1.6 Communication tools
Most of the procedures described in this manual require the use of a communication tool. Table 1-2
lists the communication tools that can be used, with their functionality and requirements.
Note: You can use ProLink II, the EDD, or PROFIBUS bus parameters for transmitter setup and
maintenance. It is not necessary to have more than one of these methods available.
The PDM and GSD files can be downloaded from the following address:

Process Device Manager (PDM). If you are using Simatic PDM, download the PDM file set
and follow the EDD instructions in this manual.
