5 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.
