Integration of the system-independent SIMATIC PDM Maintenance Station in SIMATIC and SIMATIC PCS 7 to connect to the plant bus

In contrast to SIMATIC PCS 7 Maintenance Station, which is seamlessly integrated into the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system, SIMATIC PDM Maintenance Station operates on separate hardware, independent of the automation projects and the employed automation systems (controllers). It integrates field devices and components via their Electronic Device Description and uses the communication paths of SIMATIC PDM to exchange information.

Note:

The SIMATIC PDM Maintenance Station V2.0 is based on system components from SIMATIC PCS 7 V8.2.
