New IntraVUE Ethernet network monitoring software from Panduit

If you’re not a network expert, Panduit's IntraVUE Software will help give you the ability to respond to network issues as if you were!

IntraVUE simplifies the support of Industrial Ethernet. With IntraVUE you can easily identify issues that arise when Ethernet devices are deployed in distributed and hostile environments including:
  •  Duplicate IP and MAC addresses
  •  Device or cable moves
  • Connection or application faults
  • Unauthorised connections
  •  Real-time Diagnostic Reports
If the problem cannot be solved locally, now you can push a button and send all the necessary files to experts who can help. IntraVUE's continuously recording of network information will mean many intermittent problems will be captured for analysis. 

Whether this is an internal corporate group or external support organisation, the data capture will provide enough information to reduce or eliminate the need for a costly on-site support call. 

Vendor Neutral & Industrial Ethernet Focused

The key advantage of IntraVUE software and Panduit support is that they are vendor neutral and focused on Industrial Ethernet. They understand the subtle differences as well as how to train local resources to be self-sufficient.

What may be a first time occurrence at your location, may be an infrequent but common problem found in other applications.

IntraVUE is being used in over 2,500 networks worldwide from small bakeries to large automotive facilities. This solution is cost effective for networks with as few as 30 devices.

IntraVUE by Panduit software is available to purchase on the Routeco website by clicking here. Please email us at info@routeco.com if you would like more information or call us on 0370 607 1000.

Reduce the Effects of EMI/RFI in your control panels

One of the core issues affecting the performance and reliability of industrial control systems is electrical noise emitted from devices. This electrical noise can create voltage spikes in victim wiring, affecting component performance.

Proper noise mitigation and panel layout practices help to ensure system productivity, quality, and safety. Panel designers have historically used air spacing between components and wire pathways for noise mitigation, per IEEE recommendations.

With Panduit® PanelMax™ Shielded Wiring Duct and Noise Shield, panel designers can provide noise mitigation with reduced air spacing requirements allowing for a space optimised control panel layout.

These products route, separate, and shield sensitive wiring from noise emission. This allows pathways to be placed in closer proximity, saving valuable space within industrial control panels. The shielding provides up to 20dB reduction in noise (EMI/RFI), or 90% noise voltage reduction (NVR), which is equivalent to 6 inches of air spacing between sensitive and noise-emitting wiring.

Several wire routing and segregation configurations are possible with the innovative Shielded Wiring Duct and Noise Shield, delivering greater design flexibility to satisfy a wide range of applications.

These products are part of the broad range of reliable product systems offered by the Panduit Industrial Automation Solution. These product systems aid in reducing design and assembly time, create valuable panel space savings, and provide easier installation and maintenance.

New Hardy Lift Deck Scales for Easy Wash Down

Hardy Process Solutions now has a new line of lift-deck wash down scales designed to meet the needs of the most demanding applications. These process weighing scales combine best-in-class durability with Hardy’s Process Toolbox features: weightless calibration and operator diagnostics. Hardy Lift Deck Floor Scales offer manufacturers multiple ways to reduce their maintenance costs and downtime.

Designed For Any Environment:
Hardy Lift Deck Floor Scales are designed and built for harsh chemical and washdown industrial environments. They are easy to use and install with the latest advancements in weighing technology. It’s a case of levelling the deck and attaching the included 20 foot cable, calibrating (if a C2® compatible instrument, set your reference) verifying before beginning to weigh.

Hardy Lift Deck Scales are available in three sizes from 36 x 36 inch to 60 x 60 foot in 1, 2, and 5 thousand pound capacities. Hardy Lift Deck floor scales have two to four handles on the decks for easy lifting to facilitate installation and cleaning, especially in pit frames.

C2® Electronic Calibration:
With a Hardy weight controller, C2® load sensors enable fast, accurate, electronic calibration without test weights at just a push of a button. The easy-to-use C2® system reduces downtime for installation and repairs and eliminates test weight related safety risks.

Integrated Technician®:
Each scale has built-in INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN® (IT) circuitry. When coupled with a Hardy controller, the scale provides diagnostic and troubleshooting tools that read individual weights and voltages to aid you in isolating problems. Together, Hardy C2® and IT eliminate the need to open the junction box, reducing the risk of moisture ingress. The junction box remains sealed reducing the risk of contamination for heavy wash down applications.

Hermetically Sealed Load Sensors:
The heart of any scale is the load sensors. All Hardy Lift Deck floor scales come standard with four matched Hardy ADVANTAGE® IP69K stainless steel, true hermetically-sealed sensors — sealed at both the gauging area and cable entry for long life. All are matched and calibrated for mV/V and mV/V/ohm. This eliminates the need for corner adjustment and potentiometers in the junction box, allowing a sensor to be replaced without calibration.

Hardy ADVANTAGE® sensors use a blind hole technique ensuring the load is applied at a precise location to provide an accurate reading.

Rugged, Low Profile Design:
Rated for 250,000+ load cycles under normal loading conditions,* these lift deck floor scales are built to last. With a deck height of only 4.2 inches and 100% end loading, Hardy Lift Deck Floor Scales feature a hydraulic system that enables one person to easily lift the deck for cleaning. Durable rubber-based feet are height adjustable from below the platform for easy levelling.

For more information about the New Lift Deck Floor Scales from Hardy Process Solutions click here.

If you wish to discuss your weighing requirements with one of our team of Specialists, please contact us by email info@routeco.com or call 0370 607 1000. You can also view the range of Hardy Products available on our website here.
