Beckhoff Device Manager

The Beckhoff Device Manager enables detailed system diagnostics with uniform secure access to the
existing hardware and software components. System data is recorded, analyzed and evaluated during
operation. The data helps to detect deviations at an early stage and prevent PC downtime.
The Beckhoff Device Manager always starts automatically after the industrial PC has been booted. In
addition, you have the option of manually starting the previously closed Device Manager at any time.
The industrial PC is delivered with predefined access data as standard:

You also have the option of using the Beckhoff Device Manager to remotely configure the industrial PC via a
web browser. More detailed information is available in the Beckhoff Device Manager manual.
