IPC diagnostics with the IPC Device Manager

Beckhoff operating systems are long-term available and meet the high requirements of the automation industry.

With Microsoft Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC (version 21H2), Beckhoff introduces the successor to Microsoft Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2019 LTSC (version 1809). Windows 10 supports multi-touch operating concepts and makes the tile design come to life. Pricing is oriented to CPU classes, allowing Intel Atom^® processors and processors in the mid-performance range to be offered at considerably lower prices. The operating system is only available as a 64-bit version.

With Microsoft Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2019 LTSC (version 1809), Beckhoff introduces the successor to Microsoft Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2016 LTSB (version 1607). Windows 10 supports multi-touch operating concepts and makes the tile design come to life. Pricing is now oriented to CPU classes, allowing Intel Atom^® processors and processors in the mid-performance range to be offered at considerably lower prices.

With the introduction of Microsoft Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2016 LTSB (version 1607), the use of modern operating systems at Beckhoff continues consistently. Windows 10 supports multi-touch operating concepts and makes the tile design come to life. Pricing is now oriented to CPU classes, allowing Intel Atom^® processors and processors in the mid-performance range to be offered at considerably lower prices.

The Windows Server operating systems are an optimal basis for server applications in an industrial environment. Microsoft Windows Server 2019 is based on Windows 10 version 1809. Use of the Windows Server operating systems enables the realization of client-server structures. License prices depend on the number of CPU cores and provide a scalable system, depending on the size and performance of the application.

Microsoft Windows Embedded Standard 7 is available in the 32 and 64-bit versions and also supports multi-core architectures and multi-threading. It includes a number of innovative technologies and new features aimed at the simple, reliable operation and maintenance of industrial systems. The operating system has a modular structure and can be extended by installing additional components. All common components required for the reliable use of Beckhoff Industrial PCs are included as standard. The embedded components such as write filters make it possible to secure the operating system.

Microsoft Windows Embedded Compact 7 is a full-fledged operating system from the Embedded range with very low memory requirements. As the successor to the Windows CE 5 and Windows CE 6 operating systems, it represents a cost-effective alternative to other Windows operating systems. The system contains only components that are actually needed for our customers' applications. Windows Embedded Compact 7 therefore provides a reliable and real-time capable basis for using TwinCAT on Beckhoff Industrial PCs with Arm^® processors.
