Profibus PA Instrumentation PDM is an EDD Interpreter (EDD = Electronic Device Description)
Device files are written in
Electronic Device Description Language
Each instrument has an EDD file that allows it to be configured using PDM.

Integration in STEP 7 / PCS7 – launched from HW Config window
Parameterisation – changing bus addresses, alarm limits, damping, sensor trim / re-calibration (PS2)
Simulation – for testing interconnected loops that act upon alarm trips.
On-line monitoring – watch the process as a trend graphic
Maintenance data – installation / calibration date, plant location, instrument specification
Device library – add in new devices
Automation and Drives
Scanning DP/PA bus for node status, and confirming bus structure.
Configuring instruments over the bus.
Copy & Paste of parameter sets to identical devices.
Mapping of volume and flow characteristics.
Simulation.
Setting PA device to “Profile Specific”.
Saving of parameters (XML/HTML) at project hand-over phase.

Automation and Drives
Validation of bus fault messages (drill-down).
Calibration.
Online functions e.g. display/trending of real-time values.
Monitoring of “raw” measured value (not just o/p of function blocks).
Comparison of parameter sets.
Exporting data to Asset Management packages.
Logging of changes, calibrations etc.
