SIEMENS PDM Maintenance Station V4 – Configuration Setup Nov 2021
1 Installation PDM MS V4
 Install the new operating system Windows 10 from the restore stick via Restore option:
 Install the PDM MS software from the delivered sticks or the PCS 7 Media Package:
 Install the SIMIT VC. You find it below “Additional Products” in the folder “SIMIT VC”:
 Import the licenses for the PDM MS.

 Integrate the PDM Device Library
 Activate the PDM Server according to chapter 4.2 in the document with SIOS-ID 109776936.
Restricted DI PA AE SUP SPS 2

2 General Settings
2.1 Ethernet settings in Windows:
TCP/IP is always used! The ISO protocol cannot be used.

=> Make sure that in an existing project TCP/IP is already activated on the Plant Bus before you connect a PDM MS!
Configure a suitable IP address and network mask in the windows network properties.
Recommendation:
Use LAN #02 or LAN #03 for the Plant bus (can be also a direct connection to a PROFINET network).
LAN #01 can be used for an optional connection to a Terminal bus.

Advanced TCP/IP Settings of the Plant Bus network adapter:

Insert a second IP address for the CPU410 (= SIMIT VC) in the same network as the plant bus!

2.2 PDM settings:
Simatic Manager Menu “Options / SIMATIC PDM / Settings”:

- Tab “Maintenance Station”:
o Assign the current Project (after it has been created)
o Activate the option “Transfer Alarm to Maintenance Station”
(otherwise the diagnostic state of HART devices will not be updated properly)
- Tab “Communication”:
If HART variables are transferred cyclically the SHC mode (HART Fast Mode) may not be activated!
Settings for the PDM MS in the Technological Hierarchy below “Advanced Diagnostic Settings…” (export paths, web
links, …) or the configuration of the PDM Server (secure / unsecure connection etc.) are the same as for the PCS 7
MS.

3 Project Setup
Either use the Example Project or create a new project.
3.1 Project Setup with Example Project
Open the Example Project:
You´ll find:
Continue with the Ethernet (IP) settings for the PLC and the PC station shown in the next chapter.

3.2 New Project Setup

 Insert a PC station for the Maintenance Station and a CPU 410 for the SIMIT Virtual Controller:
 Change the name of the PC station according to your PDM MS computer name.
 Insert a Charts folder into the S7 Program folder.
Hardware Configuration of the PC Station:

 Insert
o WinCC Application,
o “IE General” for the plant bus
o PDM Application.
 Configure the first IP address on the “IE_General” of the PC Station:
 Only if SNMP devices (like PCs, switches and other network objects) shall be monitored in the PDM MS an
OPC Server must be inserted here and the SNMP devices have to be added and configured in the SNMP
configuration of the OPC Server.
 Save and compile.

 Component View: Configure the PC station -> Component Configurator is configured:
Hardware Configuration of the PLC:

 Insert the Power Supply and the CPU 410H into a rack.
 Configure the second IP address on one of the PROFINET interfaces of the CPU:
 Save and compile.

 Open NETPRO
A S7 connection is created automatically. Do not change it.
 Download the PC Station and the AS.

4 Creating the PDM Network Structure
4.1 Basic network settings

Open the Process Device Network View
 Add the top network node (“networks”)
 Add an Ethernet object for the plant bus (“PROFINET network”)
 With the first network a PC station with the local computer name is automatically added
 Ethernet Settings (for the PC Station): Select “Use network adapter” and any of the TCP/IP adapters
Optionally: Rename the “PROFINET” network, e.g. to “Plant Bus”
 In case the related project with the field devices is a S7 or PCS 7 project:
Change the Subnet ID of the Plant Bus according to the target project (-> Subnet ID can be found in the
network properties in NETPRO or in the HW Configurator)

For projects with HART Multiplexers or Wireless HART Gateways:

o Add a HART Server network
o Follow the steps in chapter 7 and 8.1.3 in the document with SIOS-ID 109776936.
4.2 Import or manual creation of the PDM Data for the Devices
Follow the steps in chapter 8.3 for manual creation or chapter 8.4 for “ Import from HWC station ” in SIOS ID
109776936.
 The PDM Network Structure with all field devices has been created:
If all settings incl. Subnet-IDs are ok, now the user can use the PDM MS to communicate with the field devices, e.g.
update of the diagnostics state manually from the Process Device Network View.
For the Maintenance Station Runtime the SIMIT Virtual Controller must be started and the Maintenance Station must
be activated and configured.

5 Engineering steps for the Maintenance Station
 [*** If not already done: Download NETPRO configuration into the AS. ***]
 Insert the SIMIT VC Dongle into one of the USB ports of the Microbox PC.
 Start the SIMIT VC via the TH menu:
or
 Assign the IP address from the CPU 410H:
 The SIMIT VC will be started:

 Open the Plant View.

 Activate the Maintenance Station in the menu of the Plant Hierarchy Settings.
 Create / Update the Diagnostics Hierarchy.
 Compile the charts folder.

The generation of the module drivers is not necessary, so this option can be deactivated.
 Download the charts folder.

 Compile the entire OS.
Note: A “S7 connection” is used here like for real controllers (and not the “K bus” like for PDM MS V3).
 The diagnostics hierarchy is now complete:
 Start MS Runtime.

6 Overview for project changing steps

For the PDM MS there are 3 different ways to update the configuration:
1.) Manual configuration in the Process Device Network View

Can be done anywhere in the network structure
2.) Export PDM data in the ES project and import of this export file (export either via Process Device Network
View or via Hardware Configurator and import only via Process Device Network)
This is possible for single PLC controllers and from a node not higher than a bus system (PROFIBUS or
PROFINET) in the Network View; the bus system at least must be already inserted in the target project (with
the correct Subnet IDs)
3.) Export and import of a S7 / PCS 7 archive with PDM data (“Import from HWC station”)
A project with a PC and Ethernet bus (Plant bus) must be already inserted in the target project in the Network
View (with the correct Subnet IDs)

Single devices, modules or parts of the PDM network structure can be ignored, created or deleted:
Final steps after changes:
 Update of the Diagnostics Hierarchy.

 Compile the charts folder with changes.
 Download the charts folder with changes.
 Compilation of the OS with changes (is possible also while OS Runtime is activated)

General Remarks about working with a PDM MS:
Please be aware that a CFC editor or a HW Configurator for field devices cannot be used on a PDM MS.
The CPU cannot be used as an AS with a program (CFCs etc.) on a PDM MS. The PDM MS must always be
connected to an existing plant with PROFIBUS DP Masters or PROFINET IO Controllers!
Compiling and Downloading of the Charts folder is here also necessary, although no CFC editor can be used!
The project network structure including all sub structures and all field devices is configured always in the Process
Device Network View (in the SIMATIC Manager of the PDM MS)!
