Real-Time Visibility into
Critical Plant Network Infrastructure
Ethernet networks are the critical link between the Manufacturing and Automation Systems and
the Business Systems. With the number of connected industrial devices expected to increase
dramatically in the future — the Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly shifting toward an astonishing
50 billion connected devices by 20201 , creating a greater possibility of disruptions. With so many
connected devices to manage, detection, diagnosis and problem resolution have become
a costly and time-consuming task.

to industrial environments, providing visibility into all levels of devices. This enables operational
eld technicians to efciently communicate with IT resources. IntraVUE™ software also helps to
speed both documentation and deployment, and provides advanced analytics to optimize
ongoing performance.
Armed with these capabilities, the software empowers controls professionals to shift from
a reactive response approach, i.e., responding only when a disruption occurs, to a
pro-active approach, which can greatly improve both the uptime and performance of
critical, real-time networks.

Increase Awareness with Greater Visibility
Leverage Real-time Visualization and Monitoring Across
Ethernet Endpoints
IntraVUE™ software delivers real-time, graphical visibility into devices that reside on the edge
of the network, leveraging switch data to detect many issues that can disrupt performance
or availability.
Designed for ease-of-installation and minimal required training, the software automatically
detects all Ethernet-connected devices, and assembles them into a connection tree diagram
of the physical layer network infrastructure. The map details:
• Devices
• Associated IP addresses
• How devices connect to each other
This information provides comprehensive, accurate view of the entire Ethernet device
architecture. The map is displayed via a powerful, yet intuitive hyperbolic graphical interface,
making it the ideal tool for non-technical users. IntraVUE

Collect and Document
Essential Data
Streamline Documentation
IntraVUE™ software can export data devices connected to your network with
port-by-port mapping to assist with asset management. The software functions
as a data recorder, documenting all events and time periods, including specic
details— within seconds resolution—and stores the data in an internal database.
This real-time data provides a live view of the network and details for
diagnostics and advanced analytics that local teams responsible for your
equipment can leverage. Most importantly, you can use the IntraVUE
software detailed diagnostic reports to speed problem identication and
prevent costly downtime. The software:
• Identies and tracks changes
• Does not require seat licenses
• Collects data and provides views ofine to review networks that
have been scanned elsewhere
IntraVUE™ Monitoring and Data Capture At-a-Glance

Once the most critical areas of concern have been identied in the on-demand
diagnostic report, users can return to the trend graphs to access granular views
by device. Drill-down boxes on the graphical map provide information at the
device level about the connection, history of events, and support documentation
—reducing the time and labor costs of network installations and locating
documentation. Connectivity status is displayed in color codes on the map;
green (connected); red (not connected); and yellow (outside user set threshold).
Advanced analytics views provide access details that, as with all IntraVUE
software reports, are specically tailored to the responsibilities and skill levels
of various users, including:
