Abstract

A method for managing device lifecycles within an industrial automation environment. The method includes receiving a scanning configuration and a request for lifecycle management data through a user interface, and based on the scanning configuration, scanning a plurality of industrial devices within the industrial automation environment to produce configuration data for the industrial automation environment. The method also includes transferring the configuration data and the request for lifecycle management data to a product compatibility and download center through a communication interface, receiving lifecycle management data from the product compatibility and download center through the communication interface, and displaying the lifecycle management data to a user through the user interface.
