Device management software for updating the firmware, software, and certificates for devices with an integrated OPC UA server. The Device and Update Management software is available free of charge under Downloads. To update the firmware and software, a fee-based license is required, which you can purchase.
Management software for diagnostics and configuration
Cost-effective production requires maximum availability. Software tools do not just enable you to commission your system quickly, they can also monitor it efficiently and diagnose errors reliably. We provide comprehensive solutions that enable you to efficiently use Ethernet, PROFINET, or INTERBUS networks in automation systems.
Config+ full version for configuration and diagnostics of an INTERBUS system
Diag+, diagnostic software for INTERBUS and PROFINET networks, additional areas of application are, for example, commissioning and maintenance.

Device and update management
The smarter automation components become and the more they communicate with remote (cloud) systems, for example, the more important it is to have up-to-date firmware for the individual components. Updates can be rolled out manually or automatically – and across manufacturers – with OPC UA-based device and update management. This saves time and costs, and minimizes the risk of cyberattacks.
Why does device and update management provide you with greater security?
- Security risks due to outdated firmware are ruled out at an early stage
-
Firmware from the manufacturer is provided automatically and
enables easy automation of updates -
Easy inventory of hardware and firmware data
(software/firmware status of all devices at a glance) - Create, distribute, and manage secure OPC UA server certificates
- End-to-end REST API for easy integration in existing systems

Device and update management with OPC UA
All devices kept up to date
Due to the growing complexity of automation, it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep software and firmware up to date. With the device and update management system, you can continuously update automation networks and fix security vulnerabilities in a timely manner – and do so independently of the manufacturer using OPC UA.
