Controls Engineers are finding themselves faced with learning ethernet
networking terminology every day as more and more control devices come with Ethernet on-board or as readily available
options. Routers, switches, hubs, network setup, mac addresses, and more are inundating you with new terminology. When
something goes wrong, your IT team is overloaded as it is, you've got to try and figure out what is wrong on your own. That's
where IntraVUE comes in.
IntraVUE helps you
- Quickly determine when a device is offline, the most probably cause - no
more running from one wiring cabinet to another guessing -- IntraVUE helps point you to the problem.
- Document your network AUTOMATICALLY - IntraVUE finds the devices and
documents their IP addresses. You simply fill-in the fields for device names, etc and then if the IP address or other information
changes, we take care updating it for you.
- Pinpoint errors - for devices that seem to come online/offline a lot -
IntraVUE logs all this so you can review the history and look at connected devices upstream and figure out what is wrong, without
having to stand there all night waiting for the problem to happen again.
- Locate documentation - when you setup IntraVUE, if you setup each device
to point to the website or location of the product manuals online, then the information is right there where you need it, when you
need it.
- Remember device website addresses - All these great new plant floor
ethernet devices have little webservers in them for configuration and diagnostics. Can you remember what addresses, etc to use
to get to them ? Add that information to your device setup in IntraVUE and its there in one click when you need it.
