If a bac@up copy of your hard dis@ contains copies of license @eys, there is a danger that these copies may o%erwrite the %alid installed license @eys when you restore your bac@up data to the hard dis@, thereby destroying the %alid license @eys.

7.1

Choice of Communication Path

Some de%ices can be accessed %ia se%eral communication paths =for e?ample, &A'T de%ices %ia *T$44M with &A'T modules and %ia &A'T modems> depending on the rele%ant pro.ect planning. /hen you open SIMATIC PDM for the de%ice for the first time, you can enter the standard communication path. To change this, you can open the corresponding dialog %ia the menu command De1i'e E Co "ni'ation path. Any changes made here will be acti%ated only after performing a sa%e =menu command 9ile E Sa1e>.

7.2

Communication via HART Modem

If there is besides SIMATIC PDM a second &A'T master =for e?ample &A'T &andheld Communicator> connected to the &A'T networ@, SIMATIC PDM will brea@ the communication between whiles. Fou can immediately restart the communication. If a D,S dri%er for the Serial Interface is installed on your PC =see file C:AC,DCI<.SFS>, SIMATIC PDM needs probably se%eral retries to open the connection %ia &A'T modem. ,ne of these D,S dri%ers is, for e?ample, &A'TD* .SFS, which is installed with SIP',M P of SI*M*DS. Please uninstall the dri%er in order to a%oid this problem. ;se the uninstall tool of the dri%erIs application or ma@e the statement line in C,DCI<.SFS inacti%e and restart the PC. Ey inserting &A'T de%ices, for e?ample, in an *T$44M module, the &A'T de%ices will be inserted also in all &A'T3Modem networ@s automatically for direct communication.

7.3

Communication via the Serial Port

Cor communication %ia the serial port, set the transmission buffer length to " byte =9low9> and the recei%e buffer to "! =9high9>. /hen using a 'S$($ &A'T modem under /indows 7P we recommend for se%eral de%ices to reduce the recei%e buffer to " byte. To ma@e these settings, proceed as follows: * 'ight3clic@ on 9My Computer9 and select 9Properties9. Then select the following path: .ard#are E De1i'e Manager E Ports E C7M 1 ...6 . * Double3clic@ on the appropriate port. Then select the following path: Properties E Port Settings E Ad1an'ed .... * *nter the %alues for the recei%e buffer and transmission buffer here. * To accept the settings you ha%e to restart the computer.

n!ineerin! of a Remote "#$

In some cases, it is necessary to assign a concrete de%ice from the catalog to an ob.ect, before you are allowed to insert subordinate ob.ects.

After writing of a changed TA<, the 92earn9 function of &A'T Ser%er must be e?ecuted again.

The change of the name in an e?isting pro.ect can cause communication problems. Fou should not use special characters in De%ice TA<s. Fou must not use points =.> in De%ice TA<s.

If support is detected, this functionality will automatically be applied by Simatic PDM and result in shorter loading and reading times of parameter data from &A'T field de%ices. If there is no such support, this functionality will not be applied and the standard method will be used. NoteD If application of the 9&A'T 'I, S&C Mode9 increasingly results in communication brea@downs during communication with indi%idual &A'T field de%ices, deacti%ate the 9&A'T 'I, S&C Mode9 when processing these &A'T field de%ices.

* SIMATIC PDM con%erts parameters when the corresponding unit is changed. In some
cases it is possible to choose from units of different physical dimensions. There is no automatic con%ersion for this case. The parameters are mar@ed as Inot con%ertedI until they are loaded in the de%ice. If you later install ST*P # in different languages, you must repeat the SIMATIC PDM installation and tic@ the respecti%e languages.
