Taipei, Taiwan, November
23, 2007 –Ethernet Direct Corporation,
a professional and primary provider of Industrial
Networking and communication solutions,
offers New IntraVUE Lite network management
software, especially design for local control
and I/O networks.
The explosion of Ethernet devices at the
control and I/O level has created a need
for a cost effective and scalable diagnostic
tool that can be used by control engineers
and technicians. In order to respond to
this growing requirement, IntraVUE Lite
is created which will be targeted at Control
or I/O networks, as well as many OEM systems.
IntraVUE Lite will contain all of the diagnostic
features of the current IntraVUE 2.0 software
but restricted to a single local subnet
of 256 addresses. The software is well positioned
to be a cost effective tool even for small
systems.
IntraVUE Lite can be installed to run continuously
or used in a laptop as a portable test tool.
The software allows easy movement from computer
to computer, thus able to be shared between
service people. IntraVUE within minutes
of being connected to the network will automatically
identify and map all devices, as well as
provide details on connection health, traffic
and misbehaving devices.
In a bus or daisy chained configurations
of traditional industrial networks, Ethernet
communication passes through several active
devices called switches. These switch configurations
complicate troubleshooting by having the
transmitting device not directly connected
to the receiving device. Other diagnostic
methods treat each device separately without
understanding the path; this would be like
troubleshooting a circuit board by testing
individual components without referring
to the circuit diagram.
IntraVUE has been applied in some of the
most complex manufacturing networks and
has been selected by some of the largest
manufacturing companies. Feedback from users
and experienced gained from these plant
floor applications have helped the product
to evolve. Providing simplified and automated
mechanism to allow local resources who are
not network experts to quickly respond and
resolve problems is the major difference
separating IntraVUE from traditional IT
tools.
