Operation - PDM
Operation via SIMATIC PDM 6 (HART)
(SITRANS LUT400 compatible with PDM version 6.1)
Features
SIMATIC PDM is a software package used to commission and maintain SITRANS LUT400 and
other process devices. Please consult the LUT400 online help for details on using SIMATIC
PDM. (More information can be found at www.siemens.com/simatic-pdm.)
SIMATIC PDM monitors the process values, alarms and status signals of the device. It allows
you to display, compare, adjust, verify, and simulate process device data; also to set schedules
for calibration and maintenance.
Functions
Parameters are identified by name and organized into function groups. The menu
structure for SIMATIC PDM is almost identical to that of the SITRANS LUT400 LCD. See
LCD Menu Structure in LUT400 operating instructions1for a complete list of parameters
in chart format.
For a list of parameters that do not appear in the menu structure and are accessed via pull-
down menus in SIMATIC PDM see page 26. See also
Changing parameter settings using
SIMATIC PDM on page 24 for more details.
Notes:
• For a complete list of parameters, see Parameter reference (LUI) in LUT400
operating instructions1.
• While the device is in PROGRAM MODE, the output remains active and
continues to respond to changes in the device.

SIMATIC PDM version
Check the support page of our website to make sure you have the latest version of SIMATIC
PDM, the most recent Service Pack (SP) and the most recent hot fix (HF). Go to:
http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/
llisapi.dll?func=cslib.csinfo&lang=en&objiD=10806857&subtype=133100
Electronic Device Description (EDD)
You can locate the EDD in Device Catalog, under Sensors/Level/Echo/Siemens AG/
SITRANS LUT400. (The EDD is written for forward compatibility.)
As a guideline to locate the correct EDD, the major and minor numbers should match
between the EDD revision and the Firmware revision in the device (e.g. major and minor
numbers in bold text: 1.0 0.00-04).
Installing a new version of SIMATIC PDM requires the most recent Service Pack (SP) and
the most recent hot fix (HF).
To install a new EDD
• Go to www.siemens.com/sitransLUT400 > Support > Software Downloads to
download the most up-to-date EDD from the product page of our website.
• Save the files to your computer and extract the zipped file to an easily accessed
location.
• Launch SIMATIC PDM – Manage Device Catalog, browse to and select the folder
which contains the unzipped EDD file.

Configuring a new device
1) Check that you have the most recent EDD, and if necessary update it (see To install a
new EDD above).
2) Configure the device using the Quick Start Wizard. See Quick Start Wizard via
SIMATIC PDM
on page 7.
Before initiating a Quick Start Wizard to configure the device, you may wish to gather the
necessary parameter values. Parameter Configuration Charts listing all parameters and
available options for each application type are available on our website. Go to:
www.siemens.com/sitransLUT400 > Support > Application Guides. You can record data
and select from options on the chart that apply to your application, then complete the
Quick Start Wizard via SIMATIC PDM on page 7.
Quick Start Wizard via SIMATIC PDM
The graphic Quick Start Wizard provides an easy step-by-step guide to help you
configure the device for a simple application.
Please consult the operating instructions or online help for details on using SIMATIC
PDM. (Application Guides for setting up Siemens HART instruments with SIMATIC PDM
are available on our website: www.siemens.com/processautomation.)
1. If you have not already done so, check that you have the most up-to-date Electronic
Device Description (EDD) for your instrument. (See
Configuring a new device on
page 7.)
2. Launch SIMATIC Manager and create a new project for LUT400. (Application Guides
for setting up HART devices with SIMATIC PDM can be downloaded from the
product page of our website at www.siemens.com/sitransLUT400.)
Notes:
• The first time the device is configured, you will be prompted to select a language
(English, German, French, Spanish, Chinese, Italian, Portuguese, or Russian). To
change the language again, use Language parameter [see
Parameter reference
(LUI) in LUT400 operating instructionsa].
• Clicking on Cancel during an upload from device to SIMATIC PDM will result in some
parameters being updated.
• Application Guides for setting up HART devices with SIMATIC PDM can be
downloaded from the product page of our website at:
