATIC PDM is required for the configuration. It can be used to define, for example, alarm limits for analog modules, signal encoders for digital modules as well as settings for outputting analog values and HART commands for analog HART modules.
